vsrt-s-ments in Eastern magazines both =
weekly and monthly, in which reference
j. male % an article appearing in the
New York Herald Of January eth, 1906,
wherein occurs the following state
meut:
Stretching completely across the
Pacitc Is what may be termed the
Sunshine Belt. Here the sun shines
regularly, the trade winds blow gently,
there II very little rain and the seas
aTe never high. II is within this belt
that the Hawaiian Islands are located,
with their equabie climate and sub
tropical verdure."
The Trans-C Continental railways at
our request are also giving Hawaii lib
eraI mention in their regulation time
folders, the very best kind of adver-
tisiug
During the period covered by this
report a number of special letters were
sent out, this branch of our work hav-
ing been pushed vigorously. We have
in this way covered the entire North
west reaching every banker and teach
| er and before the end of the present
( quarter, will also have reached in the
same way throughout the Territory de-
seribed, every doctor, cattleman, miner,
az well as thousands of householders-
! II is most gratifying to be able to say
that We are already getting results and
that the outlook for tourist travel the
coming winter is Frightening daily.
The visit of the four young ladies.
from Southern California, following
close on the trip of the Oregon girls,
will prove of value as an advertise
ment, but the best piece of work ac-
complished by your committee during
the past quarter was the arranging for
an excursion to Honolulu by the Edi-
tOrial Association of Southern Cali
fornia which will leave San Francisco
the first of September. Already over
forty have booked for the trip and 1t Is
, probable that there will be between
sixty and seventy in the excursion.
A prominent newspaper man of Los
Angeles, who will be a member of the
I party, writes under date of June Goth:
81 can assure you / think of fine
delegation from Southern California of
men who do not as a rule attend these
trips. ! feel sure that if you desire it
later on, you can secure the National
! Editorial Association / might say
in passing that we are even now plan
ming to bring this about.
Some Of the leading papers eontem-
plate sending their photographers and
cartoonists. Hawaii will receive the
most extensive series of write-ups as
a result of this trip that we have ever
+ obtained It will come at a time too
when the publicity will prove of dis
tinct advantage in turning next win
ter's travel this way.
/ Another decided accomplishment on
the part Of your committee was induc-
ing the Edison Company of Orange,
New Jersey, to send its leading oper-
ator TO Hawaii to take a series of NOV
ing pictures. Mr.. X. X. Bonine, the
gentleman referred to, is now on the
island Of Hawaii where he has met with
splendid success. From Hawaii he will
go 70 Maui TO take a panoramic view
Of Haleakala, finishing up at Honolulu
with views Of canoe and surf boating,
street scenes, etc. Several of the de-
vcioped films are now on their way to
the factory and others will follow as
rapidly as completed. Before winter
sets 10 the Edison company will have
IN the neighborhOod Of 10000 feet of
Elm on the market which will be ex-
tensively advertised and will gndoubt-
cdly meet with ready sale. IL will
not be long, thereafter, before the resi-
dents ~ every village and city in the
United States a. well as across the At
lahtie VIII have the opportunity Of see
ing life IN Hawaii NJ shown on the
screen by moving pictures thus Great.
ieg more general interest in our beau
fifgi country than could be brought
shout In any other way.
During the three months Just passed
