CAN A man
BUY A PAYING
FARM IN HAWAII I?
THE QUESTION PASSED The PROMOTION COMMITTEE NOT
VERY EVIDENCES PROMO
TON sUCCEss-A NEW KIND ADVERTISING OF HAWAII BE
PLANNED

The following is this weeks report
to the promotion Committee by Acting
Secretary Cooper:
Honolulu, Nov Is, 1909.
Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee:
conference.-the following extracts
from a letter just received from a resi-
dent of Suclemich, Wash, contains,
in substance, the burden of a constant
ly increasing number of inquiries from
all parts of the United States.
Dear Sir:-I have been much in
terested in your booklet on Hawaii and
| write to ask you if a man with small
capital can get me any information
about whether one can buy a small
farm say 20 acres. / mean land that
is partly improved, suitable to raise
fruit, cows and chickens. Let me
know what good land can be bought
for, and also if there is any opportunity
to start in some small business, and
what kind. Will you also send me a
Honolulu Sunday paper? will en-
close ten cents and a stamped envelope
addressed Give me any other infor-
nation you can in regard to what is re-
quired to start there"
We have not only been receiving a
great many letters like this, but many
similar ones are being directed to the
Governors Office, the U. S. Agricultu-
raj Experiment Station, the Terrific
raj Land Office, and to private citizens
and business firms. Many of these
are being referred to this office for re-
ply, and certainly do not feel that the
responsibility of replying to them is
a light one. l mention this because l
should appreciate having any sugges-
lions from you or any other citizen
interested.
BRIGHT FOR TOURIST BUSINESS.
We have a very interesting letter
by the last mail from our Secretary,
Mr.. Wood written from Shanghai,
China The letter deals largely with
his observations in Japan, and is most
encouraging. He says
II sincerely believe that as a result
of my observations l shall be able to
offer suggestions that will tend to in
crease the effectiveness of our work
throughout Japan materially, but will
defer going into the matter until my
return. Japan is anticipating a very
good tourist season. The hotel men
and merchants feel quite cheerful over
the outlook. The United States con-
tributes by far the largest proportion
of their tourists, yet singular to say
there is no systematic effort being
made to build up this travel The
Welcome Society, a most excellent in
stitution, is practically without funds
and the partines directly interested do
not even pretend to assist. Financial
ly, conditions are unsatisfactory. 1 met
several members of the Board of Gov

ed our line of work, and urged them

CHIbDRBN'S
HOSPITAL
Opening

There will be a double ceremony
inaugurating the Children's Hospital
on Kuakini road the afternoon OF
Thanksgiving Day. The two features
Of a house warming and a corner
stone laying will be carried out.
Ceremonies will start at o'clock
and conclude in ample time for all
who attend to return 90 their re-
spective places of abode for the
Thanksgiving dinner.
Since the building is erected the
question naturally arises as to how
and where the corner stone is to be
laid. 1t will be placed underneath
the buttress to the main steps.
The public will be invited. It is
hoped that Hon. Albert s. Wilcox,
who donated the money to erect the
building, will say something to the
assemblage. Judge Dole and per-
haps Alonzo Gartley will have re,
marks to offer. Possibly also some
doctor will have word to say.
Refreshments will be served by a
committee of ladies'.
Miss Dewar, late of the PaIama
Hospital, has been appointed by the
board of governors as mansEing
nurse of the Children's Hospital.
Judge Dole is president of the
board, and the house committee con
sists of James F. Morgan, w. o.
Smith and A. Gartley.

TO ENTERTAIN VISITORS.
believe that it will only be short
time until we shall be able to offer
an added variety of attractions to tou-
rists visiting Honolulu. Several citi
zens who have looked closely into the
matter have assured me that Hawaii
should prove one of the most attrac-
tive places in the world to the en-
thusiastic angler, and they abe at work
row to demonstrate this fact and to
secure some photographs which may
be used for advertising purposes. One
line, has visited the famous Catalina,
California, fishing grounds, and he is
confident that our waters far excel that
place, not only in the regularity of the
fishing season, buC in the greater num-
Der of varieties of game fishes which
we have available.
|. There will also soon be a systematic
ed effort made to organize fishing par
ties, tramping parties, etc. among the
visitors in the city, thus preventing as
much as possible persons from leaving
the Territory with the impression that
they have exhausted the possibilities
of the islands without having been out
side of Honolulu.
GOOD WORK IN LOS ANGELES.
Mrs. Headlee, our representative in
Los Angeles, sends a very encourag-
ing report in which she says:
II have had more inquiries thus far
this season than the whole of last sea-
son. If this interest keeps up, the pre-
sent inadequate steamship service will
be still more apparent.
; Il have received recently letter
/ from Miss O'Neil, of Butte, Mont,
who wishes to arrange an excursion to
Hawaii, and wants specific directions. |

Live at Home.

BastrOp Enterprise;
James j. Hill, the great rail-
road magnate, has prOphesied
that in the near future the cost
of living will be so high that the
wage Garner will be forced TO
economic; that he will have TO
abandon meats and other high
priced articles of food and live
on cereals, light and cheap diets.
This may be true as to wage
earners in cities and thickly pop.
ulated communities, but it viii
never affect a people like ours,
where every man, though poor in
possession of this worlds goods,
is his own master, with plenty
of room to grow his meats and
his bread. And his meats will
be of the very best beef, mutton,
kid and chicken. We cannot i'm.
agine a people practicing econo-
my, when they are already hay.
ing to plan and SHIFT to make
their small incomes to support
them. This is the life of the
wage Garner of the thickly popu'
lated countries, but not so with
the people in a country like ours.
There may come times when we
are forced to be less extrayagant,
but we have too much room and
our facilities and resources are
too great to actually want for the
necessaries of life, if we only
work.
