Gentlemen: The Photographic exhibit
proving such a success and attracting
SO many people to the rooms of the
committee, it occurred to me that it
would be a splendid thing for Hawaii

could be exhibited at Seattle during
the Alaska Yukon-Pacific Exposition,
to be held in 1909. To bring this about
I have addressed a letter to Mr.. I. A.
Nadeau, the director general of the ex-
position, suggesting that the exposition
authorities endeavor to arrange for
competitive Photographic exhibits dur
ing 1908 in every state and territory of
the Union; the successful exhibitors 20
