Secretary Wood read the following
communication from Editor johnson
of the Fullerton (Cal) Tribune:
Fullerton. Cal, Aug. s, 1906
ISdL " yOuI Ia VI
of July Goth will say some of our mem
bers will remain three weeks or a
month but 1 think most of them will
return on the Sonoma at expiration of
the II day visit.
Upon arrival at Honolulu you will be
given a list of those who will remain
with you.
I sent you the last circular letter yes
terday. This has been the hardest trip
of my life to work up on account of
the election coming on in Nov, and
you know that both state conventions
will not be held until after we are on
the way to Honolulu. When we de-
cided upon the date we believed both
conventions would be. over in August.
Then again I have been up against it
good and hard on account of so many
members being afraid of a little sea-
sickness. You know I have sent out
three, long circular letters; mailed out
the papers you sent and also mailed
nice souvenir cards to every member
and have done everything possible to
keep up an interest in the trip. Fifty
six people are booked up TO today.
but 1 don't believe we will have more
than 40. I may be unable to go at the
last day. but will do everything possible
to go along. Mrs. Johnson is getting
ready and says she is anxious to meet
you again, having formed your ac-
quaintance at San Diego. By the way
am going to san Diego Saturday to try
to book some of the boys for this
trip. The Union gave yourself and
the association a nice notice the past
week. d Hoping to meet you soon and
thanking you for the interest taken in
our coming trip. am.
Yours truly,
EDGAR JOHNSON.
The following communications bear
ing on the editors visit were also read:
Makawao, Maui, H. T., July 80, 1906.
Mr.. H. P. Wood, Honolulu, Oahu.
Dear Mr.. Wood: l have to acknow-
ledge both your letters of the 9Th and
25th, which were duly received and
noted.
I am glad that Mr.. Bonine had good
reports to make of his treatment on
Maui. for we did what we could to
make it pleasant and profitable for
him. We found him a very agreeable
gentleman and enjoyed his stay with
US very much. I put it up to the
Waikiki Improvement Association to
take care of him in Waikiki, and they
did it very well, for which 1 must not
forget to write and thank them. We
had fine trip into the crater. and the
weather and view was absolutely per-
feet, and the pictures that we got
should turn out well. / wish that you
might have been along with us. 1t was
too bad that the extra plates that we
ordered could not have come to hand,
for we could then have gotten a lot
more views Of interesting places. How
ever, We will do it up brown when Mr..
Bonine comes back again. I was sorry
that we had to leave out our Keanae-
Nahiku country, which is 1 believe the
prettiest in the Territory.
l will try someday to get you sew
eral good specimens of silver sword
plant at different stages of growth but
to do it will have to go prepared for
the purpose for they break so easily
We saw some magnificent specimens
that would attract attention any
where.
note what you say as to the trip
of the editors from Southern Califor-
MIA, and while I would enjoy immense
ly taking run down to Honolulu and
meeting them, am afraid it will hard
ly be POSSIBLE.
However, 1 hope that we may be
able to induce some of them to make
a visit to Maui, and take in Haleakala,
and 1 will see what kind of a figure
we can give them for such a trip. I
suppose that they will go to Hawaii
by the kinau and return on her, so
that they would land on Maui Satur-
day morning, and. provided the Mauna
Loa went down on Monday of the fol-
lowing week, would have three days
on Maui Otherwise they would have
to stay until Wednesday night, five
days. Suppose that they could not af
ford that much time. so that some spe-
cial arrangement would have to be
made for them. They could make the
Hilo trip by Claudine, land on Maui on
the return trip Wednesday. and take
the Kinau Friday night. However, I
will write to Mr. Kennedy. though I
do not see that he can do much for
US. as anyone could get a stopover
privilege here without any trouble so
