Hawaii and they promise to do all
they can to- exploit the beauty of our

We are in receipt of letters from
different Railway Companies saying

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 will get good re-
suits from them.
Regarding the distribution of our
folders on the Pacific Coast, the pres-I
ent service covers Portland, Tacoma,
Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles
and san Diego. Spokane is being in
and will also be included If
it is found that there is a reliable
Folder Company operating in that city.

Office at Washington that our special

the strategical position occupied by
Hawaii and giving tracks for full
steam vessels with distances
