favorable action by the committee.
Respectfully submitted,
Il. P. WOOD,
Secretary.
Il MANY LADY FRIENDS.
A pleasing feature of the meeting was
} the exhibition Of letters from many
ladies on the mainland who are pulling
vigorously for Hawaii from love of the
islands imbibed in visits here.
Premier among these is Mrs. Wealth
erred, who chaperoned the Oregon
girls" here. In long communication
she told of her Hawaiian promotion
work, soliciting the cooperation of the
Committee in a special way. This was
to allow her to place Secretary Wood
on the board of directors of the cor
poration being organized to publish her
/ magazine. She intended making the
December number a Hawaiian edition.
| Mrs. Weatherred told a story about
| herself. the point of which was that
| she is reputed on the Coast to be madly
| in love with these islands. Again she
| poured out her soul in admiration of
| the floral fiesta, especially the pau
| parade, saying that of all similar cele-
| brations she had elsewhere seen this
| took the palm. She greatly appreciat-
ed the publication of her article in the
Advertiser.
AS it's financial mentor, E. I. Spald-
ing, was absent the Committee voted to
defer the magazine directorate PROPOSE
ton till next meeting.
Miss Katherine Pope of the editorial
staff of the A. N. Kellogg Newspaper
&C., Chicago, wrote to Secretary Wood
announcing the issuance by that con-
Germ of an article she had written
based on the report of Milford Robin
son upon the identifying of Honolulu
(Mr. Wood refers to this extensive
piece of advertising Hawaii at practi-
cal1y no expense in his report above.)
Miss Pope says:
LAS a one-time resident of Honolulu |
and an all-time lover of Honolulu. it |
gives me pleasure to do my mite in ex-
tolling the charms of the islands,
She encloses a proof slip of the head |
ing and portion of her article so ex-j
tensively syndicated. 1t is a double |
column heading in a border and reads: |
plans for the Identifying of Homo |
lulu A New Honolulu with It's Old |
Charms Retained and Added To-All |
One Great Park-A Glimpse Thereof |
Then, in the Honolulu excursion Girl
cular of the Southern California Edi-j
toriaI Association is printed a delight
full letter from Maud Medlin, one of |
the California girls describing in |
beautifully succinct phrases the recent |
visit of that charming bevy of Califor-l
MAN beauty to the islands.
Finally. there was a breezy letter
from one of the Oregon girls which,
like that of the fair Californian, is
deemed worthy of printing separately
from this report.
THE FRUIT MISSION.
Jared G. Smith in charge of the U.
S. Agricultural Experiment Station,
wrote of the projected mission of J. E.
Higgins from the station to the Coast
for the purpose of promoting a bust
ness like distribution of Hawaii's fresh
and preserved fruits in the mainland
markets. He solicited a donation of
$100 for expenses of the mission.
Mr. Waldron thought it a proper mat
ter for the Chamber of Commerce tol
take up.
And the Merchants Association"
Mr.. Smith suggested.
1T is fine promotion work. Presi-
dent McCandless observed but we
haven't the money. 1t is a matter that
should be brought to the attention of
the Chamber of Commerce
1t was the opinion of the meeting,
besides. that the transportation conf
Germs. from the interest they had in
promoting a large fruit export should
deal very literally with the mission
of Mr.. Higgins.
Mr.. Gartley was appointed to bring
the matter before the Merchants Asso-
citation, and Secretary Wood before
the Chamber of Commerce

ceived answers from the Pacific Mail
