REPORT ON HILO
FAVORS CALL BY
LINER CLEVELAND
That Hilo should by all means be included hereafter in the itinerary of the Cleveland is the report which has been cabled to the directors of the Hamburg-American Steamship Company by I. Weickum, a member of the tourist bureau of that company who is at present in Honolulu investigating the advisability of making Hilo one of the ports of call of the world-touring liner.
Mr. Weickum has returned from a visit to the Crescent City, where he went to look into the matter of handling the large crowd which the Cleveland carries in case that Hilo was named as a port of call. His report to his company is very favorable and speaks well for the Volcano of Kilauea as a great attraction from the tourist standpoint. Roads and hotel accommodations Mr. Weickum found to be ideal, and in his written report to the company, which will be made later, these things will be mentioned.
"One thing that will have to be done with regard to roads," said Mr. Weickum yesterday, "is to make the trail to the crater able to be relied upon for the safety of the tourists. I have heard that in some places it is not very safe, but no doubt this defect could be remedied. My report was a very favorable one, and I am sure that the matter will be taken up by the board at once."
