given pratique the committee scram-
bled up the uncertain steps of the
rope ladder. 1t was a giddy feat for
some but there were no accidents 1t
the committee were Chairman James
A. McCandless, Secretary III. P. Wood
Fred. l.. Waldron, A Gartley, Jr., all
of the Promotion Committee; Editor
Chas. L. Rhodes of the Star, w. M
Langton of the Paradise of the Pacific,
DR.. n. B. Emerson, A. p. Taylor of

as leis were placed around their necks
the two parties mingled on the best
of terms The visitors wore not only
leis but ribbons bearing the words:
" Aloha: Southern California Editors:
Honolulu, Hawaii, 1906
LIKED THE ALAMEDA.
The editors, their wives and daugh-
ters and the unattached writers, all

became altogether too heated, and so
the day before arrival at Honolulu
they quit.
Those papers were wonderful sheets.
Much space was devoted to a mock
trial in which one of the gentlemen
was accused of having hypothecated
some prunes. The trial was we'll con-
Quoted but the jury found verdict
against the judge and attorneys.

On landing at the Oceanic wharf the
guests were conducted to a special car
of the Rapid Transit furnished by
courtesy of Manager BaIlentyne and
were conveyed up Fort street, the
guests for the Young Hotel dropping
off at Hotel street and the remainder |
being taken around TO the Hawaiian /
Hotel. Their wants were attended to (
and members of the committees re-
mained at the two hotels to give in
formation desired. At 1880 all were |
in the Hawaii Promotion /
rooms where Secretary H. P. Wood, an
old-time San Diegan and therefore
quite at home among the Californians,
was host. A cooling draught was served
and the visitors enjoyed the view of
