viii Boost Two Islands
Mr.. Halton reported on his trip to
Maui aud Hawaii and was charmed
with the prospects. Lis visit to Puma
nnd the Konas was probably the most
Interesting part Of the trip although
he was enthusiastic over all the seen
cry that he encountered. @ g..
His plan TO have tourists see more
Of Hilo than they do was touched upon
and was liked by the Hilo folk. AS it
Is now passengers from the steamers
land ut HilO, go immediately to the
Volcano and then return from the
mountain Just about in time to catch
the steamer again. The new plan is to
show tourists around the city and viz
Unity Of the Crescent City, taking
them out on the Hamakua railroad and
back ~ Hilo In time for lunch and for
a ride around town; then to the Vol
cano and after a night there back to
Hilo TO see some more of the beauties
Of the place.
In closing his report Mr.. Halton
said: al found that get together spir'
il which Is so essential to attract the
tourist, In Hawaii and Mani as wen as
here on Oahu. All the interests that
have ANYTHING to gain from the touri
ist trade are unselfshly boosting the
Islands rs whole, knowing that the
more ground the tourist covers the more
friends he will induce to follow in his
footsteps. -
