FLORAL PARADE A BIG
COMMERCIAL ASSET
Secretary Cooper Shows Why Business Firms
Should take an Active Part Along With
Society Folks.

The man who is to make big sue
cess of the Floral Parade for 1910 has
not vet been chosen by the members
of the Promotion Committee, but it
will not be many weeks before the
man is chosen and asked to get in,
get busy and bring out all the automo-
biles in town, because the coming
parade is planned to be the biggest
ever. In order that such a leader
may have proper help it is altogether
likely that women will have important
committee assignments this time so
that auto owners who may be back
ward about coming forward with their
machines, can be induced by feminine
persuasion to go in for the first prize.
The Promotion Committee held its
regular weekly meeting yesterday af
ternoon, and about the only matter of
Importance discussed was the coming
Floral Parade on February %, 1910.
The date is only little over four
months off, but time flies, as the Pro
motion Committee has had occasion to
remember in past years, and it is the
dvsire to get busy now and prepare
plans that will be absolute and perma-
nent. /
A Business Proposition.
The committee wishes to impress
upon the business community the fact
that the Floral Parade is not altogether
a festival to amuse the local public,
but a business proposition, akin to the
Mardi Gras of New Orleans, the Mum
mers parade of Philadelphia and carni-
walls in continental Europe, having for
its fundamental purpose the attrac-
ton of tourists from all countries to
Hawaii. The first year the Floral
Parade was designed as an amusement
for a holiday, when there was nothing
else to make a celebration off, The
Promotion Committee now advertises
the Floral Parade as one of the prin-
cipal features of Honolulu s fete days,
and is FOSTERING up the principal cities
of the world with the picture of pan
rider, making a campaign in a dozen
different ways to draw attention to the
parade. It has become a business pro-
position. Just as is the Mardi Gras Of
New Orleans, and to that end the
Promotion Committee hopes that bust
ness firms will take a deeper interest
in it than, ever.
The question of business houses put
ting in decorated ears or floats was
discussed at some length. Last year
sine business houses drew out because
Il here was no opportunity to advertise
on these ears the name of their firm.
The advertising feature was cut out

then and will not be allowed next year,
but il was shown that one firm, Ehlers
& Co., entered float. There was moth
ing about it TO indicate what firm put
it in, but there were many inquiries
and as a result the firm got good
deal of advertising IN that way.
Advertising Government Lands.
Marston Campbell, Commissioner of
Public Lands. in letter to Acting Sec
rotary Cooper Of the Promotion Com
mittee, said:
Gin the matter Of opening up gov
eminent lands for h0mesteads, I beg
to assure you that within a very short
while, several thousand acres of gov
eminent lands all over the Territory
will be opened up for settlement, and
full list of the requirements of occu-
patton will be furnished to the Promo
ton Committee, together with any lit
erature bearing upon the subject. It
is also the intention of the department
to advertise the opening of these lands
all over the United States, in order
that people may be fully informed of
the conditions here in Hawaii. +"
Our Parade Copied.
Carrie F. Thomas, a relative of r.
II. Trent of this city, has written the
Promotion Committee that since the
successful Memphis floral parade she
has intended writing about how many
of the Hawaiian ideas were copied and
contributed to its success. When a
floral parade was decided upon in
Memphis, Mrs. Thomas took a copy of
Honolulu paper to the chairman, who
was glad to get it. He said he had
already written to Hawaii for pictures
and suggestions.
cit may please you to know" she
adds, ''that four of your entries were
copied, the purple wistaria summer
house being copied by Mr.. Starke (the
chairman), and the "Old Woman in
the Shoe" by my sister Ida, who has
a private school for girls and young
ladies. Our float was quite beautiful
and won first prize in class of four
horse vehicles. The prize is solid
silver vase, eighteen and half inches
high. imported by Tiffany, and valued
at $500. We want to thank you peo-
pie of Hawaii for giving US the idea
of the Shoe"
Mrs. Thomas has asked for some
curios of Hawaii, some lava specimens,
etc, for the library at Memphis and
these will be sent on to her.

luln-and especially to the ones who
profit directly by the tourist business
to take the matter up and make the
1910 floral parade a success. And there
is every evidence that they will do So
| have talked with a number of lead
ing business men and they are enthu-
siastic on the proposition. Last year
there was only one business firm that
had vehicle in the parade. individual
citizens making up the rest. This firm
had one of the most appropriately dec
GRATED floats; and although mercantile
displays and advertising features
should not be admitted. every business
house represented necessarily gets good
advertising, especially if the feature is
such as to attract attention.
Afternoon Sports.
An effort should be made this year
to have sports or other features to fill
in the afternoon. as well as to repeat
on larger scale the street carnival fea-
ture in the evening which made such
good impression last year. A mem
her of this committee has suggested
that we at once take up. through the
proper channels. the matter of having
the Pacific feet time its return from
the Orient to coincide with our floral
parade. As the present itinerary
brings the cruisers here during the
first week in February, it is just pos
sible that the time could be altered
to suit our purposes. The proposition
is certainly worth trying.

The apple crop of the Canon City
district gives promise of being har-
vested about ten days earlier this sea-
son than usual, which, in the case of
some of the fruit grown here. will be
detrimental to its value and quality.
Ordinarily the gathering of the win
ter varieties of apples on large scale
does not begin here until about the
middle of October. but the indications
are that this year will be an exception
to the rule. 1t looks very much as
though the majority of local horti-
culturists will be busy in their or
chards next week and that picking
will be in full blast long before the
tenth of the month.-Canon City

Several boxes of Strawberries tthe
second crop have attracted a great
deal of attention today in the win

a country can produce not only n

and then duplicate that crop with
another equally as good, it ought NOT
to seem necessary to talk about the
