Island Trips. l am afraid that most
OF the gentlemen present In this con-
vention, have already experienced the
pleasures and displeasures Of an Inter
Island trip and may therefore discredit
anything I may say upon the subject
However, win attempt to say few
words on the topic assigned me. but
as ! am not q public speaker i will
crave your Indulgence to overlook any
failure on my part TO interest YOU
As you all know, the most adver-
Used and the best known inter-island
trip Is the one to the island Of Ha
vail and the volcano of KilaueA For
ever thirty years past, the steamers
operated by the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company have taken pas
sengers from Honolulu and other ISL
and ports, 70 see this world renowned
volcano. and / think am correct In
saying that 80 per cent Of those who
have made this trip have expressed
themselves as being more than salts
fled and repaid by what they saw.
not only Of the volcano itself. but Of
the beautiful scenery along the Ha.
makua- FIil0 coast and the wonderful
ferns and tropical foliage along the
railroad and auto drive between Hilo
and the Volcano House. Even when
the volcano itself Is dormant and
there Is nothing to be seen at the
pit, the other sights, such as the
fern forest, sulphur banks, three
mou1ds, Kilauea Xxi and the six cra-
tiers. amply repays one for the trip
he has undertaken. in addition. the
railroad trip from Hilo to Paauilo.
along the Hamakna coast. now adds
greatly to the enjoyment Of the tray-
eler.
People Are Awakening
A popular route to the volcano Is
by the way Of Kailua, which port Is
reached early the following morning
after leaving Honolulu. The ride over
land from Kailua through the great
coffee district of Kona, thence across
the lava flows to Waiohinu IS very
instructive and interesting From
Waiohinu the trip is continued through
the Kau district to the Volcano house,
which Is reached the same afternoon.
Recently. the people of Hawaii. and
Hilo In particular, have awakened TO
the possibilities Of the big island as
tourist attraction. are proceeding
to advertise its wonders extensively
and 1t can safely be said that numer.
Gus other attractions besides those
mentioned, will soon be available to
tourists and others.
Second to the volcano trip Is the
one known as the Haieakala trip, and
here, on the island of Maui. the
worlds greatest extinct crater, Hale
akala, Is to be seen. The trip to the
summit Of Haleakala- can now be cas-
lily made. all arrangements for the
comfort of the traveller from the time
he lands on Maui until he departs
from that island being ID the hands
