building where one party or another
had fired into it from beyond the sur

story of the showing of a white flag
on one occasion. This was a time when
the man who stuck his head out of the
door to raise the flag took his life in
his hands. Finally one more courage

Secretary A. L. C. Atkinson entered
the room and was introduced all
around and to him was delegated the
pleasant task of conducting the party
through the new Archives building.
ARCHIVES INSPECTED.
On the front steps of the Capitol
building the Californians, including
Governor Carter, Secretary Atkinson
and members of the local committee.
gathered and had their picture taken
by an Advertiser photogra pher. The
party then went across the lawn to the
Archives building. Here they were
greeted by Territorial Archivist r. c.
Lydecker. In an adjoining room to the
office the visitors found perhaps one
of the most interesting displays of
public documents they ever have or will
behold. They were the original treaty
documents of European and Oriental
countries with the old monarchy of
Hawaii, bearing the original sigma
lures of the rulers of these countries.
Among them was a treaty from Eng
land bearing the signature of Victoria
and having attached the great seal of
Great Britain, reposing in a silver
casket. Another was from Sweden
bearing the signature of Oscar, the seal
enclosed in a silver box. Another was
from Francis Joseph, Emperor of Aus
tria, and many dated far back into the
last century. There was an original
letter signed by Vancouver the great
explorer. The first printed laws of Ha-
wall were exposed. Altogether it was
an interesting collection Governor Car
ter explaining the documents one by
one.

A special electric car conveyed the
party to the Moana Hotel where Mine

During the course of the lunch an
address of welcome was made by Edi-
tor Harrington of the Bulletin, inter
it was the first time that an organiza-
ton of this kind had ever come to the
islands and he hoped for great things
and hoped that others would follow.
He gave the watchword OF the Homo
lulu newspapers-i'Love one another"
Mr.. Holt of the Evening Outlook OF
Santa Monica responded. He said the
Southern California Editorial Asso-
citation wished to extend it's heartfelt
thanks to the people of Honolulu for
the magnificent spread then under dis
cussion. From what they had already
seen of Honolulu he felt sure that there
were several newspapers in Southern
California that would now be offered
for sale.
THANKS HONOLULU PEOPLE.
THE people of Honolulu" he con-
tinued. have certainly extended a well
come we could not have expected any
where else. The Southern California
Editorial Association was organized for
the purpose of visiting various parts
of Southern California and for taking
annual outings. Everywhere they went
it was TO boost Southern California
and induce people to locate there. In
this instance the matter has been re-
yersed and I think the people of South
ern California will want to all come to
Honolulu.
Again. on behalf of the delegation,
I wish to thank the people of Honolulu
for their generous hospitality"
Rev. J. H. D. Browne also made
some remarks apropos to the joyous
occasion, and after some instructions
relative to the itinerary had been made
by Mr.. Harrington, and an invitation
extended by Hon. A. S. Cleghorn TO
visit his beautiful home "Ainahau" had
been accepted, the party arose. Others
at the luncheon besides the association
and committee were Bishop Restarick
and Lorrin A. Thurston.
AT BEAUTIFUL ''AINAHAU.
The walk through the grounds or
Ainahau TO the residence of Mr.. Cleg-
horn was a pleasant one. On the
lawn before the famous home Mr..
