The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1906-06-08

The weekly letter of Secretary Wood,
read at the meeting of the Promotion
Committee yesterday, is of especial in
terest because OF those points where it
touches upon the financial aspects of
the work. 1t should be borne in mind.
in this connection that the committee
is not working for Hawaii alone, but
for the entire Territory and in asking
the members of the Legislature for an
appropriation it is asking for money
that will be used in the most effectual
way for the common good
The help of Governor Carter is like
wise to be solicited in this connection.
The Governor knows, of course, that
American communities have been built
up by the tourist business. The build
ing of an American community, in
fact, is a composite task. There are all
elements in the population. and IN Ha-
wall particularly need for several
elements. Governor Carter has put
himself in line with the President in
getting the laborers upon the land.
There is, aside from this, the appeal
that is made to the man who will come
and see. and love and make his home.
This is the man who is comfortably
well-to- do. The same kind of man who
has built mighty and prosperous COM
monwealth in Southern California. And
it is to this class, more particularly,
that promotion work appeals. In ask
ing the help of the government to get
this class here, the Promotion Commit
tee is doing precisely the thing that
is needed at this time. In line with the
work being done by Mr.. Stackable. This
Is to get a balanced community. The
letter of Secretary Wood follows:
SECRETARY WOODS LETTER.
Honolulu, June Z, 1906.
Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen: i had hoped to have been
able to make up my weekly letter by
references to such communications as
we might have received by the Sono-
ma, but the unlocked for delay Of the
steamers arrival prevents my doing so.
Late yesterday afternoon We received
cablegram from Shreve and Company
stating that they had forwarded the
cup they were manufacturing as the
chief trophy for the yacht race. TO Los
Angeles for exhibition purposes. They
sent the cup just as II was saved from
the fire in an unfinished condition.
This they did at my request, and for
the purposes of advertising, the very
fact that the cup will be dis played in
an unfinished condition with card
bearing the statement that it passed
through the fire of April 18th, in the
vaults of Shreve and Company, will
create a more general interest in the
nj harXNiSa no "A
ed. This cup will reach Los Angeles
today and with the Koa Calabash and
the pineapple plants in bearing will
make up one of the most attractive
exhibits that we have ever arranged
for on the Coast and will undoubtedly
result in a great many write-ups.
The Edison Companys representa-
tive, Mr. r. *. BONNIE, has spent a
very busy week in preparing for the
work he has mapped out which from
present indications will include prac-
tically every subject that can be made
up into a moving picture.
LIVING PICTURE WORK.
l regret that Mr.. Bonnie will not be
here on the 18th of June, having made
arrangements to so to Hawaii next
Saturday for the purpose of taking
views in connection with the opening
of the Kohala Ditch. Several gentle
men prominently connected with this
undertaking have promised to use their
influence in getting up an interesting
series of events. on this trip Mr.. Bo-
nine hopes to secure pictures of load
ing cattle at Kawaihae, sheep shear
ing, cattle throwing and other ranch
IA al
views of the surf at Laupahoehoe and
is arranging for a series of interest
ing pictures in and near Hilo. Upon
his return Mr.. Bonnie will stop off at
Maui for the purpose of taking photo
graphs of the Puunene Mill, lao VAL
ley and the crater of Haleakala.
There are three moving pictures
which in my opinion will prove OF
greater interest to the general public
on the mainland than all others.
LIST: Surf board riding at Waikiki.
End: A fleet of canoes coming in over
the surf at Waikiki.
Srd: Procession of pau riders.
While many other pictures will be
| attractive and interesting, these three
are the ones which will unquestionably
be sold and used wherever moving PIC
lures are shown throughout the United
| States, and 1t is TO be hoped that the
promises of the members of the Pau
| Society to get up a special parade on
July 4th, may be fulfilled otherwise Mr..
Bonine's trip to Hawaii at this time
would be unfortunate.
CALIFORNIA GIRLS.

having a pleasant time In the city.
