to the commercial features of the ex-
thing for him to take hold of, the SELL
ing of things. He had been sold HIM
self over and over again all the way
| here. Judge Bosbyshen here told a
| Missouri story, which elected great
| mirth, to illustrate what he thought of
| Honolulu hospitality. In the past Los
| Angeles had not very intimate rela-
lions with any other city than San
Francisco, but the present occasion
gave promise Of something different.
He believed that if the people here
assured some Of their sugar freight a
| regular line of steamers between
| Southern California and Hawaii could
| be organized within six months. Los
Angeles was growing rapidly. 1t was
! one of the leading cities of the Pacific
| Coast and aimed at nothing less than
to be the leading city. He thought
no city could show a more rapid
| growth than had Los Angeles within
| the past few years. mo pent-up
Utica contracts our powers. a whole
unbound continent is ours and the
next place we are going to grasp is
Hawaii.
| Mr.. Allies paid a compliment to the
press of Hawaii, as he called on the
| representatives of the three Honolulu
dailies present for remarks.
THE NEWSPAPER MEN.
w. r. Harrington of the Bulletin
| told of his observations of the Los
Angeles visitors on their arrival at
Hilo, attended with a shower Of
| oranges, and on their trip to the vol
cano, some incidents as he described
them causing great mirth. An OBJ
servers remark on a kicker at Htlo
convulsed the company: You Los
Angeles people just skin a tourist
alive, but whenever you think you are !
oyercharged a dime you holler.' This |
excursion party was just one point
better than the Southern California |!
Editorial Association. Los Angeles |
was not the only city Mr.. Wood visit |
ed and invited, but Los Angeles was |
the only city that just got UP and |
came down here. The speaker was
particularly glad to see them having |
G, good time, as he had the opportunity |
of witnessing some of their troubles
as well as their pleasures.
Daniel Logan of the Advertiser, |
while joining his confreres in offer
ing the greetings of the press, in ODE
dence to the suggestion of the toast
master discussed the commercial sig
nificance of the Los Angeles excursion
and hoped the time was not distant
when there would be enough traffic for
a steamship line from the north as
well as the south of San Francisco.
Chas. l. Rhodes of the Star said our
satisfaction in their being here was
only their satisfaction in having been
here. He hoped they did have a good
time. He quoted the remark a lady
made to him once when he was about
leaving for California "Oh, how nice; |
you are going to Los Angeles Ito
show how the people of that city re-
gard Los Angeles as all California.
Concluding he reiterated the welcome
of Hawaii and earnestly bespoke an
increase of the intimacy with Southern
California SO happily inaugurated.
C. G. JOHNSON HEARD.
G. G. Johnson was called on as a
real estate man of Los Angeles. He
was reminded by the remarks of the
pressmen of a saying common in the
old crinoline days, that the world was
ruled by the pulpit, the press and the
petticoat. With humorous reference
to the volcano. which suggested to him
that the prices of real estate should be
raised, he eloquently spoke of the en-
joyment the islands had afforded them
from the hour of their arrival. He
could only have wished that the days
here We're tWenty-four hours of day
light for ever since they had come
he had felt there were tWenty-four
hours of enjoyment to every day. Mr.
johnson concluded with an invitation
to the people of Honolulu to return the
visit of the Los Angeles people. He
quoted the lines
1.-THE longest days in June they say,
The shortest in December.
They did not come to me that way
The shortest I remember
You came and spent the day with me,
And filled my heart with laughter.
The longest day, you went away
The very next day after"
CONCLUDING REMARKS.
r. Fl. Trent, being called on for
money in allusion to his county
treasurership, responded with a comical
medley of Honoiulus dialects formed
into a greeting, which ended the
speechmaking but for a few eloquent
closing remarks by the postmaster.
Mr.. Allies, whose introductions OF
other speakers were gems of speech,
summed up the sentiments of the hosts
of the evening and concluded by invit-
ing the Honolulu people to visit Los
Angeles. I'VE viii try to give you
the Hawaiian word Aloha" was his
parting salute.
Mr. Heron proposed three cheers for
Honolulu, which the Los Angelenos
gave with resounding vim, and at Mr..
Farrington's proposal the compliment
was vigorously returned by the Homo
lulanS.
Then the party adjourned to the par
