SHIPPED, PINES
BACK TO DENVER
Promotion Committee Hears
News From Fruit Sent
to Chicago.

Several matters of interest were TAX.
en- UP by the Promotion Committee al
its meeting yesterday, the most inter.
esting of all, perhaps, being the fact
that the pineapples sent to Chicago
had been shipped back to Denver and
We're still in fine condition when they
arrived. There were a few small bills
orderea paid and the business trans
acted Mas mainly routine.
Mes#s. Waldron, Lucas, Wood and
Mclean were present at the meeting
They were addressed by DR.. sperry
who lectured last night at the Opera
House. He explained the plans which
he had made in reference to the deliv-
cry of lectures on the Hawaiian Is
lands. ,
He has spent a week on Hawaii and
a week on Maui besides his stay in
this city, and in this time has taken
many photographs of various scenes in
the Islands, which he will use in stere-
oscOpic views and also for lantern
slides, which will be sold for lectures
all over the United States. DR.. Sperry
stated that he had just returned from
a trip through New Zealand and Aus
tralia and that he would probably
group those places with Hawaii in a
lecture, giving this Territory, with its
beautiful scenery. and many wonders of
nature, the place of honor.
He spoke interestingly of the work
which had been done by the Northern
Pacific Railroad in it's advertising of
Yellowstone Park, saying that while 1t
seemed at first that the woriz.was hav-
ing no effect it was now beginning to
tell and that in the last season there
had been 10000 tourists there where
only three or four years ago 5000 was
considered large number. He stated
that he would not be able to get the
information which he had gathered in
this Territory into shape till about
February, when he would commence
the delivery of lectures on Hawaii be-
fore Y. NJ. C. AS. and other associa-
tions and bodies throughout the main
land.
The following letter from w. o.
Aiken of Maui was read and Mr.. Wood
stated that he believed that his Maui
trip had done a great deal of good
and that it's effect would be noticed
later:

nent of the trip.
