titled Hawaii" at his own risk. which
Is being artistically printed by a lead

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 phenomenal; religious, benev-
olent and social institutions; railways,
highways, public buildings and private
architecture, of these islands; that 1t is
| beautifully and profusely illustrated
and decorated in colors, making 1t an
exceedingly attractive book: that its
Information is all derived from latest
| official sources and business organiza-
tons: that it's contents were prepared
by Daniel Logan, newspaper writer
of more than twenty-eight years ex-
perience including nineteen years last
past in Honolulu, who prepared the
Handbook of the Government issued
four years ago which Is generally cO.-
coded to have been the best advertising
book on Hawaii till then issued;
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
supply of petitioners said handbook
for that purpose until the appointment
of the Hawaiian Commissioner would
not give sufficient time for him to place
the order with the printer in Chicago;

tractive as the said Handbook can be
got up within year:
That your petitioner is prepared to
supply the Secretary of the Territory
with $4,000 copies of said Handbook

partly in st. Louis as may be required,
for not more than $4,000, which at lat

lulu and St. Louis to the order of the
Secretary of the Territory, not to ex-
coed $4,000"

| George II. Carter, Secretary of the
