Matter.

LUX up CONSIDERATION or
plan for the advertising of the Terri
tory by the purchase of $4,000 copies
of volume on Hawaii to be distribute
ed through the United States, partic-
ularly at the st. Louis Exposition.
The matter came up on the following
petition. from Charles r. Frazier,
which was read and consideration
turned over to Keliinoi, ChiIlingworth
and Damiana;
To the Legislature of the Territory of
Hawaii:
| Your petitioner humbly showeth that
he is about to publish a handbook en-
titled Hawaii" at his own risk. which
is being artistically printed by lead
ing Chicago house;
That the said handbook contains full
Information Of the Territory of Ha-
wall, in chapters devoted to the agri-
culture, commerce, industries, educa-
ton, scenery, sports and pastimes and
volcanic phenomena; religious benev-
olent and social institutions: railways,
highways, public buildings and private
architecture, of these islands; that it is
beautifully and profusely illustrated
and decorated in colors, making it an
exceedingly attractive book: that its
information is all derived from latest
official sources and business organiza-
tons; that its contents were prepared
by Daniel Logan, a newspaper writer
of more than twenty-eight years ex-
perienee including nineteen years last
past in Honolulu, who prepared the
Handbook of the Government issued
four years ago which is generally con-
coded to have been the best advertising
hoo f1.a,, ferc11
That a great deal of Hawaiian de-
scriptive literature will be required for
distribution at the St Louis EXPOSE
ton; that to leave the contract for a
supply of petitioners said handbook
for that purpose until the appointment
of the Hawaiian Commissioners would
not give sufficient time for him to place
the order with the printer in Chicago;
that no other work SO complete and at
tractive as the said Handbook can be
got up within a year;
That your petitioner is prepared to
supply the Secretary of the Territory
with $4,000 copies of said Handbook
for delivery, partly in Honolulu and
partly in st. Louis as may be required,
for not more than $4,000, which at lat
est quotations from the printer leaves
but a slight margin of profit;
Therefore your petitioner humbly
prays that the following item, or one
to similar effect, be inserted in the
Appropriation Bill:
For $4,000 copies of Frazier's hand
book, u Hawaii deliverable in Homo
lulu and St Louis to the order of the
Secretary of the Territory, not to ex-
coed $4,000
accompanying this please find rough |
proof-sheets of the book in question, |
with sample of book page and Govern |
George r. Carter, Secretary of the
Territory. says he will endorse the
petition if he be given authority to
charge ten cents a copy at his discre-
ton for books distributed.
Your petitioner believes that this
would be a wise safeguard against in
distribution of the book.
