$4,000 NEEDED.
J. A. Gilman said that the Promotion
Committee could not possibly stop its
work where it is now. Arrangements
had been made with railroads, tourist
agencies, ETC., which compelled them to
continue advertising. and if they stop
ped the railroads would become dis
gruntled and not work with the COM
n1ittee. At the end of the present
month, the committee would have on
hand $4,000. In addition $1,000 per
month was received from wharf tax,
and also $500 per month from outside
subscriptions. The present plan of the
committee calls for the expenditure of
$3.50 per month. He did not think
that $4,000 for advertising and litera-
ture for the fair was too much, and
it had been estimated that 10000
pieces of literature would be required.
As to the fund suggested by CIV. Smith
there was on special deposit the sum
of $4,000 which had been set aside for
an emergency. He believed it would
be necessary TO raise $4,000 to carry
put in even $500 would run them short.

WCTORIA's GIFT TO QUEEN
EMMA TO LEAVE HAWAII
Jewelled Bracelet Containing Medallion Portrait
and Lock of Hair of Englands Sovereign
Will Repose in Possession of Creswell Rookie.

Two of the priced heirlooms of the
Queen Emma collection, which are
closely related in island history to
oueen victoria and the Duke of Edin-
burgh, will leave Hawaii on the next
steamer and be returned to England
whence they came thirty-five and forty
years ago respectively
one is the beautiful medallion brace
let given to Queen Emma on the occa-
sion of her visit to Windsor Castle in
1865. The other was presented to the
widowed Hawaiian queen by the Duke
of Edinburgh on his return TO England
from Hawaii in 1859. They will in fu-
ture remain in the possession of Mr..
Cresweu P. Rookie, nephew of Dr. T. G.
b. Rookie, the adaptive father of Queen
Emma.
Queen Emma, wife of King Kameha-
rneha III, left her property to Col.
Rookie and to the Queens Hospital
Part of the property from which Queen
Emma had derived her income was
claimed by Col. Rookie, father OF Cres-
we'll Rookie, the present heir, who VS.
tied in Honolulu last year Col Rooke
claimed the property as the next helr
to Dr. Rookie. The matter went INTO
the court for adjustment, and II was
decided the property did actually be-

Hawaii where I saw the waving fields
of cane.
The richest soil on earth has always
been considered the delta Of the Missis-
sippi in the States of Louisiana and
Mississippi That delta is famed over
the world for its richness, but 1t does
not produce one half the crop which is
raised here in these Islands. And
there are so many other things in the
Islands. attractive and beautiful. For
instance. the whole world goes to see

here, just as beautiful, but for every
one that sees them, one thousand go

thing here, but you don't tell anyone
about it.
SHAw'S GARDEN.
1--WE had the same thing in st. Louis.
There lived there very wealthy man,
Henry Shaw, who had collected the
most beautiful botanical specimens
from all over the world, but he allowed
no one to see them, excepting one day
In the week, when admission was by
card. He was eighty-fve years old
and for all the days of his life he had
barred the rest of the world from his
gardens. Finally Shaw died, thank
God. and he left Shaw's Gardens to the
people OF ST. Louis, and also a fund Of
six million dollars. And If you go
there now you can see the gardens,
with the great, rock wall around them,
as left by Mr.. Shaw. And SO it is
with Hawaii, with it's many beautiful
things. Why not have them told to
the world. Tt doesn't do you any
good if you have the most beautiful
spot in the world; it doesn't do the
world any good unless you tell about
it. The world will do you good if you
tell about it, by coming here. If you
advertise Hawaii correctly, the people
here will be showed back, SO quickly

"Mr. MacfarIane was speaking of
Pearl Harbor. What beautiful har-
Dor it would be if fixed up. To get it
fixed up you must interest Congress.
When the matter is brought up, you
will hear one Congressman after an
other ask what is Hawaii, where is it,
etc. If Missourfs delegation, for in
stance, did vote for it, they wouldn'
fight for the appropriation, but once
if they were shown the details of the
proposed work they would get enthu-
siastic over it. I call it spending
$40, 900 or $4,000 and getting back five
millions, just for the harbor.
THE OPPORTUNITY.

opportunity to advertise the country
pass by. 1 know you have here some
thing that you see every day, but

