steamers. Captain seabury of the p
NJ. s. s. Korea. had ''cussed" the ap,
1proaches. There were also stagnan
pools nearby, and altogether it wa:
shown that tourists obtained a very
bad impression of the city on first com.
ing ashore. The attention of the
County Supervisors will be drawn to
the matter
There We're present at the meeting
besides Messrs. McCandless, Gartley
F. c. Smith and Wood of the Promo
ton Committee, Editors Rhodes of the
Star and Harrington of the Bulletin
There was conference on the pro-
posed entertainment of the Southern
California Editorial Association in No
vember. but little was done except to
add the name of DR. n. B. Emerson
to the reception committee he to look
after the Hawaiian features of enter
tainment.
1t was brought to the attention of
! the Promotion Committee that The
Atkinson, Topeka and Santa F'e Rail-
way is issuing in it's May folder a
halfpage advertising reader with the
following headlines:
After Seeing California Go to the
Hawaiian Islands, the Paradise of the
Pacific" Then follows a terse descrip-
ton of the passenger boats, climate,
accommodations III Honolulu, etc
In his weekly statement TO the COM
mittee, Secretary Wood made the fol-
owing announcements:
Realizing the possibilities of addi-
tional advertising from this change,
we have entered into correspondence
With all of the Los Anseies papers and
have advised our agent Miss Whit
lock, TO call upon several of the bright
est reporters, forwarding her material
to give to them. We have also urged
to do its utmost to secure publicity for
the event which they viii gladly do
in order to advertise San Pedro.
we have also arranged for the dis
play OF the truly magnificent koa Gala
bash trophy, manufactured by H. F.
Wichman and Company, in the office
of the Southern Pacific Company at
Los Angeles, for a few days prior to
the yachts sailing, forwarding by the
same Alameda several pineapple plants
in bearing. Most of these will be
placed in the rooms of the Los An
geleS Chamber of Commerce; two of
the best preserved, however, will be
exhibited in the rooms of the Southern
Pacific Company, corner of 3rd and
Spring streets; one on each side of the
koa calabash
We have also covered this event by
special matter to every member of the
Southern California Editorial Assoc3a-
ton and have sent complete data to
Mr.. Bennett at San Francisco, who will
see that the Associated Press is fur
nished with frequent and full des-
patches. This feature of our work is
being conducted most satisfactorily and
successfully.
I wrote Mr. Edgar Johnson, Secre- |
tary OF the Southern California Edi- |
torial Association, very fully this mail |
and believe that with the additional /
we shall be able to send |
him by next mail that we are going |
to arouse general interest in the trip |
among the members of the Association. !
The young ladies, who are now here
as the representatives of the San Ber
nardino Times-Index, are already writ
ing glowing reports of beautiful Ho-
nolulu and the good time they are hav-
ing which is in my opinion, going to
have considerable influence on the pro-
posed excursion. Mr. Smith has kindly
offered to furnish them with transport
tation to Haleiwa. Mr. and Mrs. Bid
good could be depended upon to give
them cordial reception and a de-
ightful time.
~ am pleased to report that at our
Mr.. Jared c. Smith is en-
to secure q complete and in
,ercsting coffee exhibit for our rooms.
A little later I hope to secure a good
-ubber exhibit having already taken
up the matter by correspondence.
1t is most gratifying to know that
our plans for securing a series of NOV
ng pictures of interesting Hawaiian
scenes is about to be realized and we
ire doubly fortunate in getting the
Edison people to take UP the matter
,or they are the recognized leaders in
his line of work, having agents the
world over.
The following was received from Mr..
Bennett of San Francisco:
San Francisco, May 25, 1906.
Dear Mr.. Wood:
1t seems to be settled that La Pa
oEa, Anemone and Lurine will make
he start from San Pedro on June 18th,
md 1 have sent out items to that effect
~ Associated Press. Am sending
today. and will continue to
end out items often till race is begun.
The big disaster-bigger than you can
eaIize. not having been here to view
he situation-has completely democrat
zed everything. else this race would
ave been given greater publicity and
ould have been given such sensa-
ional start that it would have proven
great card to the Promotion Com
nittee.
MacfarIane has been hard TO find. but
