Unequaled Entertainment Features.

OnequaleO entertainment featureS.
The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as we'll as
one of the largest, in existence. 1t has
one of the few spring floors to be found
in the country, making dancing peeu-
liarly delightful. 1t is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry It's walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are decora-
tions by the most famous mural artists
of the world. And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Franciscans
are very sociable people, and the rec.
ords of the ballroom show that it is
occupied an average of three times a
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room,
which has, perhaps, held more distin-
guished company than any other room
of its kind west Of Chicago. On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
Cafe banquet room, hall of superb
proportions and simple grandeur. It is
the best illustration of a hall of the
Norman period. Even the tesselated
floor is made of special design, a char
acteristic of the Norman times. From
the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers of
quaint design, made of hand-wrought
iron in Paris especially for this room.
The long French windows, which cover
the entire north side of the Norman
Cafe, open on the terrace, broau
tagged promenade, which overlooks the
Bay of San Francisco and the city,

tainment, the terrace is eanvassed in,
making another hall, almost as large as
the Norman Cafe itself. On warm days
the terrace presents an animated scene
reminding one largely of Paris or the
embankment in London. Here parties
of convivial spirits gather around the
tables where lunch is served in the open
air, overlooking the most beautiful
panorama of mountain and sea.
Numerous Dining Places.
Another thing for which the Fair
mont Hotel is noted is the number and
, variety of it's different dining places
In them one may find place to dine
as suits his convenience. The Laurel
Court, which is Immediately behind the
lobby, offers convenient grill fol
ladies and gentlemen. Further on i:

tions for three hundred people. Thi:

EMPLOYER IN EARNEST.

Honolulu, T. H., March 90, 1909.
Editor Advertiser:-I now see that
" Employer is in earnest; so am /. In
his second communication he has I'M
yelled himself as true economist or
the great dismal school. He would
make, l should say, a successful entire
preneur. to use elegant French, or a
captain of industry, to use vulgar Eng
lish. He is true child of his time.
When his hoe or his pillow or his en-
ploye wears out or becomes economical
" inefficient, he throws it or him aside.
Quite right from his standpoint. he
wastes nothing. When his OK wears
out he hardly throws him aside, but
turns him out to the brambles to get
a little tough meat on his weary bones
and sells him to the butcher. No waste
in I" Employer so vocabulary.
One of our prominent bankers says
that he can "run' this government at
one half the present expense and do
much better service. Would 1t not be
well for Governor Frear and all the
officials and teachers of the Territory
to abdicate their functions and let the
people OF the Territory farm out the
whole business to I" Employer" to
s.run'' things more efficiently at half
the expense and save one half the
money! Think of It'll Employer
would carry on the government efficient
" at one half the expense, and yet, per
haps, make one or two hundred thousand
dollars ayear for himself. He would work
his employees to the full extent on just
enough pay to keep up physical eff
cheney. If he be plantation manager,
he evidently does the same thing there,
What great scheme!
However, there is just one little rift
in the logic of :" Employer, and that
is that his employees might have enough
to keep up mere working power, but

taking care of one thousand guests.
Its entertainment features are so nu-
merous and so varied that, as has hap
pened many times, as many as six diff
ferent gatherings, including banquets,
balls and public meetings, can be held
under its roof at the same time, and
under such favorable conditions that
one assembly scarcely realizes there is
any other in the house.
Marvellous Outlook.
The view from the Fairmont is such
as to make the most blase and expe-
rienced globe-trotter stand in wonder
and amazement. From its windows ffor
every room in this magnificent hostelry
is an outside room) can be seen the
superb panorama of the Golden Gate,
the Bay Of San Francisco, crowded with
ships from all parts of the world, the
mountains and hills of Contra Costa
County on the other side of the bay,
with Mt. Diablo 80 miles to the south,
east, and Mt. st. Helena over a hundred
miles to the northeast breaking the
skyline In the immediate foreground
of the hotel lies the busy city, in which
new steel sky-scrapers are rising in
place of the old style business houses
which were destroyed.
In the Center of the City.
Chinatown, almost entirely rebuilt In
a new and better way, is but a few
minutes walk from the door of the
hotel. By means of the various street
car lines which pass it's doors all parts
of the city, the ferries and railroad
stations, the banks and exchanges, re
tail business and theater centers, as
well as the residence portions of the
city can be easily reached.
Unique Among the Worlds Hotels.

most any similar institution in the mum

for the entertainment of it's guests
Because of these, it is easily the socia
center of San Francisco; you NIGH

