Portland Ossgonian Has Pleasant
WORDS for the Head Of the En-
tsv,a,nmsnt COMMITTEES.

George w. Smith, OF the nrm OF
Benson, Smith 4 Co.. Honolulu, II. l..
arrived In Portland yesterday with
his son. Emmett J. Smith. Mr.. Smith
has brought his son to PARKWAY Port
land for the benefits of schools to be
found here, and has selected Bishop
Scott Academy In preference to schools
OF a similar grade elsewhere on the
Pacific coast. Mr.. Smith was presi-
dent Of the committee in Honolulu
ippine expedition, including the Sec
ohd oregon, the finest reception ever
rendered soldiers OF foreign nation,
and seldom equaled by the patriotic ef-
forts OF a people in receiving their own
soldier boys.
What this means is best understood
by the members of the Second Oregon,
who were made especial objects of at
tentiOn In beautiful Honolulu. There
cannot be found a man OF the regi-
ment who will say word against Ha-
wall or any OF her people. The boys
OF the Second Oregon left the Para
disc OF the Pacific with an affection for
everything In Honolulu that was not
weakened by year In the tropics.
That was one OF the brightest spots of
their term of enlistment, and, coming
after dreary week on the TRANSPORTS,
when the comforts of home were first
missed, and In their stead were the ag-
gravated conditions Of the early ex-
perimental work OF moving troops
across the ocean, Honolulu's hospital
ity was God-send. While the city
did not, officially, bestow upon the Sec
ond Oregon favOrs greater than to
other commands. the citizens individ-
ually showed their kindly interest in
the boys from the WebfoOt State to
such an extent that 1t was generally
commented upon.
Mr.. Smith, being one of the most
prominent business men OF Hawaii, is
In position to give excellent infOrma-
ton on the effects OF annexation In the
Islands. He states positively that
there has been a marked improvement
In business since the stability insured
by the American flag has made itself
felt. Capital In larger quantities than
| ever before has come In and Is finding
permanent investment. Two new SUI
gar plantations are being started on
