trains daily. There are two motor routes, one by 
way of the Pali, and the other between the Koolan 
and AVaianae mountain ranges, via Schofield Bar¬ 
racks. The hotel is up-to-date in all things. The 
sea bathing is good and golf links and tennis 
courts add to the opportunities of recreation. 
Glass-bottomed boats ride the charming little 
river, taking passengers to the submarine gar¬ 
dens. 
Prom Haleiwa, in the AVaialua district, tire 
homeward route lies through immense areas of 
sugar cane and pineapples, and by way of Scho¬ 
field Barracks, largest military post of western 
departments, lying at the foot of Kaala, Oahu’s 
highest mountain. 
And so the “round-the-island” passenger comes 
to Pearl Harbor, the location of the greatest naval 
station under the Stars and Stripes. Between 
Pearl Lochs and Honolulu lie more sugar lands 
and the much-frequented M-oanalua Gardens. The 
traveler is in the city again after a run of about 
85 miles with comfortable stops for sight-seeing 
and luncheon. 
RAILROADS OF OAHU 
The Oahu Railway & Land Company’s main 
line, starting at Honolulu, skirts the south, west 
and northwest coasts of Oahu, terminating at Ka- 
huku, the most northern point of the island, a dis¬ 
tance of 71 miles. A branch from Waipahu, 
where there is a large sugar mill, extends 11 miles 
up the valley to AVahiawa, the center of the pine¬ 
apple district, with a spur to Schofield Barracks. 
Prom Honolulu the road touches the Moanalua 
Gardens, passes through fields of rice and sugar 
cane, runs along the shore of Pearl Harbor, 
through fields of sisal and into more sugar cane. 
Cliffs of the AVaianae range overtop the sea 
on the western coast, along a considerable stretch 
of which the railroad runs on a bed blasted from 
the solid rock. At Kaena Point the track turns 
abruptly to the east, into the grassy plain of AVai¬ 
alua, where there are a number of cattle ranches. 
Continuing along the coast, which uoav runs north¬ 
east, the train skirts the AVaialua sugar plantation, 
beyond which is Haleiwa hotel, then AVaimea and 
Kaliuku. 
From Kaliuku the Koolau Railway runs 11 
miles to Kaliana Bay, the Hauula hotel being at 
the six-mile station. It skirts the Koolau moun¬ 
tains for a pretty stretch where deep valleys and 
high waterfalls abound. All trains connect with 
trains of the Oahu Railway & Land Company. 
It is due to the railroad development of Oahu 
that the island is able to boast the “banner” sugar 
plantations of the Territory. 
BISHOP MUSEUM, HONOLULU 
The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum at Hono¬ 
lulu, world’s headquarters for Hawaiian and Poly¬ 
nesian antiquities and ethnology, is in the grounds 
of the Kamehameha schools, in the northern sec¬ 
tion of the city, easily reached by rapid-transit 
car. It was founded in 1889 by Charles Reed 
Bishop in memory of his wife, Princess Pauahi, 
great-grandaughter of Kalaniopuu, king of the 
Island of Hawaii at the time of the visit of Cap¬ 
tain Cook, the discoverer, and descendant of 
Kamehameha the Great, who consolidated the isl¬ 
ands into one kingdom. 
Educated at the Royal School which was es¬ 
tablished by American missionaries at the request 
of Kamehameha II, at an early age Princess 
Pauahi married Charles Reed Bishop of Hew 
York. Dying in 1884, after a life of usefulness 
and devotion to her people, she left a large estate 
to establish schools for Hawaiian youth. The 
original endowment of the museum consisted of 
the valley of AVaipio, Hawaii Island, the home of 
Kamehameha. The museum has been enlarged 
from time to time. Its development has been 
rapid, and thorough and systematic explorations 
now under way in Pacific island groups are add¬ 
ing to the store of treasure which attracts scien¬ 
tists from all the world. 
The nucleus of the collection of the Bishop 
Museum was bequeathed to Princess Pauahi from 
the Kamehamehas and consisted largely of kapa 
(tapa), mats, calabashes, feather work, ornaments 
and relics, now invaluable. The ancient life of 
Hawaii is eloquently illustrated in a most com¬ 
plete collection of specimens. 
One of the museum’s exhibits is a Hawaiian 
grass house of the old days, around which are 
shown articles of general domestic use. Another 
is a model of the last heiau (AVahaula) to main¬ 
tain the worship of the ancient gods. This model 
is 15 feet square. Another model, also 15 feet 
square, is that of Kilauea crater. The museum’s 
main structure is built of gray basalt, quarried 
nearby, the interior being finished in choice island 
wools. 
Three and a half miles from Honolulu, reached 
by electric car or automobile, lies beautiful AVaL 
ldki beach, where every day of the year bathers 
and swimmers revel in the summery waives, and 
where surfboards and Hawaiian outrigger canoes 
are ever in evidence. A great deal of skill is re¬ 
quired to properly ride a surfboard, and between 
the feats of the experts and the antics of beginners 
the spectator may count on no small entertainment. 
It is distinctively a Hawaiian sport. The surf¬ 
board rider swims out with his board and then, 
after some hard paddling, is carried swiftly 
shoreward on the crest of a wave, standing erect 
on his board. Skillful Hawaiian paddlers guide 
the outrigger canoes. 
The temperature of the water at AVaikiki is 
close to 78 degrees the year round. The distant 
barrier of the coral reef entirely protects the 
beach and lagoon from the intrusion of sharks. 
The Moan a and Seaside hotels are directly on 
the beach, and within easy reach are numerous 
other hotels, hotel cottages, and apartments.