MR.. LOWREY'S VIEWS.
ssT+ caaDoS 70 mo that aS tho eyOUern-
ment can't make the exhibit, the mer-
chants should take hold of it to some
extent said F. J. Lowrey. 1.-THE first
consideration should be what extent
that will be. I do not believe that an
exhibit can be undertaken on the same
scale as originally attempted. No
building can be erected at this late
date The merchants are spending

tai for years. After the case was SO
decided, Col Rookie was by right en-
titled to back rents which the hospital
enjoyed, but he very generously waived
that right. In consideration of his haV-
ing done so, his son asked that two
bracelets belonging to Queen Emma be
given him as family heirlooms.
One is the bracelet presented by
Queen Victoria to Emma in 1865. 1t Is
of fine English gold, very heavy and
broad. with the inscription inside;
Victoria R-27 November, 1865 The
top stone is a large onyx covering a
Iocket in which is a medallion mlHla-
ture of Victoria. The fiat portion be-
low the onyx stone encloses in glass a
lock of Victoria's hair, which is dark
golden brown color The medallion
shows Victoria in widows weeds, pic
ture we'll known. She sits in penslve
attitude at a table leaning her chin up
on one hand.
The second bracelet, the present OF
the Duke of Edinburgh, is also of gold.
The bracelet, which is very broad, IS
set with a beautiful amethyst sur
mounted by a sunburst of diamonds
and pearls. The large stone is also sur
rounded by pearls.
George W. Smith, secretary of the
trustees of the Queens Hospital, will
forward the heirlooms on the next
steamer. Mr.. Rockies home seat IS
Rroornhill, Colchester, Essex, England.
The bracelets have reposed in the keep
ing of Mr.. Bruce Cartwright for many
years.

F. c. Smith moved that special
finance committee be appointed with
power to devise ways and means for
the exhibit and to report Monday aft
ernoon.
G. W. Smith said that the motion
made by him gave the Promotion Com
mittee power to raise funds. and hfs
motion was carried the whole matter
being left to the committee and Com
missioner Macfarlane. An adjourn
ment was then taken and the com
mittee may report at another meeting
to be held Monday afternoon, though
it was left free to act as it wished in
this matter.

Promotion Committee and Exposition

Promotion Committee and Exposition
Commissioner.
Mr.. Gilman said that it would prob
ably be up to the retailers to give about
$3.50 TO $500 apiece to raise the neces-
sary funds Mr. Wichman replied that
such subscriptions generally started at
Fort and Queen streets and ended at
Fort and Hotel streets. He thought
there should be a more equable assess
ment, taking in the whole membership
of both associations.
Mr.. Macfarlane said that an indie
pendent finance committee should be
appointed, and if the money could not
be raised in any other way, then the
, old plan pursued by the Fire Claims

THE SPECIAL DEPOSIT.

| Mr.. Gilman replied that the wharf
committee had no money in the treas
ury other than the $4,000 on special
deposit in the Bank of Hawaii, which
could be used only in an emergency.
| There was in addition the $4,000 which
the promotion committee had, and the
monthly income from tonnage tax was
about $1,000. Mr.. Wichman said he
thought there was a larger amount on
hand. Mr.. Gilman said that before Mr..
Boyd was sent, it would be well to see
| if $4,000 could be raised by Monday
night. which might be sufficient.
G. w. Smith thought that it would
MT be advisable to go before the mer-
chants asking for contributions unless
definite proposition could be present
ed. Mr.. Gilman said that plans had
already been definitely outlined.
f. j. Lowrey suggested that informal
ton might be obtained by cable as to
whether space could be obtained in one
of the large buildings.
Mr.. Macfarlane thought it would be
better to send Mr.. Boyd, as he would be
| in touch with the situation, and might
recommend a change in plans, moving
pictures for instance.
c. L. Wight thought that the com
munity had enough confidence in the
| Hawaii Promotion Committee, which
was composed of members of the two
organizations, to trust them with 49,.
Co., without saying exactly what should
| be done with it.
| F. c. Smith said the business men
should know in advance what was to
be done with the money. He said Mr..

were raised or not.

Monday afternoon. This would still al

MUST ACT IN A HURRY.

