A meeting of the Oahu committee of
reception to the visiting Congressman
was held yesterday afternoon in the
rooms of the Promotion Committee and
plans were made for the entertainment
of the visitors when they return from
Hawaii There will be two important
trips to be made. The first is to Pearl
Harbor and will be made on the Tro-
quois, which will take the party down
and back, though arrangements will be
made so that any who do not wish to
go by boat will make the journey by
train. Here the party will be enter
tanned by Messrs Fred and Clarence
farlane residence and the various
points of interest In the harbor will be
shown them.
The second trip, which will be on
Tuesday. May 2s, will be to Haleiwa
and wahiawa. The party viii go down
by special train, reaching the hotel in
time for lunch at about 1:30 The af-
ternoon will be spent looking over the
Waialua plantation and the evening
passed according to arrangements
which will be made by the reception
committee at Waialua.
Early Wednesday morning the Auto
mobile Club will be on hand at Halei-
wa and take the party to Wahiawa
where the dam will be inspected and
the pineapple industry shown to the
visitors. A special object of this trip
will be to show the visitors the 1900
acre military reservation which has
been taken by the government and OF
which it is hoped a large part will be
returned to the Territory as it is per-
haps the best land in the entire sec
tion. The party can come back to Ho-
nolulu either in the autos or on train
and should arrive at about 1.30.
The committee decided that they
would make no attempt to arrange for
Memorial Day services as this matter
would be looked after by the local
ito waialua will be under the auspi-
.ces OF the Planters Association, as it
IS felt that after seeing sugar cane on
all the other islands, some showing
should be made on Oahu in order that
the visitors may not think there Is
nothing of the sort here.

ranged from the time the Congressional
