Chart tered

The good news that two steamers
have been chartered for the Homo
lulu-San Pedro route Is the most inn
portant statement made by Secre-
tary Wood in the report which he
has prepared to submit to the Pro-
motion Committee ut It's meeting this
afternoon. Now that the passenger
facilities of this port have been Sc
riously hampered by the withdrawal
of the Oceanic boats. this Is Of cspe-
cial importance. The report reads
IN full as follows:
by the S. $. China Mr.. Frank
Virgins, secretary OF the Los Ange-
les Chamber of Commerce, forwarded
a list of the passengers on the excur-
sion steamer Ohio, a copy of which
has been placed on our bulletin
boardN

Chamber of Commerce has Just re-
ceived information that two steam
ers have been chartered for line
between San Pedro and Honolulu.
but the name of the company that
held for the present.
Mr.. Gregor Noetzel writes that the
new lot of Charts of THE Cross
Roads of the Pacific" have been ship
ped. These contain some data omit
ted from the first lot and are printed
on special paper having rods top and
bottom, so as to admit of their use
In Offices without framing.
Regarding these maps the maker
writes as follows
ITO assure you of the accuracy of
your chart. | will say that I had all
distances officially established. They
were first computed by the values of
the minutes In such ATTITUDES through
which the tracks pass and then were
checked by actual measurement by
means of our GnOmonic Charts
which were designed by our Office
some years ago and upon which any
track can be closely measured. The
greatest difference between 'COmpu-
tation and the 'Gnomonic' measure
ment occurred from Honolulu to Ma
Mia and presented only three miles.
"All these distances have been en-
tered upon the Archive Records of
the photographic Office of the Navy
Department at Washington, which
VIII therefore never publish any
hi nD 1iGniiIn thn Ia,
your Chart of The Cross Roads of
the Pacific"
"A letter from Mr.. BONNIE, written
at New Orleans where he was Just
about to embark for Panama, states
that before he left Orange, New Jer-
sey, the Edison Company had dispos-
ed OF some twenty complete sets of
their Hawaiian films, some of which
are now going the rounds In Europe
and the rest of them circulating
through the States, all doing good
missionary work for Hawaii.
Mr. Bonnie states further that he
has secured special outfit and hopes
to be In Hawaii again about May LIST
w Jake more pictures ana to show all
OF the films secured on his last trip.
Clippings from the Los Angeles
papers, concerning their Chamber of
Commerce excursion, indicate the
very wide publicity the event is 60
ing to receive, Independent of the
thousands of letters that will be
sent out by members of the party to
their friends the world over,
The plans of the Joint Entertain
ment Committee of the Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce and Mer-
chants Association are suSs as to
assure our visitors from Southern
California of most cordial recep-
lion and very pleasant time while
in Honolulu.
Respectfully submitted
