Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen: Among other letters
received by the China was one from
the Crowell Pubnsning Company, stat
ing that Jack London's article on Surf |
Bathing in Hawaii would probably APP
pear in the October number of the !
"Women's Home Companion" The |
circulation OF this monthly is consid-
erably in excess of half million CO.
pies, which means that the article |
will be seen by at least three millions !
of people, who will thus have their at |
tention drawn to this great sport and
the delights of sea-bathing in Hawaii
an waters, which, 1 feel assured, Mr.. !
London will say cannot be duplicated
the world over Surf riding in Hawaii
is apparently attracting a great deal
of attention. A letter just received
from a prominent English Magazine
writer, to whom we recently sent a
number of photographs, asks for ad-
ditional data and offers to pay for
some special pictures for an article he
is now working up. We are still run
ming the cuts of canoe surfing in our
advertisements in Cooks and Raymond
and Whitcomb's travel magazines.
Mr.. Rurus P. Jennings, of the Cali
fornia Promotion Committee, writes
that his organization may be relied
upon to do what it can to assist Mr..
Higgins, of the Hawaii Agricultural
Station, in giving publicity to his eff
forts to introduce our mangoes, alliga-
tor pears, papaias, etc, into the Cali
fornia market.
Rev Henry l. Stark writes that he
is in receipt of additional lantern
slides. This eloquent speaker is now
in Southern California. He had ar
ranged to deliver his illustrated lee
tuTe on Hawaii at Los Angeles August
5th and afterwards at San Diego. The
reverend gentleman writes that he
finds everywhere a great interest in
the islands
A prominent hotel manager of Bos-
ton, who spent a couple of months
here last winter, states that it was the
most unfortunate trip he ever made;
he can no longer content himself in
New England and breads the prospect
of another winter. He says further:
81 never tire of praising the attrac-
lions of Hawaii even at the risk or be-
ing a little tedious and I would like &c
be with you once more and enjoy the
most delightful, Ito mel, climate in
the world"
This gentleman is so situated as tc
do us a lot of good and will undoubt-
eddy be instrumental in turning many
people this way.

his lectures on Hawaii have an aver
age, daily attendance of from rs to 100

folders is growing and says that tn
relief maps of Hawaii and Oahu prov
of great interest. The principal at
