Clancy bags of Kona coffee to retail
for fifty (50) cents and one dollar
| ($100) should be provided. We might,
| by that time, also have enough of good
/ tobacco on hand to warrant one calling
attention to the industry by keeping a
couple of men or more busy making Ha>
waiian cigars and cigarettes.
"Pineapples canned in small fancy
boxes, say of three and six tins, would
readily sell, orders being taken for
larger quantities. Fresh pineapples,
alligator pears and other fruits in their
season, as well as jams, jellies, ETC.,
could be displayed and sold Some OF
our deft fingered Hawaiian women
could be employed to make hats, fans
and mats for which there would be a
ready sale at profitable prices, while
lava specimens and quantities of Island
eurios could also be disposed of.
As to the character of the exhibit,
that is fully outlined in the plan sub
mitted to you by the Interior Depart
ment.
SIN the carrying out of these plans
you viii have the active, intelligent
| cooperation locally of the heads of the
various Federal and Territorial de-
| partments, whose assistance ensures
| success.
| "On one side of the entrance to the
auditorium / would suggest placing an
[ enlarged Crossroads of the Pacific
map, say, twelve feet in diameter,
noting on this map, every morning, the
approximate location at noon the day
| before of every steamer crossing the
| Pacific, making Honolulu a port of
| call. giving name of steamer, etc. The
| map should also show cable lines and
stations, as well as wireless stations,
and should be on a scale large enough
to make fair map of the Islands.
81 should think also, that arrange
ments might be made with the Navy
Department to note the position from
| day to day of our naval vessels in
the Pacific, thus making the map of
still greater interest.
con the other side of the doorway
I would suggest placing travel map
of the world, with Hawaii occupying
| the central position. This map should
be approximately eight by twelve
| feet; the distances for full powered
steam vessels as shown on the cross
| roads map should be indicated, the
same data being given for the Atlantic
and Indian oceans; trunk lines of rail-
way to be plainly marked, distances
given, the principal ports and leading
cities of the world shown, cable lines
and stations Indicated. There should
also be tables giving cable charges,
passenger rates to Honolulu, etc, etc.
elm the communication received
from the Interior Department, I note
that a panorama of the Volcano of

the amount of money that would be
necessary to prepare a panorama of
this wonderful spectacle such as was
shown at the Midwinter Fair could be
better utilized in fitting up a moder-
ate-sized auditorium capable of seat
ing. say, six hundred (600) people, not
too large. Better a crowded room and
people anxious to come in, than vacant
seats.
"For series of five lectures there
should be provided:
500 lantern slides, colored, at SIS 500
1000 feet of moving picture films
for each lecture, a total of TO-
600 feet, at lie. ............. 1900

Gone lecture would deal entirely
with the trip to the volcano, showing
the good ship Mauna Kea leaving her
wharf at Honolulu, arrival at Hilo,
views about Hilo, trip on railway,
stage drive, arrival at Volcano House,
panorama view of the crater, descent
into Kilauea, with moving pictures of
Halemaumau in eruption.
.Mr Bonnie win be at the volcano
this week and goes prepared to remain
several nights, if necessary, at the
crater brink in order to obtain what
I believe will prove to be one of the
most startling series of moving pic
lures that have ever been presented
to the public.
"The other four lectures could be
made to cover thoroughly the four
large islands, Kauai, Oahu, Maui and
Hawaii, their scenic attractions, lead
ing industries, fruits and flowers, etc.
Special attention would also be given
to our luxurious bathing beach, Wal
kiki. and the glorious sport of surf
riding. Our public buildings, cottage
homes and beautiful residences would
| also appear on the screen.
During each lecture, one or two IL
Illustrated songs could be presented,
beautifully lantern slides being
shown while the songs were being rem
| dered by soft, sweet Hawaiian voices.
"FI would suggest three lectures
dailv-11 a. M, and 4 p. M, with
possibly fourth lecture at 8 p. NJ,
and believe that the Board of Commits
sioners would do well to try and en-
gage the services of Mr.. r. X. Bonine
to take entire charge of this feature

! years of experience in this line of
work and is fully equipped to under
