"Garden of the East.v

Atkinson picked up large and very

department of Java, which he brought
home for the promotion committee. 1t
characterizes Java as the "Garden of
the East and the Gland of Eternal
SUMNER and calls attention to $3.50
active volcanoes" "splendid motor
ing" and "palatial hotels" The prin-
cipal feature of the design is an almost
life-sized figure of Javanese girl in
in native garb, with rice terraces and
a smoking volcano cone in the back
ground.
Java Leads in Orient.
"But the East is beginning to wake
up TO the value of the tourist business"
said Jack, "and is beginning to sit up
and take notice. Java is probably lead
ing in eastern promotion work, but
she has only just begun. Up to few
years ago she, with all the rest of the
Orient, was something like Hawaii was
twenty or thirty years ago-didn't care
whether any outsiders came or not, and
rather hoped they wouldn't. Java
makes a big feature of her volcanoes.
We don't make nearly enough of a
feature of ours. And when it comes to
automobiling, we have the whole Orient
backed off the board. You can't motor
in Japan, for the streets are so narrow
that 'rickshas are prohibited by law
| from travelling two abreast.

motion committee while in Yokohama.
He will bring back lot of valuable
IDEAS about spreading our light in the

"The Orient has some magnificent
steamer cruises among the thousands of
islands of the various archipelagoes,
and they are beginning to be popular.
] think we should work for this kind
of business among our islands and also
to try to encourage touring in the Pa
cific generally. We will always be the
lcenter of such business.'

CLARKS TOUR AID. AT FAULT

The famous Clark cruise around the
world, which is to make this port on
January % next, has been advertising
the trip extensively in the eastern
papers, and particularizes the ports at
which the vessel will stop, but makes
absolutely no mention of Honolulu or
tie Hawaiian Islands. Madeira, Egypt,
India, Ceylon, Burma, Java, Borneo,
Philippines, China, Japan are all ad-
vertised as places at which the excur-
sion will touch The adj in a recent
issue of the New York Times is attrac-
lively gotten up and tells of the Cleve-
land, "1S,OO0 tons, brand new, superb
ly fitted, with elevator, grillroom, gym
nasium, deck swimming pool.
An unusual chance to visit unusually
attractive places
The Hawaii Promotion Committee has
been assisting Clark in every possible
way to give the six hundred tourists
aboard the Cleveland the time of their
lives while they are in Honolulu. Sec
rotary Wood and Acting Secretary
Cooper have cooperated with the Clark
people in the endeavor to have the Ho-
nolulu visit one of the hits of the whole
voyage, and yet very little mention has
been given by the Clarks in their ad-
vertisement or itineraries. A supple
mentary itinerary was gotten out, but
this is in the form of leafet for the
use of the passengers just before they
reach Honolulu, giving them informa-
ton as to the two days doings in this
port. But that information was not
made public or given out generally. The
public knows only that the Cleveland
will visit many oriental countries, but
knows little or nothing of the fact that
two days are to be spent here.
1t is quite probable that the promo
ton committee will call the attention
of the Clark people to this oversight.

HlL0 TOWN IN
NEED OF CLEANING

HILO, October 10" What the peo-
pie of Hilo ought to do is to clean up
their town. The condition prevailing
is not only unsanitary, but it provides
every possible opportunity for con-
fiagration."
This statement was made by A. R.
Gurrey, of the board of fire under
writers, who is spending some weeks in
this city looking into local conditions
and obtaining data for use of the
board:
"My business takes me to practical
ly every building in town, in the back
yards and the alleyways,' continued
Mr.. Gurrey "And / have been amazed
at the conditions which / have found.
Behind the stores and the houses you
will find great piles of rubbish, paper,
old boxes, rags, in fact all kinds of
stuff which can be of no conceivable
use to any one, and which should be
burned promptly instead of being al
lowed to accumulate for untold ages.
"Of course, such a condition must be
unsanitary; these rubbish piles which
you find everywhere are ideal breeding
places for rats. and from an insurance
point of view it is intolerable."
