great thinkers and progressive men.
Each meeting has seen some member
or representative of our Chamber pres
ent. AT the annual meeting this year
we were represented by w. r. Castle,
Jr., Assistant Dean of Harvard Uni
versity, whose report is awaited with
interest.
The next annual meeting of the
Trans Mississippi Commercial Congress
will be held at Muskogee, Oklahoma,
November 18th, 1907. This yearly nom
political convention of live western
men has much to DO in shaping nation
al legislation as it affects western IN
terests. Latterly Hawaii has not been
directly represented at these annual
meetings. The Chamber of Commerce,
however, has authorized the appofnt-
nent of a delegate to the coming con-
vention and it is hoped that we may
find some one of our members, whose
duties will permit his accepting the APP
nointment. so as to secure the friend
ship and influence of the united West
for such measures of Importance as we
believe should be advocated at Wash
ington.
In evidence of it's deep interest in the
Alaska Yukon-Pacifc Exposition, to be
held at Seattle, Washington, during
the summer and fall of 1909, strong
resolution endorsing the project was
passed by your board of trustees. at
tested copies being sent to the Director
of the Exposition. The management
of this great project proposes giving
more space and attention to Hawaii
than has been accorded by any pre-
vious exposition; in fact an effort was
made at the last session of Congress
and will be renewed next December to
secure an appropriation from the gen.
eraI government large enough to pro-
vide for a Hawaii building.
Honolulu is destined to play a very
important part in the development OF
the Pacific and as the years go by
the duties and responsibilities of our
Chamber of Commerce will increase
materially While the general govern
1nent may be expected to do all that
is needful in order to create a great
naval base at Pearl Harbor providing
for necessary Qualifications, etc, which
will mean the expenditure of many
millions of dollars, the Chamber of
Commerce should carefully study the
needs of the different ports of the
islands and do it's utmost to secure
funds necessary for harbor improve
ments. Additional lighthouses are al
SO needed for the proper safeguarding
of commerce. In fact the Chamber
should consider that it is it's duty to
be ever on the alert to protect and
foster the interests of not simply Ho-
nolulu alone but the entire Territory
of Hawaii
In conclusion permit me to express
my qualification at the decided increase |
in the membership of the Chamber |
during the present year and to thank |
my fellow trustees for their confidence
and support.
Respectfully submitted,
(Sig.) w. NJ. GIFFARD,

merce.

Following the disturbance of bust
ness conditions on the Coast caused
by the terrible confagratiOn at San
Francisco on April 18th, 1906, a strong
effort was made by Seattle and Port
land to enter into closer business re-
latiOns with our merchants.
In pursuance of this plan Mr.. W. A.
Mears. chairman of the Transporta-
ton Committee of the Portland Cham
Der of Commerce, visited Hawaii, and
on August goth, 1906, a hearing was
given the gentleman at a joint meet
ing of the Merchants Association and
Chamber of Commerce. Considerable
interest was created in the efforts of
the Portland Chamber of Commerce at
the time. but owing to the withdrawal
of the "Matson" line shortly after Mr..
Mears returned to the mainland, bust
ness with Portland was practically
abandoned.

There is more Catarrh in this sec

diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed TO be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced 1t local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced 1t incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarh Cure, manufactured by
f. ]. Cheney G Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
