Letters From
the People

Editor Advertiser:-In your account
in Sundays paper of the meeting of
the Hawaiian Evangelical Society, the
Rev. DIR. Baker, of Kona, is represented
as saying that he had no one to help
him, because "every other white per
son in the district was an Englishman
and an unnaturalized Englishman at
that
If DIR. Baker really said this, then he
displayed a remarkable lack of knowl
edge of the real condition OF affairs.
The facts are these: Among the white
men in the district of Kona who are of
American birth are E. E. Conant, Jared
Smith, Chas. R. Blacow, j. D. Acker-
man, W. M. MeQuaid, Guy Maydwell,
F. NJ. Scott, L. Aungst, DR.. Goodhue,
Judge Matthewman, T. C. Driver, and
his son, Thomas Driver. In addition
to these, r. Wassman is an American
citizen, but I do not know whether he
is SO by birth or by naturalization.
John D. Paris was born in Kona of
American parents.
In addition to these, there are num-
Der of Hawaiian-born white people who
are American citizens, doing their duty
on juries, etc. Of these may be men
toned w. I'll. Greenwich, Frank Green
well, Arthur Greenwich, Walter Aeker-
man, r. Hind, and Thos. White.
Among the people of British birth
who are naturalized are the Rev. D. d.
Wallace, L. McFarlane and F. W. Les
lie and R. V. Woods. Of the British
people who are not naturalized, we can
| only recall Robert Wallace, E. III. Ed
wards and o. Meyall.
With few exceptions those mentioned
who go to any place of worship are
associated with Christ Church, Kona,
and they or their families are members
| of it. D. DOUGLAS WALLACE.

Three years ago, when the fire was rag

about 1T, to many it seemed that the
last hope was gone. At that time the
Fairmont Hotel was just about to open.
Three years of time, and more than
three millions of dollars had been spent
in the construction of the building and
the fnishings and furnishings of its in
terror. How well the building was con-
structed is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial of both
fire and its Accomplishments without a
single injury other than the complete
destruction of everything 1nfiammable
to be found inside of its walls.
After the reaction of the first month

niture, and the magnificent appoint
ments of the house as it stands today
speak well for the care and taste used
IN the selection. The formal opening
of the hotel to the public took place Oh
the 18th of April, 1907, just one year
after the catastrophe, at which time the
Chamber of Commerce gave a banquet
in celebration of the event. On the
21st of April, 1907, the doors were
thrown open to the public with splen

to the energy and determination of be-
| citizens.

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

are found the special tea and card

Epitome of Hotel Excellence. :
The Fairmont, as it stands today, is
| 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
| a brand new house the spirit of hos
pitality which made the old Palace He-
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 a garment, making his visit one
of delight, his leave-taking one of re-
greet, and his memory of the time 90
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 convenienees and luxu
ries known to toe best modern hotel
| together with many exclusive features
some of which we have spoken of above
Every room in the entire hotel has .
bath attached. For $3.50 one may thus
enjoy pleasant room, beautifully fun
nished in mahogany, with a dainty
white-tiled bath; or, for as low as ter
dollars, a suite Of rooms. Visitors Il

Unequaled Entertainment Features.

UnequaIed Entertainment Features.
The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest, in existence. 1t has
one of the few spring floors to be found
in the country, making dancing pecu-
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-
lions by the most famous mural artists
of the world. And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Franclseans
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 dlstln-
guished company than any other room
of its kind west of Chicago. On the
! floor below is the magnificent Norman
| Cafe banquet room, a hall of superb
| proportions and simple grandeur. 1t is
/ the best illustration of a hall of the
Norman period. Even the tesselated
| floor is made of special design, 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,
Upon special occasions of large enter
tainment, the terrace is canvassed 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 Laurie
Court, which is Immediately behind the
lobby, offers convenient grill fol
ladies and gentlemen. Further on il

tons for three hundred people. This
room is done in white and gold witt

now publicly known, as title to them
passed in the name of a corporation
with which Mr.. Hartman was not
known to have been connected. For
reasons of their own members of the
family do not care at this time to re-
veal the holdings. This information,
however. will necessarily be made pub
lie with the appraisal of the estate.
There are now under actual cultiva-
ton at Arden approximately 5000
acres. The bulk of the huge farm is
waste land. Most of this. or about
1900 acres, will be donated by Mrs.
Hartman, as was the wish of her hus-
band. to the state Of New York for a
great public park.
Park Lands Heavily Wooded.
These acres are heavily wooded and
contain several lakes of marked nat
ural beauty. This Will leave Miss
Mary Hartman at Arden alone a farm
of $4,000 acres to care for. Altogether
she will have supervision Of a farm of
$4,000 acres.
Already she has taken hold of the
task with characteristic Hartman en-
ergy and skill. She is directing per-
sonally the unfinished work OF road
making. the terracing of hills. land
scape gardening. ETC., just as had been
planned by herself and father Jointly.
In a smart trap drawn by high step
ping cob she daily drives over the
farm, giving instruction in detail to the
foremen of nearly 400 men now at
work.

rived from $50 registered cows. The
butter is sold every day in bulk in
New York city under contracts.
Never Cared Much For Soeisty.
On the 5000 acres now under cult.
walton a variety of crops are raised.
The principal ones are corn, oats,
wheat and rye. Considerable truck
gardening is done, too, onions being a
speciality of this branch of the Arden
