Professor Brun says in letter to
Promotion Committee "The volcano
Kilauca is not sufficient to retain tou.
rists in Hawaii There must be some.
thing else or the Pacific's Paradise
sustain not his name"
The letter from Professor Brun and
enc in rep,y sent to Promotion Com.
mittCo by william Mckay Of Hilo
Board of Trade answering the com.
plant which was forwarded to Hilo,
follow:
Honorable Sir must tell TO you
that am not satisfied with the organ.
izatiOn In HilO After your pamphlet
and your letter had believed that Il
was easy to organize some trips In Ha.
wall. tell to you that | have lost one
week teXactly eight days. without be
able to get guide for Mauna Loa.
AFTER days telephone and official
trip from Kilauea House to Hilo. was
arranged with the Volcano Stables
that ! could have the guide for Mon.
day. At that day nobody is coming.
In respite. ask horses to go to Don.
Ohio. where Is trail from Hilo The
Volcano Stables refuse. having no
guide. II is very astonishing. After
your pamphlet the lowlands are quite
Civili2atcd-it seems not to he the
case. You sand numerous horse
trails
al last the guide Is coming today.
II was too late because my time was
over. You must understand that a
TOURIST which travels between two
steamers reckon ON time. | had said
time but could not lose one week!
To gain peace ! offer two dollars to
the guide. He would have Ave.
give him three, but | say to your hon.
orab,c committee. II you wish to have
and retain some tourists these things
must he better organized. For me AZ
tourist | can reckon: One week lost,
three dollars spent Tor nothing and
unsatisfed
The Volcano Stables Is very angry
against me and nobody Is satisfied.
Such things are very disagreeable and
II Is the lack of organization and a
too strong pamphlet which is not sus.
tanned.
THE volcano Kilauea Is not sufli.
Client to retain tourists in Hawaii
There must he something else or the
. PaciRc's Paradise sustain not his
, name"
Mr. Moses, who Is at present man.
| aging the Volcano Stables, got two
mules. one for the professor to ride,
| and one for pack animal. the guide
furnishing his own animal These
; mules had to have specially heavy
/. shoes and an extra set of shoes made
| for each mule, to carry on the trip.
. arrived in Hilo Wednesday morning
and then II was found that Prof. Brun
| had expected to make the trip be-
/ tween Tuesday and Friday morning,
when the Mauna Kea sailed, a mani.
. fest absurdity. No attempt was made
to have the professor pay for the
work Of preparation and he was only
4 asked to pay the guide his charge OF
= ST.. This he refused to do. When yor
think that this guide had to come
down from Puuoo for the purpose Of
7 making this mountain trip, had left
his animal at Glenwood and come
down by the train, paying HIS fare;
and was away from his regular work,
II does not look as IL IS was too much,
However. the professor refused to pay
more than SO and this the guide would
, not take. To settle II Mr.. Moses gave
the guide 81 out of his own pocket
'The guide says that he will
take the haole up the mountain for
nothing next times he comes-but he
will never bring him back
ITO conclude. there Is nothing In
, the trip. to Mauna Loa that need deter
any one with bent that way, from
taking IT, But, the trip cannot be
arranged in five minutes. 1t takes
time to get things into line and
guides are not on tap at any old
time. Men who are qualified to act
as guides are making their living NJ
, on the mountain on the different
! ranches, and arrangements have to be
made with their employers before they
can he had"
