Take my advice and come on to st
Louis as early as you can. I believe
your success depends upon a visit tc
the ground itself.
Yours very truly,

THE EXPENSES DISCUSSED.
Mr.. Macfarlane said that Governor
Dole had asked him for what amount
the exhibit could be carried out. He
had told him he did not know. Mr..
Macfarlane said he would ask for no
salary for himself but there would
have to be n salary for the secretary.
Mr.. Irwin interrupted to state that
there should alsr be assistants to the
secretary. The chairman then asked
the members what they desired. Mr..
Macfarane said he was about to Sc
He said that Mr.. Beardslee had pre-
pared building plans on a $4,000 basis
which We're exhibited by Mr.. Boards
lee.
AS for native woods Mr.. Macfarlane
said the Bishop Estate would contrib
ute large koa log to be included.
Mr. Beardslee said the building could
be erected for $4,000 or under. 1t will
be commodious structure with n
large exhibit room, 16 foot lanai run
ming all around the building, with
swelled half circular projectors at the
corners. The whole design, in some re-
spects bearing a likeness to the Hale
iva hotel.
w. o. Smith asked whether with
$4,000 for a building, $4,000 for salaries
and work, the exhibit could be made
for $4,000 more. Mr.. Irwin said the
committee should not work with less
than $4,000.
Mr.. Cleghorn was told that $4,000 had
been expended on the Osaka exhibit.
He said he had seen the exhibit there
and was ashamed of it. There was
nothing on exhibition but photographs.
He thought all the fair exhibits, ex-
cept the one at Paris had done more
harm than good. Mr., Cleghorn threw
cold water on the proposition.
Mr., Cleghorn thought the PROPOSE
ton to send n drilled militia company
of Hawaiians to the Exposition was
an excellent one. Company + was we'll
drilled Mr., Macfarlane said num-
Der of people had asked him about
the proposition to send the militia
company.
Mr. Beardslee thought that Hawai-
ian music should not be overlooked.
II was the feature of the Mid-winter
fair and attracted many people there.
Mr. Macfarlane said he did not want
TO attempt anything and fall down on
It, w. o. Smith was of the opinion
that failure after starting was worse
than dropping out of the matter in the
first place. Mr. Dillingham; endorsed
Mr.. smiths opinion. Mr.. Smith also
said it would surely be a paying in
vestment If the government should
provide the means TO present Hawaii
in proper way to the world. Mr..
Macfarlane said he was almost afraid
to tackle the proposition at even
$50, 900.
Mr. Irwin again suggested that Mr..
Macfarlane secure $4,000 and IL sue
cessful, To go ahead. The commits
sloner said he was going back to the
Governor to try to get the 100000.
Mr. Dillingham; moved that IL be the
sense of the meeting that the govern
men provide $4,000, and IL less, the
matter be given up. This was amend
ell by Mr.. McCandless to set the fig-
ure at $4,000, He wanted respect
able exhibit The sum was little
enough. To go to ST. Louis with a
paltry 100000 would not be worth
while.
The resolution carried.
