PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR TOURIST TRADE
Secretary Cooper Calls
Attention To Needed
Transportation

Acting Secretary Cooper, reporting
to the Promotion Committee today,
says:
We have the following communi-
cation from A. +. Knudsen, who was
| Alaska Pacific Exposition just
| ended at Seattle. The letter Is
carbon copy, or form letter." from
which infer that the writer has
sent similar ones to Others in the
| Territory:
During the last summer in Sc
attic the Hawaiian Commission re-
ceived great many letters and
hundreds of personal verbal inquir-
les regarding the possibilities of set
Ting in Hawaii. | enclose you a
copy of one of these letters which
seems to be the most comprehensive.
People MS whole are not satisfied
with the literature that was handed
out to them by our official informa-
ton bureau. One OF their cher
| points OF criticism was the lack oil
detailed description of any one tract
| of land that was available for settle
ment. What they wanted was depth
and quality of soil, exposure to the
sun, elevation above the sea and av-
erage monthly rainfall, what crops
|, II any, were being raised in the
vicinity. also the other questions
which are embodied in the letter |
enclose.
Il will return to Hawaii on the
Siberia November 16, and would be
very much pleased II YOU could have
given this matter some thought so
that could compare notes with
lyou and make a manuscript for a
pamphlet that would cover the sub
ject in more satisfactory way. We
certainly can get white settlers for
Hawaii II we show them In detail
exactly what kind OF land they can
get. Vague generalities will not
bring man to Hawaii. They only
| catch mans attention and make
him want TO know more about 1t. /
think II you will be ready to CO.
operate with me we will be able to
get out something that will be more
in the nature of a prospectus and
| bring man to the point of deciding
| by enabling him to know before
hand exactly what part of what Is
land he intends to settle in"
Mr.. Knudsen points out difficult
| ty which of course is nothing new
| to us. But the trouble is In giving
the definite information which he
| advocates. Every mail brings in
quiries just as he refers to, but we
are compelled to answer largely In
generalities. A young man, just
graduated from the University al
| Wisconsin, came down by the last
Alameda with $4,000 TO invest In
land, He went back to the coast

day. ! asked him before he left to
tell me just what impressions he had

iHAWAIpS AUTO
MAKES TROUBLE
County Fathers Didn't Call
For Bids; Liable
Under Bond

HILO, Oct. 19.-The troubles at
tending the purchase Of the Gaspar
automobile by the County appear
not to be over. As a matter Of fact,
It would seem as II the real fun was
Just about to commence.
Deputy County Attorney Carl
Smith says that the Supervisors had
no right to buy the auto without
first calling for bids. This conten-
tion is based on the law which COM
pels the Supervisors to call for bids
for work or material which involves
an expenditure of more than $500.
The question now appears to be
whether Auditor Mcguire or the
County Fathers are the ones to be
held liable under their bonds.
Auditor Mcguire stated last week
that the Deputy County Attorney
had told him that he mad better get
the thousand dollars paid for the
automobile back from Joe Gaspar.
as otherwise suit would be instituted
on his bond, as the purchase had
been made without authority Of law.
In the meantime the warrant for the
money had already been sent to Gas
par. This gentleman had, as mat
ter Of fact, already been paid the
bulk of the money before the pur-
chase was authorized by the Super
visors at their last meeting. through
some little arrangement, the details
Of which are not quite clear. Ma
guire said that he did not want to
appear as a fool and ask Gaspar to
give the money back after It had
once been given to him.
ut is true that did tell Mr.. Ma
gulre to do that or there would be
suit brought on his bond" said Mr..
Smith. However, told him that
merely as a private suggestion, and
I am surprised that he should have
told 1t to anyone.
AS a matter Of fact, the County
has no right to make purchases or
this kind without first calling for
bids"
We'll do you anticipate that
there with actually be suit brought
on the Auditors bond?" Mr.. Smith
was asked,
Il cannot say just what will hap
pen now was the reply. 81 wish
first to consult with one or two par
ties who are interested In the mat
ter, should be very sorry to see
Mr.. Mcguire to get into trouble over
this matter. as he is an Official who
Is trying his best to do his duty.
Furthermore, the Supervisors are, as
matter of fact, liable under their
bonds, also, and the question is
whether they are not the parties who
should be held liable, as they are the
ones who rush into things without
any regard to the consequences and
without caring for the laws. "r-riilo

ACOURSE OF ADDRESSES

College and university men are
interested enough In religion to put
their thoughts into questions which
they fire at the celebrated preachers
asked to'fll the leading college pull
pits of the country. A number OF
these inquiries were published re-
Gently by an eastern periodical. Il
Is proposed by the pastor of Central
Union Church to deliver a series of
addresses upon these inquiries on
Sunday evenings occasionally. The
hrst OF these will be given next Sum
day at 1880 y. m. The course will
be known as young Americas Re-

here, but his statement shows pretty

Mr.. Knudsen's suggestions.

week who got their idea of coming

want to know more about Hawaii

The TRUE DEMOCRAT has re-
ceived a number of compliments
on the fight it made for the con-
tinuance of the l.. r. & N. morn
ing train as far as Angola, after
the management had announced
it's intention of stopping it at
Baton Rouge. We do not claim
much of the credit for this, as all
the people between Baton Rouge
and Angola made a strenuous
kick against the proposed change
However, it is pleasing to know
that our efforts in behalf of the
people of West Feliciana are APP
preciated, and such appreciation
goes a long way in giving oul
readers the very best paper it is
possible for us to produce.

An Interesting Game.

The closest and most interest
ing game of ball played here this
season was pulled off at Fellclana
Park, Sunday afternoon, between
the Felicianas and the Schwartz
Stars of New Orleans.
The game was a pitchers bat
tie from start to finish and re-
suited in a score of l to 0 in favor
of the Felicianas. Wade BuqOui's
sensational running one-hand
catch was easily the feature OF
the game, and his two'base hit
brought in the one run made
The Stars brought up but six
of their regular men, claiming
that three of them got left. How
ever, they played Dudley Weber
of Donaldsonville on second, and
Jimmie Dardenne and Tony San
soni. Weber is a frst'class
player and second base is his
regular position. Dardenne and
Sansoni are both good players
and have played with the. Fell
cianas this season. Taken alto
gether, the Stars had a stronl
team, and if all their regula.
players had been here, it il
doubtful if the result would hav
been different.

Tipp lives In Seattle. and Wilson

a complaint will be fled against
