in receipt of many interesting COM
munications from its agents, Cooks
Tourist Agencies and Hawaiian
Consuls, abroad.
F. G. Eyton Walker the agent in
Japan reports a large interest de-
veloping regarding the Islands. He
is having bound the large photo
gravures from Vistas of Hawaii, T"
which have been beautifully colored
by Japanese colorists, and they are
being placed in the hotels, public
offices and houses in Yokohama

also being made, which will be
used by the Bureau in furnishing
to those parties travelling through
the world with lantern exhibitions.
In addition, the lately issued "Par-
adise and Inferno" is being distrib-
uted in principal places in Japan
and Hongkong.
Mr.. Walker reports a serious dis
ease affecting Japanese cattle, and
makes suggestion that our cattle
men would do well to look into the
business of exporting cattle to the
Japanese market. With the new
arrangements of the Pacific Mail
and o. e o. S. S. companies yes

Der of tourists travelling by the
Oriental route to America and Chi
cago.

the receipt of ''the very beautiful
supply of advertising matter" that
a friend of his thought so much of
the photographers that he made
lantern slides of most of them and
is now showing them throughout
New Zealand in a lecturing tour
which he has undertaken.
The Bureau is forwarding by the
outgoing mail a large amount of ad.
vertising matter, principally Vistas
of Hawaii and Paradise and In
ferno, which is being eagerly asked
for since the Revolution, which has
ably seconded the efforts of the
