SECRETARY WOODS REPORT
SHOWS CONTINUED SUCCESS IN
HAWAII PROMOTION WORK.

The following is Secretary Woods
report to the Promotion Committee for
the current week
Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen BY each mail we con-
tinue to receive marked papers and
clippings showing that the different
articles we have sent out referring to
happenings in Hawaii are being wide
ly and generally published.
In order to secure for the Santa Fe
Railway an up-to-date map of the
business section and water front of
Honolulu to be inserted in their new
official wall map we have enlisted the
assistance of the Department of Public
Works. Mr.. SouthwoTth is now az
work making an accurate reduction of
the large maps in the department ana
we expect to forward the matter by
next mail We will also see that
this compilation is filed with the lead
ing map makers of the country in or
der that their publications may be
brought down to date.
BY the last mail we received a COM
munication from the director of the
Intelligence Department of New South
Wales acknowledging receipt of our
letter of recent date and Offering to
display our photographs and distribute
folders descriptive of Hawaii at Sydney
and elsewhere throughout that portion
of Australia.
A letter received last mail from Mr..
E. J. Coyle, Assistant General Pas
senger Agent of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, states that in compliance
with our request he has sent out spe-
cial notices to the agents of their rail-
way throughout Alaska and Western
Canada urging them to use every eff
fort to turn travel toward Hawaii
Photographs of decorated automo-
biles participating in the February
22nd parade have been sent to Atlantic
City and are now being prominently
displayed with the object of popular
izing the floral carnival which will be
! held there during the month of August.
| Hawaiis annual Floral Fete is thus
getting to be more and more widely
known.
The Chamber of Commerce of San
! Diego, California, is deeply interested
| in trying to get the Alameda to sail
on a special trip to laval out of
that port and hopes to be able to ar
range such a trip within the next few
months.
The Secretary Of the Seattle Cham.
Der of Commerce writes under date OF
June %, that they are now negotiating
with the Pacific Coast Steamship Co
for the charter of the President, which
is undoubtedly one of the best adapted
vessels in Pacific waters for such {
trip. A part of the letter is as fol
lows:
Il cannot now see any reason why
we should not pull off a very success
full excursion to the islands in Janu
airy or February next We do moi
contemplate including in this eXcur
sion any people other than business
men and their wives and families. 1
is probable that we will extend to the
Chambers of Commerce in such cite.
as Spokane, Tacoma and Bellinghan
an invitation to have their commune
ties represented,
The officers of this chamber were
much gratified at the reception which
Senator Piles received in Honolulu
and his speeches and interviews both
here and there have served to pave
the way for this excursion, in fact,
have no doubt that we can bring not
less than $50 and in all probability 200
people to the islands next winter"
Respectfully submitted,
II. P. WOOD,
Secretary.
