mending that Miss Whitlock be re-

only further recommendation in this
connection would be to authorize the

least 1900 persons daily, mostly tour
lists. am of the opinion that we could
obtain floor space, say 15x20 feet, in a
desirable part of the main exhibit room
at a monthly rental of $25, which
would include the distribution of
pamphlets, care of exhibit, etc. IL
should not be a particularly expensive
matter to collect and forward an inter
esting exhibit sufficient to fill such a
space, and / fully believe that it would
prove of decided value to us. A card
suitably worded and prominently dis
played would cause those sufficiently
interested to desire further informa-

Upon my arrival in San Francisco 1
called at the rooms of the California
Promotion Committee and was assured
by Mr. Rufus p. Jennings, the execu-
tive officer, with whom have had most
pleasant relations for some time past,
that the California Promotion Com
mittee would be very glad to cooperate
with the Hawaii Promotion Committee
in every way possible. Their rooms at
25 New Montgomery street are visited
daily by great many travellers and
could be used to advantage by us. AS
you are aware the ticket Office of the
Southern Pacific Railway in the Grand
Hotel, corner of Market and New Mont
gomery streets, is constantly thronged
by the travelling public. The quarters
are now being added to and improved
and much larger space allotted to the
information bureau than at present oc-
cupied. Believing that our folders,
though unusually attractive, would be
lost if placed in the racks with hun
dreds of others, secured a promise
from the chief of the bureau, Mr.. Ar
thur r. James, that we should have a
special rack space of about 2 by 8
feet, in which suitable sign could be
painted calling attention to the attrac-
tions of the Islands, the folders being
placed below the same, thus making it
possible for every person approaching
the Information Bureau to have their
attention attracted to Hawaii. The
chief of the bureau also expressed a
willingness to give us wall space for
enlarged photographs, paintings, etc.
The State Board of Trade of Califor.
mia is also willing to allot us exhibit
space for our advertising matter. The
st. Francis Hotel has it's information
