Hawaii by the steamship Alameda

Our hotels are receiving requests for
special reservations by every man.
The best boarding houses about town
have been doing a good business right
along and every indication favors a
large tourist travel to Hawaii during
the next three or four months.
Each steamer to the Coast has car
ried many hundreds Of folders descrlp-
tive of Hawaii and that this branch or
the Promotion COMMITTEES work Is
having its effect is evidenced Dy the
constantly increasing number or IN
quiries.
One of the largest passenger move
ments westward this year VIII De
brought about by the Christian En-
deavor Convention to be held in Seattle
next July. Not only the members OF
that strong organization but thousands
of others will take advantage or the
low rates and visit the Pacific Coast
at that time. We have succeeded IN
inducing different Transcontinental
Railway Lines 10 include mention OF
Hawaii in all the matter they are
sending out in reference to excursion
to the Seattle convention, and we are
now trying to get the general secre-
tary of the Christian Endeavor Assoc
citation to mention the attractions or
a trip to Hawaii in all the advertising
matter sent out from the Boston office
This winter viii see more people in
Honolulu from the Northwest than
ever before We are also getting more
stoD overs from New Zealand and Aus
tralia.
The retail business Of the city al
| ready feels the benefit Of the many
thousands of dollars that are being
left here by our visitors, and can safe
" count upon a steady and permanent
increase in the volume OF tourist traf-
fic as the months go by.
Respectfully submitted.

Secretary.
| George ". Smith, from the commit
tee on legislation, presented report IN
which was suggested a change IN the
method of drawing juries IN the Ter
ritory. The report recommended that
| the request be made upon the Bar As
| ISOLATION TO take such action as would
prevent hardship to firms and corpor-
atoms through a number of the en-
ployes being drawn at the same time
and to prevent, if possible, the custom
of drawing the same men upon sue
cessive juries.
W. R. Castle asked Mr.. Smith il be

number Of men to be taken out Of
| any one store. To this Mr.. Smith re-
| piled that as his business exempted

yond what he had previously stated
Mr.. Gait remarked that there should

i Mr. Spalding remarked that the Law
seemed to he top-heayy and the Bar
H Association might balance it al their
next meeting. Mr. Bowen spoke IN the
same strain and the report was finally
ordered filed.
Agreeablv with request from the

for last year had been paid over and
it is up to the treasurer 70 pay over
that for the present year.
There was very little doubt in the
minds Of the trustees as 70 their re
sponsibility IN the matter but Mr.

before the Legislature and persuade
that body, if possible, 70 appropriate
the sum Of money necessary TO main
