had been laid open before the guests
Mr.. Rhodes introduced each speaker
with a short address, sometimes witty
| sometimes serious, but always enter
tanning.
M'CANDLESs ON STEAMSHIPS.
Our Guests" was responded to by
| J. A. McCandless. chairman of the Ha-
wall Promotion Committee. Mr.. Nc
Candless referred to his old project of
a steamship line, owned Independently,
to operate between here and the Coast,
and this time said the Coast port
you now as fellow townsmen and if we
had that steamship line in operation
now, we would follow you back when
you co. said the speaker. Il have
never been in Los Angeles and the
principal reason is that we have no
direct way of getting there. There is
a short cut across the ocean and we
should like to see you people get inter-
ested and organize a steamship COM
pany to establish a line between Los
Angeles and Hopolulu You have a
harbor there and have no use for it
now. We would like to make use of
it. Our people are pretty good travellers.
We have sugar barons in one class and
then there is another class which on
the Coast is called the princely class,
and they all spend money literally. So
let US get together
AN EDITOR RESPONDS.
D. G. Holt responded to the toast,
1.-The Southern California Editorial As
ISOLATION He said he had a great
toast The association had visited the
Pan-American Exposition, that at st.
Iouis and then the one at Portland.
and had visited several cities, and yet
time had it been SO overpowered with
attention as in Honolulu and Hawaii
generally.
1--WE are convinced that you have
stacked the cards on u.s. he said. I'VE
have usually gone forth to conquer, but
you have caught US in the act and we
have been captured. We realize more
than ever the necessity of bringing
Southern California into closer rela-
tionship with you. and we shall not rest
one moment until that object has been
accomplished. Your Promotion Com
nlittee should act as a matrimonial
bureau. and l have no doubt that that
would attract many of US to your
shores.

speaking Hawaii right here In for
mer times there was a class of sooth-
saving people in the islands and their

tors of medicine. all who called on the
gods to assist them. There We're some
who prayed people to death. and they
were a bad class. Some consulted the
stars and foretold the future There /
