ture man. who was here last year,
wrote that after many unavoidable de-
lays his views of island life were
nearly ready for the projectoscope and
added that they have materialized
even better than he had anticipated.
THE BIG EXCURSION.
Frank Virgins. secretary of the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce. wrots
as follows:
! Los Angeles. Cal, Jan. IA, 1907.
Mr.. II. p. Wood, Secretary, Hawaii
Promotion Committee, Honolulu.
Dear Mr.. Wood: No doubt you think
| the information from this office has
been very meager relative to the pro-
| posed excursion TO Honolulu. To tell
you the truth, we have had a very I'M
satisfactory, unpleasant and unwar-
ranted experience all along the line.
We had the proffer of a vessel at one
time that promised to answer all of our
puIpoStSf Jul just 40 VIC Wtic iNooy W
| close with it, she was placed on one of
the regular runs.
We were then thrown on our own re-
sources and the North Pacific Steam
ship Co. came to our rescue with the
offer of the steamer Ohio, which will
carry 300 first-class passengers. We
are waiting to find out whether this
steamer will answer our purpose. We
have over two hundred people signed
up, and others waiting. The question
is, whether they will all stick when
they see the chart Of the vessel. 1t
Is unfortunate that there is not on the
Coast a more modern vessel that is
acceptable.
What we wish to have now is a
schedule of prices of land excursions.
and with 1t the cost to go from the
wharf at Hilo to the crater of the vol
cano. We take it that the schedule
sent us is from Honolulu, and not from
Bilo 1 would also like to know What
the facilities are for landing at Hilo.
Is there a wharf there, or do We have
to lighter? Ai
We figure that the trip will consume
at least seven days each way, leaving
eleven days in port or visiting other
islands.
Do you suppose 1t would be possible
to secure a storeroom for an exhibition
of manufactured material and products
of this country that could be used on
the islands? If SO. at what price for
the short time we are there? 1t might
be that arrangements could be made
so that we could leave it there for a
while, at least. Our object in this ex-
cursion is to open up trade between
the two points and eventually start
line of steamers.
1 hope in a few days to be able to
send you full particulars of the num-
Der of people and the personnel that
will be landed at your port. One hitch
with the steamship people is the pose
| sibility of not being able to lie at the
wharf during our stay there. Are there
any wharves available for such pur-
pose?
With many kind regards, / am. yours
very truly, FRANK WIGGINS,
Secretary.
| Mr.. Virgins will be informed there is
plenty of wharf room here and at Hilo
and a schedule of wharf charges will
be forwarded to further emphasize this
|
fact.
| Regarding room for the exhibition,
| the premises recently occupied by VIII
q. Fisher, at the corner of Fort and
Queen street, are at present under
consideration.
S. S. OHIO IN DEMAND.
The following communication, which
was read, shows that there is a pos
sibility of the S. S. Ohio becoming
quite frequent visitor to this port:
January 10, 1907.
DR.. Charles Bryant Cooper, Honolulu,
Hawaii.
My Dear Doctor: You write me that
you have booked for the Pacific Mail
liner arriving about May l. May 1 not
make a suggestion? Why not all Of you
who plan coming wait until you see the
ship which is to carry the Chamber "
Commerce excursion from here, ana
see If an excursion for it may not be
had? The Ohio is bigger than the Ala
media, $50 feet long by 40 feet beam,
and you will have your own ship, to
come right here and then go home.
I believe you could make 800 rounl
trip rate, with not less than ten days
here landing within electric car reach
of this city. This steamer is believed
to be good enough for use by the
Chamber of Commerce Committee,
which means stay of rs days on ship
board.
II a committee will approach this
company here, 1 know it will mean
fine rate. / may be with this company
and would watch out carefully for your
interests here.
With best wishes to my friends. be-
'lieve me,
Very truly yours,
(Signed) e. M. BOYD.
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS.
A letter from S. Bonan, New York
importer, asking for the date of the
opening of Honolulu fair, was read.
An offer of the back page for ad-
vertising purposes. in the New York
Commercials Forthcoming Hawaiian
edition, was refused owing to financial
stringency.
EXCURSIONISTS' RECEPTION.
In as much as the Los Angeles ex-
cursion calls at Eilo first, the Chamber
of Commerce will probably jog the
Hiloites on the subject of a fitting re-
ceDtion IL was felt that the commit
