Honolulu Prosperity Seen Through Seattle Officers Visits
Lieut. Edward H. F. Wolters of the Hawaiian national guard and family linger in Seattle guesting at the Occidental hotel before returning by Oakland and San Francisco. He notes island prosperity driven by sugar profits and booming construction while hinting at a future Seattle trade venture tied to mechanical enterprise. Wolters, a prominent island figure, says his company upholds honor and security with strong local backing, as Honolulu expands and wages rise.
