BEEN SUPPLIED WITH \ FULL
LINE OF ADVERTISING MATTER
The following is the weekly report
of Secretary Wood of the Promotion
Committee, which was to meet yester-
day afternoon but did not as there was
no quorum present.
Chairman and Members Of the Ha-
wall Promotion COMMITTEES:
conference.-the been delegated
to accompany our Southern California
friends to Hilo and the Volcano it will
be impossible for me to be present at
the regular weekly meeting of the
Committee to be held Thursday next
I would suggest, however, that a for
NAL vote of thanks be extended to Mr..
Edgar johnson, Secretary of the South
ern California Editorial Association,
also to Mr.. Frank M. Jenifer, Agent of
the Oceanic Steamship Company at
Los Angeles, for their earnest sue
cessful work in connection with this
excursion which promises so much for
Hawaii mel.
From letters recently receivd 1t
would seem that the efforts of the
Committee to secure excursions from
different sections of the mainland bids
fair to be quite successful.
We have supplied, for instance, the
Iowa Excursion Bureau with full
line of our advertising matter and
have sent them a complete list Of all
parties in the State, who have made
inquiries concerning Hawaii within the
last few months, as well as giving
them the addresses of q number Of
Iowans. who were here last winter
with the result that the Manager of
the Bureau writes, by last mail, that
he expects to be successful in working
up a good sized party for a trip to the
islands the coming winter.
At our request Miss Florence Heav-
rem, one of the Oregon Girls, is plan
ming a campaign which she hopes may
result in inducing the Seattle Cham
Der of Commerce to exercise it's infiu-
ence towards getting the Editorial
Association of the State of Washing
ton to visit us.
Mr. Tom Richardson of the Port
land Commercial Club, writes under
date of August 23rd:
Gail of us in Portland appreciate the
courtesies extended to Mr. Mears but
I am anxious that we should have
large and representative excursion to
Honolulu the coming winter and will
take up the matter in earnest later on"
Our invitation to the Oregon Edi-
tcrial Association will be strongly pre-
scented at their next meeting by Mr..
Albert Tozier, the secretary.
The plans for a business mems ex-
cursion from Los Angeles are moving
along satisfactorily, and as stated in
a previous letter, we may expect with
in the next few months, delegations
from the Editorial Association of Col
orado, Kansas and Wyoming.
Mrs. Weatherred also reports that
her February excursion to Hawaii are
progressing most favorably.
You will be pleased to know that we
are in receipt of a letter stating that
the enlarged photos-four in number
4OX6O in. in size exclusive of frame)
have been made and successfully
mounted. The photographer, doing
the work, says: "They are beauties"
and that they will certainly please us.
We may expect to have those magnifi-
cent photographs on view within the
next thirty days when hope you may
feel justified in authorizing me to Sc
cure several more for special adIer-
Using purposes.
A letter recently received from Mr..
W.O. Aiken of Makawao. Maui. states
that travel to HaleaGalA is on the in
crease and that he attributes this re-
suit to the efforts IF she Promotion
Committee. We are planning to do
even more in the way Of ADVERTISING
the attractions of Maui.
Mr.. Gartley will soon have in readi-
ness new series of Kauai views for
exhibit which will undoubtedly attract
great deal of attention and prove in
strumental in drawing many travellers
to the Garden Island.
I hand you herewith the official call
for the seventeenth annual session of
the Trans-Mississipp Commercial
Congress to be held at Kansas City,
Mo, November 90 81, % and %, 1906.
Your secretary has had the honor for
several years of being on the Con-
gressiOnal Committee of this Associa-
ton and believe that HawaiPs inter-
ests at Washington would be material
ly advanced by active representation
in this active influential body which 10
absolutely non-partisan. Am securing
estimate of cost of delivery of from
three hundred to five hundred pineap-
pies in Kansas city at time of meet
ing of Congress. Each to be suitably
tagged for distribution among the dell
egates, newspapers and leading hotels.
NV assistant, Miss Crewes, will place
before you a large number of newspa-
per clippings showing the wide pub
licity that is being given to the gross
ly exaggerated tidal wave story, which
has been so dovetailed with the VAL
paradise disaster that It must result in
creating a feeling of fear and distrust
as to conditions in Hawaii among a
great many people and will undoubted-
~ have its influence on travel this
way. In connection with this matter
permit me to refer Won to the letter
