tnf,,d an uncomfortable moment and
! have been here since the eiRhth iouf
climate is absolutely superb. leave
hcfs on tho Honoma FOR Australia and
VIII not b. home for three years. but
] have written a. many OF my friends
on the mainland telling them that I
have been absolutely chatmed with
everything herr IN the islands Your
people are very hcspitable and 1 have
been very favorably impressed
IL seems 10 me that there II a great
future for Hawaii sucn a climate and
such a soil VIII doubtless bring great
prosperity TO these islands In time OF
course. I suppose you have your con-
ditions TO work out for the best. but
we have our labor troubles in Califor-
mia too. Personally. have always
been opposed TO the exclusion law. Not
that ! prefer cheap labor. but We can
not get sufficient citizen labor. l am
fully convinced that. but for the
exclusion law we would have fifty per
cent more population In California to-
day"
do you mean fifty per cent. more
white population" was asked. Yes,
fifty per cent. more white population.
/ would of course much rather see
American labor but we can not get II
and our fruit orchards are suffering
for lack OF labor. 1 do not favor let
ting in all the Chinese by any means.
but 1 have always favored the admis-

Mr.. Newmark was President of the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce in
1900 and was a member of the board
OF directors for eight years. AS such
he came in contact with Mr.. H. p.
Wood. the present secretary of our
Promotion Committee. Speaking Of the
Los Angeles Chamber and of Mr..
Wood. Mr.. Newmark said You are
certainly very fortunate in securing
the services of Mr.. Wood. He bears
the highest reputation in Los Angeles.
did not come in contact with the de-
tails OF his work much. but personal
friends in the Chamber who did for
his ability and methods.
THE Los Angeles Chamber OF Com
merce. as you know, is unique. There
is probably not another like II in the
world. 1t is very likely the largest in
the United States, possessing a mem
bership OF over 200. 1t does all sorts
of work for the city. We maintain a
permanent exhibit there at which the
counties and individuals as well keep
their products on exhibition. / have
no doubt in stating that fully thirty
per cent. of the increase in the popu-
lation Of Los Angeles is due directly
to this Chamber of Commerce AMI its
work.
Whenever there is a prominent man
in town, the Chamber entertains him,
as well as attending to a thousand and
one other things to advance the inter-
ests of the city. 1 presume that your
people here work together. We do In
Los Angeles. OF course. there are pet
ty rivalries, but when 1t comes to adj
vancing the welfare and prosperity of
the town. we all pull together"
AS Mr.. Newmark turned away he re-
marked, you have fine hotels here"
The reporter ventured that people
wanted something comfortable in the
way OF hotel accommodations as well
as fine climate and scenery. well,
you certainly have fine hotels in Homo
lulu" repeated he. THE Moana is
certainly the most pleasant hotel that
I have stopped in any where in the
world You have excellenf hOtela and
plenty of them"
