The special agencies in conjunction
with the transportation companies have
been responsible for the distribution
of about 100000 pieces of printed mat
ter bearing upon Hawaii

distributed above $4,000 pieces. This
is shown largely in the postage bill

RAILROAD AND STEAMSHIP CON-
PANIES.
From the very first the most cordial
relations have existed with the great
railway and steamship companies. The
material issued by the committee has
been transported and distributed prac-
tically without cost.
The Southern Pacific Co. and the
Santa Fe system, the New York Cen
tral, the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cifc, the Missouri Pacific, the Chicago
and Northwestern, the Union Pacific,
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
and the Canadian Pacific railways have
made liberal mention of Hawaii as an
objective point for tours in their va
rious folders and advertisements, and
assurances have come recently, in re-
sponse to circular letters, that larger
mention will be made in the future.
The three steamship companies which
carry passengers to and from Hawaii,
the Pacific Mail Oceanic and Canad-
ian-Australian, have issued folders de-
scriptive of the islands, which are well
illustrated and widely distributed.
OFFICE WORK.
From the opening of its local office
there has been a constant use of the
facilities afforded, by travellers, both
those passing through, and tourists who
have made considerable visits to Ho-
nolulu. During the month of February,
1904, the average daily number of call
ers was above fifty. When fIlled
through steamer is in port the number
of calls ranges from forty-five to nine
ty and during the presence, at the be-
ginning of the year and later, of the
American fleets and foreign warships,
wide opportunities for distribution We're
afforded by the constant calls of officers
and men, seeking booklets TO be sent
abroad.
From the first the rule was establish
ed that every letter must receive n
typewriter, personal response, and OF
the more than 5000 letters which have
been received in the past eleven
months, for the advertisements did not
begin To bear fruit until the issuance
of October magazines, each one has
been responded to either with "A form
letter. or where there has been a special
inquiry, with a long and exhaustive
statement. The Office OF the commit
tee has been used for the display Of
wall and relief maps various products
OF the islands and the complete pic
tornl exhibit prepared by the Hawaii
Exposition Association and sent 10
Japan, with the exception alone of the
few frames which We're not returned.
