hand. I have received a letter from a
man in Denver, who said he had a
case of our pines shipped him from
Chicago: that they are the finest pines
that have ever reached the Denver
market, and that he wants more OF
them.
Yours truly,
JARED G. SMITH,
Special Agent in Charge.
Mr.. Wood mentioned the fact that
the California Promotion Committee
was doing everything in it's power to
help in the work here and stated that
the cordial relations were being
cemented by the feeling promoted by
the Pacific Commercial Advertiser, an
instance of which was mentioned in
the following letter, received by him
from Rufus Jennings:
San Francisco, September %, 1907.
Mr.. H. P Wood, Secretary, Hawaii
Promotion Committee, Honolulu.

My Dear Mr. Wood: I want to thank
you for the copy of the Pacific Com
mercial Advertiser sent me recently. 1t
was with much satisfaction that l saw
the illustrations of buildings being
erected in San Francisco, published so
prominently in the paper. This is the
sort of work that counts and is APP
preciated. L hope that the Hawaiian
journals will make a practise of set
ting forth conditions of San Francisco
and California in the true light.
With regards, I am
Cordially yours,
RUFUS JENNINGS,
Chairman.
A letter from Mr. Childs, the COM
mittee's agent at Los Angeles, was
read, in which he stated that he was
working hard on the proposition of an
excursion from that city by the Sierra
during the coming season. The Oceanic
company, he said, wanted $4,000 for
the steamer to make a trip down here
of not less than twenty-four days. This
would mean a trip making stop of
three days at Hilo and of a week in
this city. The prices for accommoda-
tons would range from 5000 to $3.50
apiece, for the trip, the difference be-
ing in the rooms on board the vessel.
At this rate it would mean that 225
tourists would be necessary for the
trip to be a success financially.
The members of the committee SEEM
ed to be, of the opinion that the price
asked for the charter of the vessel was
rather high, as she had been offered at
lower rate several times before. No
action was taken on the matter, which
will be left in the hands of Mr.. Childs
for the present.
A letter was received from Jess
Woods, asking that the Promotion
Committee take charge of the enter
tainment of the baseball team which
is TO come from the Coast next month.
The committee could not see the mat
ter in the same light as Woods, and
the secretary was instructed to reply
to his letter, stating that there were
no funds available for such purposes.
The committee all were agreed on the
fact that the coming of the Coast team
was a good thing and that it should
have the moral support of the COM
mittee but when it came to cash it
was another matter.
Secretary Woods will leave for Ha-
wall by steamer today and will return
on the Mauna Loa next Friday. On
that account the regular weekly meet
ing will take place on Friday instead
Of Thursday of next week.
The weekly letter of Secretary Wood
was as follows:
Honolulu, October 10, 1907
Chairman and Members, Hawaii Pro
motion Committee.
Gentlemen: I am pleased to report
that Doctor L. B. Sperry of Oberlin,
Ohio, who has now been some time in
he Islands, is busily at work securing
extended data for his forthcoming IL
lecture on Hawaii. The doc

Is we'll as an interesting speaker and
will, I feel assured, prove of great help
n the future in presenting an attrac-
i've picture of what Hawaii has to
,ffer the tourist and home seeker, to
many thousands of people on the MAIN
and who today have but little in
