Honolulu August 16, 1906
Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen: By the last steamer
Mr. Edgar Johnson. Secretary of the
Southern California Editorial Associa-
ton, wrote that he had booked several
editors for the trip to Hawaii since
sending out his last circular letter.
Among them Managing Editor Brun-
dige OF the Los Angeles Express, and
a representative of the Los Angeles
Times. We are now assured of a thor
oughly representative party well equip
ped with photographers and cartoon
lists. Including members and their
wives there will probably be sixty in
the excursion. BY the Alameda, due
tomorrow, we should receive additional
information and l would respectfully
suggest that a meeting of the Editors
Reception and Entertainment Commit
tee be called as soon as it can be con-
yenfently arranged.
A letter from Mrs. Weatherred states
that she is already booking names for
the Western Tours Companys special
excursion to Hawaii in February next. |
She plans to have her party here in
time for the 22nd of February celebra- |
ton.
T,OC
agent, writes that she is arranging to
give the Hawaiian exhibit more space !
in her rooms. She also writes en- i
couragingly Of winter prospects.
1 am pleased to report that we have
succeeded in interesting the publicity
department of the Alaska-Yukon-Pa- !
cific, Exposition, Ito be held at Seattle
June 9Th to September Both, 1900, in
Hawaii and they promise to do all
they can to exploit the beauty of our
islands and the attractions offered by
a trip to Honolulu in the pamphlets
and leaflets they send out advertising ,
the exposition.
We are in receipt of letters from
different Railway Companies saying
that where possible they will place in
their limited trains some special mol
tees we forwarded, asking parties in
dresses for folders, etc.
Mr.. T. d. Mckay writes from Hong !
kong that our new folders have been
well distributed all over the Orient and
that he believes we viii get good re-
suits from them.
Regarding the distribution of our
folders on the Pacific Coast, the pres
ent service covers Portland. Tacoma, /
Oakland San Francisco, Los Angeles
and San Diego. Spokane is being in
vestigated and will also be included if
it is found that there is reliable
Folder Company operating in that city,
Word comes from the photographic
Office at Washington that our special
chart of the Pacific Ocean, showing
the strategical position occupied by
Hawaii and giving tracks for full
powered steam vessels with distances
from Honolulu to some thirty-four of
the leading ports will soon be COM
pleted. A number of these will be
backed and mounted and will I'M
doubtedly prove of great value in call
ing attention to Hawaii's commanding
trade routes across the Pacific.
1 have been requested to call the at
tention of the committee to the con
dition of the vacant lots in the rear i
of E. O. Hall & Son, Hawaiian Trust
Company and Pacific Hardware Com |
pany buildings. 1t would be a great
improvement if the Atkinson parking
system could be applied to these prem
Uses, which are so centrally situated. !
