The Rev. Mr. Burfingame has just

that he has been away. The Baptist

They receive a thorough course of
religious instruction in the schools
and seem to be imbued with a deep
religious feeling. All the denomina-

SAY HAWAII IS
SURE PARADISE
Surf Bathing Popular and the
Limit of MiIIionaireS to
the Square Inch

Voluntary boosters for Hawaii are
heard from all over the world. Note
the following in the Vancouver Times
Advertiser of June 30:
MONTREAL, June 27.-Mr. w. D..
McCallum of this city, having spent
four years in Honolulu, has returned
full of praise of the island. The is
lands are indeed the Paradise of the
Pacific" he said. Zone could hardly
conceive of a more beautiful place.
The temperature rarely exceeds
eighty-six degrees, and | never knew
it to go below sixty-five degrees. The
surf bathing is, fine every month in
the year, and the lowest temperature
I ever found the water at was seventy
four degrees. As result the people

verandahs with which every house is
surrounded
What is the population of the
islands,"
aThere are about $4,000 white peo-
pie, 10000 Japanese, $4,000 Chinese
and $4,000 natives. Mexicans and
other people These are nearly all
engaged in the production of sugar
and the growth of tropical fruits. Last
year the four large islands produced
sos, GOO, 900 of sugar, nearly $4,000, 900
of pineapples. and $7,000,0 900 of bana-
mas. A new industry, the production
of copra from the cocoanut, is just
in its infancy, but it will become
great one later"
Continuing Mr.. McCallum said there.
were more millionaires in Honolulu
than in any city in the United States.
1.-THE natives are very fond of music
and sports and every evening they
crowd their verandahs and sing and
dance. They are very friendly at all
times. In the language they have but
twelve letters
Speaking of the country. Mr.. Nc
Callum said that although the islands
were set in the heart of the Pacific
Ocean, the clearest fresh water could
be obtained anywhere at a depth of
900 feet. In many places the wells
were ''gushers," spouting thirty feet
into the air. This added to the al
ready great attractions of the Para
disc of the Pacific" and as result
of tourists were flocking
there each season from the ends of
the earth.

Scarcity Of Labor.s
The country is rapidly developing
but not as swiftly as 1t might owing
to the scarcity of labor. Australia

tracts of land which are fertile but
require water. There is lot of land
that is not barren and is yet unopen.

Immigrants are coming in rapidly,
every so often an immigrant ship
comes in from Great Britain with thou
sands of immigrants. White immi-
grants are wanted and for the pur-
pose of increasing the tide of 0esir-
able immigration agencies are being
es tablished throughout the United
States and Canada in an effort to get
our people from us.
Orientals, Spanish and Russians are
not sought after so much. the desire
being to develop the country and. yet
to keep it Anglicized. Chinese ana
japanese are not permitted to settle;
there being a prohibition poll-tax of
100 pounds a head which keeps the
coolies out and as the Orientals are
not allowed to open establishments
and engage in business, the more pros
porous ones are kept away.
Australia Fears Japan.
Australia is in mortal terror of Ja-
pan. think that is one Of the rea-
sons that they cling so closely to the
mother-country ano that there is not
more of movement for an Austria
ian republic. If they keep to Eng
land, thew are safe from Japanese

they are building two dreadnoughts a
year and have made military service
for youths.

Germany is also feared because they
