ing in accordance with instructions
from the committee, visited the lead

interest Of tourist travel to Hawaii,
every point A direct result of this
trip has been an earnest effort on the
part Of the citizens of Los Angeles,
Portland and Seattle to work up ex-
cursions to Hawaii, the latest in
formation being 10 the effect that the
plans would in all probability mater
ialize sometime during February OF
March provided suitable steamship ac-
commodation could be secured A
cablegram just received states that the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
Excursion Committee has chartered
steamer TO sail from San Pedro Feb
ruary 23rd.

any measure in which we were par

depended upon.
