Well Spent.

Since September, 1908, when the Pro
motion Committee began its work, Their
has been expended about So, 900 in at
tracing tourist travel to the Hawaiian
Islands. Expressions OF the variou
members OF the committee al yester
days meeting were TO the effect tina
this money has been wei spent an,
that the Islands, and particularly Homo
lulu, have derived exceptional benefit.
from the expenditure BY some it wa
said that it was a very small sum Of
money considering the advantages that
have accrued to the community.
Il think it is modest expenditure
for the results obtained, remarked
Mr.. spaIding, in naming the figures
t'The money has brought good re
suits
81 think we have had splendid re
suits, said Secretary Wood.
/ Chairman McCandless thought that
the city was progressing steadily and
that the promotion work was bringing
/ the best results New houses are GO
I ing up all over town. he said. 81
/ think that now is the time for the dis
tribution OF our literature all over the
mainland to pave the way for the com
ing winter travel and start it moving
this way
1t was acknowledged that this was
probably the "of season. but when
cold weather approached more atten-
ton would be given TO the tropics as
the place 70 winter in. Secretary Wood
said that considerable attention was
being given to the Northwest.
Secretary Wood said that he had
asked the Southern California girls on
their return home to interview the edi-
tors Of the various papers concerning
their proposed trip to Hawaii this fall
The young ladies promised 10 use their
efforts to induce a large number of
them to make the trip.
The secretary suggested a ''promo-
ton trip" to the Island of Kauai. He
believed that such trip would be
taken advantage of by large number
of people.
A cablegram was received yesterday
by Secretary Wood for Mr.. Bonine,
he N, ,.;a+,-,-t ,,,O- ~ :; ,-,-.-
on the Island of Hawaii 1t was from !
the New York headquarters of the Edi- |,
SON company and gave Mr.. BONNIE per-
mission 70 remain here as long as neees- /
sary. Mr.. Wood said that he had made
some successful pictures of various in
cidents on Hawaii, including the Ko-
hala excursion party landing at MANU-
kona.
Secretary Wood s general report of
matters for the week was
presented as follows:
By the steamers sailing TO the Coast

large mail, also sending some ten thou !!
sand circulars for distribution through
put New England, New York and Chi !,
The first lot of twenty-five thousand
Us, 000) of the folder Hawaii is
practically exhausted. The remaining d
seventy-fye thousand (75,o00) viii, as
you know, have better color arrange
nent for the cover and viii also con-
tain a more carefully drawn map and
very much more attractive cut of the
different hotels. The Gazette Company
expect to commence running these on
the press within the next few days.
The series of photographs taken
along the Nuuanu stream by Mr.. Cart
ey have attracted great deal of at
.ention. Mr.. Perkins is now arranging
4 series Of Kauai views for exhibit
which we viii shortly have in place.
With some of the money appropriated !
or the Los Angeles exhibit, I have had
'ixty-four (64) of the colored plates !
IF Hawaiian fishes as published by the :
{. S. Fish Commission framed and
placed at the front of our counter ;
md have also arranged for neat sign !
o call attention to the same. 1t is a I
natter of surprise how few of our own
people have seen these beautiful plates. {
No word has come direct from Mr..
BONNIE, but 7 understand that he has :
obtained some unusually good pictures
IN Hawaii. The one showing the Ko-
lala excursionists disembarking at Ma
lukano landing was taken under most I
favorable conditions. We should hear '
rom Mr.. BONNIE by return Kinau and I
viii then be able to arrange for the 7
pecial park turnout and pau parade.