Mr.. Macfarlane said that Secretary
Reeves had informed him that no time
was to be lost, although he had agreed
to do everything in his power, and
would suspend the rules if necessary -
get an exhibit from Hawaii. He sug-
gested that Mr.. Boyd be sent to St
Louis on the Korea and, he could tell
after a talk with the exposition officials
what could be done and what should be
done, and might then cable to Homo
lulu. In the meantime he believed that
a finance committee should be appoint
ed to raise funds and as soon as the
amount required is known, then the
merchants could tell what can be done.
If anything is to be done at all, Mr..
Macfarlane said. Mr.. Boyd must be
sent on the Korea.
G. w. Smith said that if the COM
mittee decided to send Mr.. Boyd, it was
all right.
Mr.. Gilman said that it was the opin-
ion of the Promotion Committee that
Mr.. Boyd should be sent, but another
thing just as important was to find out
if the merchants would contribute
ST., 500. If Mr.. Boyd was sent and the
money could not be raised it would be
wasted.
Fl. F. Wichnan said he understood
that the wharf committee had quite q
large balance on hand, which might be
diverted for exhibition purposes.

A MODERATE EXHIBIT.

G. w. Smith then moved that a mod
crate exhibit be made at st. Louis, to
be placed in the hands of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee and the World
Fair Commission to devise ways and
means, and report back to a future
meeting

PROMOTION WORK.

Secretary, Boyd also spoke against
the discontinuance of the Promotion
Committee work. He said that at
present he was answering from sew
epty-flve to a hundred letters on each
mail, and was in constant communica-
ton with forty-two railroads and
tourist offices. In the seven months
advertising already done. the Honolu-
III office had been pointed out as a CEN
ter of information, and letters of in
CURRY were received on every steamer
from all over the world. The mainte-
nance of the local bureau he felt to be
imperative, even though there might
be diversion of the queries to the San
Francisco office. Mr.. Boyd said that
with the aid of the Territory there had
already been printed 100000 pieces of
literature of which $4,000 copies of the
folder and 10000 books had already
been distributed. Also there had been
printed in Honolulu 25, 900 small books
of which 5000 had already been sent
out in three weeks. He expected also
that it would be necessary to renew
the stock of literature by August or
September and for that reason. the
committee had been outstanding its
resources and living well within its
income. Advertising matter now
being placed is, a quarter page in six
teen magazines and six newspapers.

Now that the Hassalo Commercial
club has been revived with good pros
poets for an active summers work,
there are already expressions Of disap-
proval at the club having any perma.
nent headquarters. the amount Of dues
to be levied, the name the club shall go
by, etc, These are all very we'll and
good and indicate that something more
than passing thought is being given
to the subject, Such matters will very
properly come before the club at its
first meeting, Tuesday night, July 5,
when they should be settled by ma
jority vote. But there is one thing the
Glacier would very much prefer to see,
and that is neatly furnished perma-
nent headquarters, The present head
quarters do very well, and the rent is
by no means excessive. Without such
headquarters the club would often fall
short in its accomplishments, Such
rooms furnish comfortable meeting
places, They will be needed when the
club entertains prominent visitors TO
the city. Suppose immigration or
traffic agents OF the railroads had mes
sage to deliver in person to the business
men Of Hood River, what more proper
place to receive 1t than at the rooms of
the commercial clubP Suppose capital
lists wish to talk OF putting mills in the
town, wouldn't they consider that the
business men were more enterprising
ii they received them in comfortable
commercial club rooms, than if met by
struggling delegation of citizens in
some real estate office or the city jail2
Think it over and endeavor to see the
necessity of maintaining permanent
headquarters for the new commercial
club.

Hood River farmers will do well to
ponder over the suggestions II. +. Dav.
idson offers in an interview published
in another column Of this issue Of the
Glacier. Mr.. Davidson probably has
the strawberry situation better in hand
than any other man in Hood River. In
addition TO the suggestions Mr.. David
son offers the growers, he says the ques'
tion of freight rates is becoming a ser
ious one. The Northern Pacific com.
pany deliberately advanced the freight
charges 20 per cent or more this year
and the 0. X. a. N. refused to haul the
g. Il. X. ears unless there was train
of five or more cars, This prohibited
the Hood River berries from going into
the southern markets when the price
was good there. II one or two cars
could have gone into the Middle West
and Southern markets each day for a
week before the berries were dumped in
by the train load the good prices could
have been taken advantage of, says Mr..
Davidson. The railroad companies are
making too good thing out Of the
Hood River strawberries. They know
the fruit here sells well and they have
taken advantage Of the shippers to de-
mand more than their share Of the
spoils.
