Hawaii. We are indebted to Mr.. T
c. Peck. the General Passenger Agent
of the road, for this courtesy, and by
means of this advertisement, viii
reach a section OF country where We
have not done much work, hitherto

We have arranged for a first exhi'
bition of these pictures before the
members of the Los Angeles Chamber
of Commerce A Hawaiian glee club
will be present. All of the leading
daily papers viii be represented and we
may expect some nice writeups. Our
work in Los Angeles is proving effec-
tive and in fact, throughout all of
Southern California, we now have many
=. fflp1T Y
to talk of beautiful Hawaii.
Our enlarged photographs of Ha-
waiian scenery have been distributed
as follows:
Six at Los Angeles, three at San
Francisco, three at Yellow Stone Park
hotels. one at Vancouver, one at Banff.
We have two more on hand, one
of which will be placed in the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship company's office
at San Francisco, the other is for the
new Empress Hotel at Victoria, B. c.,
which will be opened about October /.
We could use many more of these
attractive pictures placing them in
different parts of the world to our
distinct advantage for there are no
finer Photographic engagements made.
During the past three months we
have been very fortunate in securing
the publication of many articles re-
ferring to Hawaii, in hundreds of
papers throughout the United States
and Canada, articles descriptive of
May Day in Hawaii; the arrival of
the "Snark'; polo at Moanalua; the
doings of the Congressional party, ETC.,
etc.
During the period covered by this
report, we have issued a new edition of
10000 copies of our general folder
g Hawaii -; 10000 copies of FHawaii,
a Primer" and 10000 copies of the
Aloha postal folder.
A special fund of ten thousand,
($10,000), dollars is needed to provide
folders and other advertising matter
sufficient to carry US through the en-
suing fiscal year.
We should have, say:
100000 copies, General Folder "Ha-
waii''
10000 copies, Map Books contain
ing maps of all the islands.
10000 copies, Climatic folders.
10000 copies, "Hawaii, a Primer"

The work of the Promotion Commit
tee is now on a sound basis; results
are accommodating, the prospects are
brighter than ever and it is hoped that
the business interests of the community
may be even more liberal in their
support in the future than during the
past. We can not afford to let up
for an instant in our work.
Respectfully submitted,