Hotel, which is now being rebuilt on &
new and greater scale at the old site
on Market street, was one of the mos

bay and the shipping. Then there is
the beautiful grey breakfast room,
which is particularly well adapted for
private dinners, luncheons and ban,
quets. In other parts of the same floor
are found the special tea and card
rooms set aside for the use of guests
who wish to entertain in a less formal
way. Then there are private dining
rooms, where organizations may meet
around a friendly board. On floor A
is found the crypt, one of the most

Epitome of Hotel Excellence.
The Fairmont, as it stands today, 10
the epitome of hotel excellence. The
vast experience which the Palace Hotel
Company had in the celebrated Palace
Hotel has been utilized in this house.
To Colonel John G. Kirkpatrick, General
Manager of the Palace Hotel Company,
was given the task of instilling into
brand new house the spirit of hos.
pitality which made the old Palace Ho-
tel celebrated in two hemispheres. How
well he has succeeded in doing this 10
evident the moment one enters the
doors of the Fairmont. For the Palace
Hotel spirit of hospitality enfolds one
like garment, making his visit one
of delight, his leave-taking one of re-
: greet, and his memory of the time so
spent one of great pleasure.
Only hotel in the world in which
every room has a bath.
The Fairmont Hotel offers to the
traveller all the conveniences and luxu-
ries known TO the best modern hotel,
| together with many exclusive features,
some Of which we have spoken of above.
Every room in the entire hotel has q

it would be manifestly impossible for
our teachers, stenographers, clerks,
plantation hands, and so forth, and so
forth, to rear families. and the next
generation of employers would have
none of these human workers to wear

haps Employs" would say, what

Honolulu, T. H., March %, 1909.
Editor Advertiser: None is so blind
as he who will not see Our most re-
cent Ex-Governor, Hon. George R. Car
ter, quotes an eminent but unknown
Colonel in regard to the sad condition
of small farming in the great State of
Georgia.
Permit me to submit in rebuttal
some statements made by Hon. Au-
gustus o. Bacon, United States Sena-
tor from Georgia, in The Sun, news
paper published in the village of New
York, under date of March Z, 1909:
''The value of the agricultural and
horticultural products in Georgia last
year which were accessible for easy
computation was not far from $780,
kQo0,0 900, which, if there were included
:all that portion which went into do
nestle or home consumption, the
amount would doubtless be increased
bv so per cent. Twenty-Five years be-
fore that time the value of all farm
products in the State was only $67,-
100000. The cotton crop of 1907-0S in
the State was 1864, 900 bales, a money
crop which sold for about 100000, 900
dollars, an amount greater than the
annual product of all of the gold mines
in the whole of the United States
- From a practical standpoint it is
on interesting question, Does farming
pay in Georgia. Numerous facts could
be given in affirmative answer of the
question. Here is case by way of IL
lustration: Last year j. A. J. Hender-
son produced on 504 acres of land near
Cecilia, Ca, the following: 431 bales of
cotton, the bales averaging over 500
pounds each; $500 bushels of corn, 1000
bales of hay, 1000 bushels of potatoes
and enough peanuts in the cornfelds to
fatten one hundred hogs. Of course,
this was accomplished under the most
favorable conditions and by the most
slxilful, intensive system Of farming.
tsBut it illustrates the possibilities
of farming in the State. Furthermore,
this large product from SO small an
area furnishes significant reply to
the recently published prediction of
james J. Hill that within fifty years
the agricultural product of the United
States would be insufficient to feed the
population which may be then expect
ed to be within our borders.
Truck Farming Success.
s'Truck farming is conducted very
successfully in Georgia, and the posi-
bilities in this industry are very great.

purposes in this Territory are found
to be: Average for the last biennial
period (1907-190s), $227S; average for
the last five years (1904190s), $23.68.
The amounts expended for the same
purposes per capita of total population
are found to be as follows:

Iowa, $4.85; Nebraska, $500; Colorado,

Long ago the Scotch learned this.

The sturdy old Scotchman must be
amused at the recent "discoveries" that
oatmeal is the best food in the world.
Our scientific men have been making
experiments which prove that Ameri-
cans eat too much fat and grease and
not enough cereals.
The Scotchmen say: Look at our
nation as proof The sturdiest nation
on earth" Still we have one good point
TO make. We make better oatmeal than
the Scotch.
They buy Quaker Oats and consider
il the leader of all oatmeals to be had
anywhere. If you are convenient to
the store you'll probably buy the
regular size package For those who
live in the country the large size family
package is more satisfactory. Follow
the example of the Scotch; eat Quake'
Oats breakfast every day.

taste for the beautiful in poetry. He
was constant reader, wise coun-
sellor and faithful Latter-day Saint.

flowers woven into quaint designs. The
pail bearers were Mitchell Beck, Bruce
Jones, Arthur Johnson, James Chestly,
Carl Olsen and Spencer Beck, all rela-
