TRIP To MAUI IS
ATTRACTING TOURISTS

There was no meeting of the Promo
tion Committee yesterday, but Secre-
tary Wood IS weekly letter was sent out
as usual. 1t reads as follows:
Chairman and Members of the Ha-
wall Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen: Our efforts to turn
travel to Maui have met with such.
success that I have written to the
Inter- Island Steam Navigation Com
pany suggesting that they make ar
engagements to issue special coupon
tickets including lao Valley and Hal
eakala as well as Kilauea with an
itinerary about as follows:
Leave Honolulu by Ciaudine, Friday
6 p. m, arrive Kahului a. m. Sat
urday, take 7.20 train to Paia, hack
to Makawao, saddle horses to Halea-
kala, reaching summit in time for
sunset, spend night in stone Rest
House, watch sunrise on Haleakala,
then by horse and carriage to Paia
where Sunday may be spent quietly
or trip continued to Waikiki. Mon
day devote to lao Valley; Tuesday
across Island to McGregor's Landing
or Lahaina, preferably the latter point
where the Mauna Kea may be taken
for Hilo and the regular Volcano trip.
The total time consumed covering the
two Islands in this way would be
eight days, just such a trip as Mr..
John Burroughs recently took and of
which he speaks so enthusiastically.
The cost should not prove excessive
and if all the details are carefully ar
ranged, cannot but prove very at
tractive outing.
AT but slight additional expense
this trip can be extended to include
a longer stay at Hilo which we are
always anxious to bring about as
well as a carriage drive through the
Konas.
With the establishment of the Kau-
al Garage Company, of which the Hon.
j. H. Coney is manager, the trip to
Kauai should become a popular out
ing, and we hope soon to be able to
arrange for a coupon trip to the
Garden Island, covering a week or
ten days, and including the principal
| points of interest.
| The Islands have recently had as a
visitor. Mr.. Primus Bon, member of
| family that is well-known through
| out Switzerland for the splendid line
! Of hotels owned and managed by
! them. Mr.. Bon expressed himself as
| being deeply interested in the work
and has enrolled himself as a mem.
Der of the Foreign contingent of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee.

| five thousand special circular letters
to physicians and druggists through
| out the Northwest, enclosing witt
| each copy of the last edition of oul
climatic folder and some other inter.

/ 1t is such letters as the following t.
Mrs. Kerr of this city which encour
age us to believe that this effort will
bring results:
VANCOUVER, May 10th.
"Dear Mrs. Kerr: 1 am send
ing you this little note Just I,
let you know that we got hom
suite safely. Had really de
lightful passage and our only regre
was that we had not stayed longer il
your lovely climate for we found i
cold and bleak here and really hav
not had a good warm day since W
arrived. Fires every day. Mr.. Mill
gained twenty-fcur pounds and 1 tel
and several of the doctors here wer
SO delighted they want to send peopl
to Honolulu Immediately who nee,
rest and change. We hope to ge
back next winter"
The recent success of Mr.. BONN
and other local photographers in Sc
curing good photographs of surf boar
riders at Waikiki is going to enabl
us to advertise this distinctly Hawa
iian sport more effectively than w
have been able to do heretofore.
Information came to hand by tn
last mail TO the effect that the S. s
Sierra of the Oceanic line had bee,
chartered and was being fitted up a
