TO be viewed as an enthusiastic adj
mirer OF your Territory, and its rep

lively appreciation of your limitless
drawing power for tourists.
I st shall not attempt to more than
mention the marvellous beauty of your
Honolulu, nor the many points Of his

the island of Oahu. which have en-

Southern California has a most be.
Eignant climate, its greatest asset
Los Angeles, its metropolis,Sis q very
beautiful city and the center Of a sec
ton in Southern California which is
most attractive scenically to visitors,
owing to the gorgeous flowers and
shrubbery and with which the city

Lowe, a snow-capped mountain, with
IT'S cog-road to the summit, Is at Pasa-
dena, only ten miles distant.
Several smaller cities, such as Pas
adena, Redlands, Riverside, San Di-
ego, and Santa Barbara, are located
within few hours ride of Los An
geles, one or two of these cities offer
ing more attractions to the tourist
than Los Angeles ITSELF
However, Los Angeles boosts South
.ern California abroad to strengthen
its own drawing power and bring In
tourists from all parts Of the United
States and even from foreign coun-
tries, with the obvious result that, as
the metropolis of its little empire,
she has grown apace to enyious pro

given climate. fruit, flowers, bathing
beaches and the Hike. but by co-opera-

Intermittent about the boosting in Los
Angeles. 1t is constant perennial.
The hammer was buried long since in
Los Angeles. It's clang has been for

Here in Honolulu you have all and
more than Los Angeles can offer in
climatic and other natural advan-
tages previously named. added to
which might be mentioned the gor.
geous beauty of your tropical trees,
shrubs and plants and the numerous
objects of historic interest, likewise
that allpervading atmosphere of re-

and hold the malihini in its grasp.
Our trip to Hilo was to me start

tertained the remotest suspicion that
the island of Hawaii contained within
tits boundaries so much of marvellous
beauty and wonderful interest. To me
the volcano Though a worlds wonder
of awful GRANDEUR is but the crown
ing feature of Hawaii's list of marvel
Gus attractions.
Your islands contain other wonder
full attractions too numerous to men
ton, such as Haleakala, the larg-
Test extinct crater in the world, and the
Garden Island of Kauai

the Ad Club. He was right.
"Ten the people in the states what
you have and make them hear and
