Helping! the
Tourist to
Enjoy Maui
Subject of Luncheon Meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce George
Webb Says Pleasant Things About
Maui and Makes Good Suggestions

From start to finish the Chamber
Of Commerce luncheon on Thursday
afternoon was a tourist boosting pro-
position. No other business was con
sidered from the reading of several
letters on the subject to the address o!
George Webb, of he Players AIl-star
Company, which concluded the inter
esting affair. The lunch was held in
the Maui Hotel, and there were fifty
members and visitors present
Palmer p. Wood, who is negotiat-
ing with the Hilo Board of Trade to
represent Hawaii County in Honolulu
as agent, wrote to President Frank
Baldwin offering his services for Maui
in the same capacity. The letter was
referred to w. o. Aiken and w. H..
Field for consideration.
A. H. Ford wrote the Chamber ask
ing that rest houses and guide posts
be put in Haleakala crater, the Kaupo
trail to be improved, and a dozen or
more mules provided by the county
with pasture for same near Olinda,
for use of tourists going up the
mountain. This letter was referred
to the Haleakala rest house commit
tee.
The Hawaii Promotion Committee,
through its acting secretary, A. P.
Taylor, wrote for information concern
ing the Haleakala and other trips. w.
o. Aiken was certain that the pro-
motion committee has very full data
on the points mentioned. R. A. Wads-
| worth thought that some agency or
person, not financially interested
should be appointed to help the tour
lists who arrive here. On motion of
Mr.. Lufkin a committee consisting of
Mr.. Lufkin, Will. J. Cooper, and L..
Won Tempsky was appointed TO
gather data in form of questions and
answers, which shall be submitted to
the Chamber at its next meeting for
approval, and afterwards printed for
distribution.
D. H. Case stated that he had Of
fered his services to the promotion
committee to give information to Wis
itors who may be directed to him.
George Webb, the guest of honor
at the luncheon, in a pleasant and eX-
ceedingly complimentary little ad-
dress, emphasized the Importance of
advertising. He believed in the plan
of having a representative in Homo
lulu. He urged that a schedule of
rates be established for horses, autos,
and hotels, which shall be plainly an
nounced, and then strictly enforced.
Fluctuating prices, he declared, hurt
any such undertaking by creating
soreness and suspicion of unfairness
Mr.. Wbeb was flattering in his ref
erences to MS personal experiences in
his three professional visits TO Maui,
but he declared that his experience
had beer that Maui or its attractions
are not known to the tourist.

DECIDES BLAIR
HAS NO CONTRACT
1EGRo ODD FELLOWS AND MA.
SONS WOULD CLEAN UP Ar.
FAIRS ON EAST EIGHTH.

Esq. Hugh Lee Webster this morn
ng held that julius Blair had no
contract with the colored Odd Eel
lows and Masons for a hall for the
coming year, and rendered judgment
for $12 for rent in favor of the latter
as against Blair.
The basis of the suit, which was
hotly argued before Esq. Webster
late Saturday afternoon was the ques-
tion of whether Blair had a contract
for the pool room for the next twelve
months. Blair claimed that he had an
oral contract, while the trustees Of
the two lodges disputed this claim.
They wanted to forbid him using the
room as a pool room. They testified
that Blair had made a good tenant,
but were opposed to his using the
room as a pool room, where the rough
elements of the city would congregate
and have trouble. In short it is the
intention of the trustees of the two
lodges, SO it is alleged, to clean out
he source of the trouble and the
difficulties which have arisen there in
the past, and to make 1t law-abid-
ing and respectable place.

statute to establish a state highway
commission was considered and ap-
proved, legislative committee was
selected and the bill will be intro
duced in the general assembly in a
sort time.

gates in the meeting and it was pro-
nounced the most representative gath
cry OF its character in the history Of
the goods roads movement In the
state, ~
The meeting was held in the assem-.
bly, room of the Commercial Club in
the Stahlman building and was pre-
sided over by William e. Myer, of Car
thage, president of the state associa-
ton.
The report of the committee on res
olutions was to the effect that the

tioRal Highways Association and Sc
cure the services of 2. D. Dunlap for
work in the preliminary organization.

Iperience and reports from other
states and from Tennessee counties,

Examination and subsequent approx
al of the United States good roads

one dissenting vote, w. e. McElwee,
of Roane county.
