We salted from Honolulu at 10 a. a*., with regrets at leaving this land of perpetual summer, Its wonderful surf bathing, Its beautiful flowers, its dreamy Hawaiian serenades; and with deep appreciation of the hospitality of the acqualntnnres we have made on the islands. Steamer day Is an Institution at Honolulu that does not grow old or couimouplace. Incoming boats are met by hordes of friends to greet the voy agers with leto made of flowers and yellow and green paper, while a na tive baud plays the Hawaiian songs, interspersed with our own popular airs. The departure of the guests to likewise made pleasant with the same program. The streets surrounding the piers are lined with women cell ing lels, and they do a thriving busi ness. In fact, few toate on the boats without being smothered with leto made of various kinds of flowers and leaves, while the colored paper .ones may be kept as souvenirs after the flowers have withered. It is also the custom aa the boat slowly leaves the pier for the passengers to throw back to the friends on shore one or more of the leto- Tears of gratefulness or sorrow may be seen glistening In many eyes at the parting--sorrow at the severing of ties of' companionship and separation of dear ones, or the overflowing of the fulneks ef the heart of the stranger when newly made acquaintances come to give theth Godspeed with offerings of flow ers. We deeply appreciated the court esy of H. L, Kelly In driving ue to the pier In hto car, hanging the leto around our necks at parting. Mr. and Mrs. Amos Benson, who sre spending three months at Honolulu, were also at the pier and added to our collec tion of leto. We left the harbor in line weather, with a fair breeae blowing and sonny skies, while the native boys surround* ed the boat and dived for coins. We lingered on deck, getting a last look at the green bills, with Waikiki soon fading in the distance. Rounding Dia mond Head we changed course and swung to the northeast around Koko Head, with its powerful wireless towers and the lighthouse at Makapu Point in plain view. The faint out- Unea of Molokai, about 25 miles away, were visible for a couple of hours and then the mountains of Oahu faded also and we were alone on the vast Pacific. Saturday morning at breakfast time we were half way over and passed the Maui, the sister ship that runs oppos ite to the Matsoato. We left the dining saloon to wave greetings an the boats passed almost within speak ing distance. ' 1 We have encountered *tlff head winds all the way over and there has been more sickness than usual, al- the boat to loaded to full capacity with cougar, pineapples and bananas and does not roll very badly. Mrs. Moe and I have been among the suf ferers, so have not enjoyed the trip so far, but have been fairly regular attendants at meal time. The crowd seems more sociable than on the way over. Tuesday morning we were routed »rly breakfast, so there out for an earl delay In quarantine ln- would be ns L. spectlon and the final arrangements for leaving the ship. We sighted the Farralone Islands before 7 o’clock and the rugged cliffs of the mainland made a dim outline beyond. The day was clear and the sun added a cheer to the bracing atmosphere. Inspection of baggage for plants and seed that might carry the Med iterranean fly to very rigid, as this pest to prevalent on the Islands and the most dangerous to fruit and vege tables of any known. Should It get a footbold in California it would practically wipe out the fruit indus try, aa well as some of the vegetables. We have to make a declaration as to what fruits, seeds or plants we have in our baggage, besides having the baggage searched. An old Scotch man aboard being naked by the in spector what be had in a small pack age said: “I have two lumps of sugar for my coffee and two for m,v tea." The exasperated officer hit him a coupte of rape over the head with hto suck and Mid: "And here are two lumps for your coco." We dock at 10 a. m. and will leave today for the south by way of Santo Crus. ________ Honolulu as a tourist resort has pos sibilities only limited by the facilities and comforts of the ocean voyage of 2080 to 2350 miles from the mainland, depending upon the port of departure. To the majority it has an appeal that Is greater than any of the resorts of California or Florida. Yet, some ob ject to the warm wMther, with much more humidity than California. To ua the climate teemed Ideal, white the tropical setting added a charm not to t>e found in any place on the main land. It is different In many ways. There is' very little variation In the temperature from day to day. The prevailing winds are the northMst trades that blow across the island*, coming from the cooler expanse of waters and tempered just right by the time Hawaii is reached. These winds bring the clouds that strike the high mountain (teaks and are condensed into rain, an almost dally occurrence at certain elevations, but falling mod erately along the coast line. There were but few showers in Honolulu during our stay, at the beach, al though very frequent at the head of the valleys In the foothills. The tourist bureau maintains a very efficient organiMtion and keeps open house during business hours, for tour ists. furnishing literature and infor mation. Twice a week stcreopticon views and moving pictures are shown of the principal points of Interest In the Islands. I*aat year over 12,000 tourists were registered, mostly of the wealthy class. Several high class hotels furnish accommodations at 15 to 120 a day, and the best of these are not good enough for many of the visitors, and a movement ia on foot to build a hostelry In the class of the de luxe establishments on the main land. Only one golf course In Hono lulu is a disappointment to many, as It has become overcrowded. Land for another golf course to very hard to obtain, as the narrow atrip of land from the foothills to the beach to being built up solid as a residence section, except quite a few large es tates occupying plots of an acre or more in extent, walled in by toll flowering hedges, and which are not for Mie.

They are gradually becoming lees in numbers. Honolulu, with a population of 100,- 000, probably baa no more than 20,000 whites. The younger generation of Japanese growing up, who have be come American citisens by reason of birth under our Flag, will be In con trol of the ballot. In fact, with the natives and FlUplnoa, the whites are now outnumbered at the polla. The legislature and county offices are now in control of the natiyft, but business interests still exert an influence for the good of the commonwealth.

The younger Japanese who have been educated in the schools are show ing every indication of becoming good American citisens and severing the ties of the land of their fathers.
