COMING To
HAWA||-NE|
Los Angeles and Other
Coast Excursions
Discussed.

The coming Los Angeles excursion
was the principal topic of discussion
of the meeting of the Promotion Com'
mittee yeterday. Not much other pusl'
ness was done, the encouraging re-
ports from Los Angeles and the read
tho of letters from those working up
the excursion at that end OF the ilne
keening the attention of the commit
tee,nen to the one point. All OF the
letters told of the enthusiasm being
shown in the trip by the steamer ioao
of people who were coming, and some
of the writer's asked that rooms a.
shore be engaged for them while they
were here. evidently having decided
that their steamer stateroom wouldn't
do for Honolulu.
Mrs weatherred wrote concerning
the excursion party she is bringing TO
Hawaii this month. Among her par
ty will be Miss Mary Adele Case a
Young vocalist of great promise, who
will probably give a song recital IN
Honolulu during her visit. Mrs.
weatherred makes mention also of an
other proposed excursion to Hawaii
from Victoria, to leave at the close OF
the Alaska and Yukon Exposition
It. G.. I.yster, cashier of the Aspen,
Colorado. State Bank, who is one OF
Hawaifs greatest friends in the Noun
tain State. writes to the committee ex-
pressing his regret that he has to re-
main i'm the snow when he knows that
in Hawaii is summer. In default of
being able to come he asks the COM
mittee to deliver an order for some
Hawaiian pineapples for him to be sent
to Aspen.
SEATTLE IS HELPING.
The Secretary of the Seattle Cham-
Der of Commerce reported that then
delegation at Congress had been urged
to assist the Hawaiian delegation IN
securing the necessary appropriations
for harbor improvements in Hawaii.
He also said he would be glad to SPEAK
to the local representatives OF the
Christian Endeavor Society and ask
ther, to say few words about Hawaii
in any matter they may be sending
out in connection with the coming con-
lvention they are to hold in Seattle.
SECRETARY WOODS REPORT.
The regular report of Secretary
Wood, showing the work of his office
for the week, was as follows:
Il have to report that, since com.
mencing our work for the excursion
from Los Angeles, we nave kept Up
reeular correspondence with each
member of the Los Angeles Chamber
of Commerce Excursion Committee.
and other friends throughout Southern
California, sending hundreds of clip
pings from our local papers so rs to
keep up and increase interest and have
tried not to neglect any opportunity
that might serve to help out the vi,
dertaking, believing that as a direct
result of this excursion, the attrac-
lions of Hawaii will be brought di-
rectly to the attention of the thou~
sands of eastern people, who are &c,
customed to spending their winters in
Southern California, and have at pres
ent little or no knowledge of the rleasA
ures of a trip to Hawaii
IT am convinced that the special ef,.
forts the Committee is putting forth
in Los Angeles at the present time
ana the plan Oh Cdf1ipdISH IIIdPpSu Ooe
for the remainder of the winter months
will obtain better results than could
be accomplished by the expenditure of
as many thousands east of the Rock
les as we shall spend hundreds IN
Southern California.
