is as follows:
Fullerton, Cal, May 26, 1906.
Dear Sir: AT a meeting of the exec.
| utive committee held in Los Angeles
May 10, it was decided to 90 to Homo
lulu on the steamship Alameda, leav-
ing San Francisco Sept. !, arriving
| Honolulu Sept. Z. Returning, leave
| Honolulu Sept. Is on steamship Sonoma,
| arrive San Francisco Sept. 81. This
| Will give us ten days on the Islands.
The Oceanic Steamship Co., through
| It's General Passenger Agent, L. f..
| Cockroft, has made the low rate of only
sou cash for the round trip for each
| person. The regular rate is $135. This
| Is very reasonable, as it includes twelve
| days board and frstclass tickets (first
| cabin). When your secretary took the
| matter of transportation up with Mr.
Cockroft he stated he would not ask the
editors to pay the remainder in display
advertising, believing that all would
write up the trip.
1t is the intention Of the Hawaii Pro-
| motion Committee, the Oceanic Steam
| ship Co. and your executive committee
to make this the best trip in the history
of the association. No editorial asso-
ciation has ever visited Hawaii and as
the people over there are known to be
hospitable and royal entertainers
I Program on Steamer.-As our party
| VIII be on the steamship several DAYS.
| business sessions win be held and a long
program consisting of papers on adver-
tising, subscriptions local and editorial
work, fields of the daily and weekly
newspaper, and many other subjects of
interest to the craft, will be prepared.
Discussions will follow each paper or
tally tbarn nil I, d.
into full details of newspaper work in
general. There will also be musical
and social program.
Don t Be Afraid of Seasickness.-W
are to have the best accommodations
ON one of the best steamships on the
Pacific and it is a pleasant 200O-mile
trip to Honolulu all the year round. .
Take Your Wife.-Every member is
urged to take his wife along-otherwise
he may have to stand trial in kanga-
roo court with j. p. Baumgartner as
judge and w. c. Hogaboom as prose-
cutting attorney, and they say there will
be no jury trial. Now, if you go, take
your wife-she will enjoy the trip just
as well as "the old man. Don t for
get that. If you are not married, you
will never have better opportunity for
a honeymoon trip-get busy, and join
the party on the grandest trip ever
taken in the West.
Number Is Limited.-The number is
limited to sixty persons; if You are GO
ing, make application at once. You
need not send the 500 until about the
first of August. Do not make applica-
tion for reservation of berth unless you

at home who is anxious to go.
The Volcano Trip-lt will take five
days to make this trip and the regular
rate is $37, which includes steamship
tickets, meals, berths, stage tickets and
meals mt the hotel while there. Secre-
tary Wood writes us that he has been
assured of half rate or less. Those
; who do not care to make this trip may
remain in Honolulu and spend the time
sightseeing but all are urged to 90.
. EXpenses.-The trip to Honolulu will
i not be expensive, 500 to Honolulu and
: return: say about $17 for the volcano
trip, and $3.50 day American plan or
81 a day for room or 50 for room with
{, bath European plan, while in the city.

duced rates.
