Promotion Wood Expects Three
Big Excursions.--Special
Editions Pau.

The Promotion Committee has de-
cided that in future no more special
editions will be purchased as promo
tion literature, the bulk of the adver-
tising in future to be done through the
distribution of the literature especially
prepared by themselves. This decision
was arrived at in the discussion aris-
ing from request from the Paradise
of the Pacific that an order for two
thousand copies of their Christmas
number would be appreciated. 1t was
decided to order five hundred and
notify all publishers that no others
need apply.
At the meeting yesterday afternoon
the general discussion was on the pos
sibiHty of a number of excursions for
Hawaii this season. Secretary Wood
stated that he expected two large ex-
cursions in addition to the one to come
from Seattle, which would be the most
important. One of the expected ex-
cursions will come from San Francisco,
the other from Los Angeles. He
thought that there was a good chance
of the Chicago commercial organiza-
tions also arranging a big trip of
large number of members for Homo
lulu The talk was of an altogether
informal nature, being an elaboration
of the regular report. The report fol-

SECRETARY'S REPORT.
BY the steamship Alameda sailing
yesterday, we forward a full line of
all of our folders to the secretary of
the Mississippi Commercial Con-
gTess at Muskogee, Oklahoma, also to
the representatives of all of the rail-
way companies having agencies in that
city, sending, as well, copies of the
map of The Crossroads of the Pa
cific." l made special request of the i
railway agents that they favor us, if Z
possible, by making a window display
of our map and folders during conven-
ton week. We also sent folders and
copies of each of our daily papers to
all of the daily papers published at
Muskogee, which will enable the edi-
tors to write up Hawaii intelligently,
when reporting, as they will, the ad-
dress to be delivered by Governor
F'rear. I believe we have covered the
matter thoroughly, and that our efforts
viii prove of service in enabling those, +
whose attention may be directed to
Hawaii through the proceedings of the
congress, to get detailed information
without having to wait until their in
tereSt has waned.

FAIRBANKS LIKES OGDEN.
Vice President is Entertained by the
Press Club.
(Snecial to The Herald.)


Ogden, Sept. Vice President
Charles w. Fairbanks was in Ogden to-
day for two hours. During his stay
here he was the guest of the Ogden
Press club. The vice president was
travelling "incOg," so to speak, and
when he left the train at the union de-
pot shortly after noon, but few in the
crowd recognized the visitor. He, to-
gether with his private secretary, Mr..
King, was received by a committee
from the Press club of Ogden. After
dinner at the Pacific hotel Mr.. Fair
banks was entertained at the Weber
club and taken for an automobile drive
about the city.
mo politics, my boy, no politics, -
was the answer of the vice president
when an effort was made to induce him
to discuss the present status of the ma
tional political situation. He held to
this rule throughout his stay here.
When others tried to get him to speak
upon the same subject later on, he
brought into play a decidedly conven-
lent cough, and then deity turned the
conversation upon other subjects.
81 had the pleasure of hearing your
wonderful choir at the national irriga-
ton congress in Sacramento" said
Mr.. Fairbanks. TT is great organ
ization. It's rendition of the Irrigation
Ode was magnificent-Tnagni
attended the congress at Boise a year
ago and was highly pleased, but the
one in Sacramento eclipsed the Boise
meeting"
From the depot the visitor was taken
to the Weber club, where an informal
reception was held. A short time aft
erward the vice president and his sec
rotary, Joseph Scowcroft, William
Glasmann, Joseph Decker, 4. l.. Rey-
nolds, E. A. Larkin and w F'red Boss
ner, were taken in automobiles through
the principal part of the city. Mr..
Fairbanks said that it was a pleasant
surprise to see that Ogden was such
large and up-tO-date city, and ex-
pressed regret that he was unable to
remain for a longer time. He left Og-
den at 2 o'clock on the Rio Grande
Western.

From Albert Heikes.

Among the numter who re
membsred us ii. very substan-'
tlal way on Christmas, was our
old friend Albert Heikes, well
known in this county as having
conducted coach shop in Nc
Connellsburg for several years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heikes, Parker, and
McC. ID. Skinner and Phoebe and
their son Thornburg,liv at Great
Falls, Montana-Parker and Mac
owning and managing big stock
ranch near the city. In order to
have the advantage of the best
school facilities, Phoebe and
Thornburg are spending the win

from which Thornburg IS gong
to thN city schools, and Mrs.
HeiRes is out on the ranch with
Parker and Mac. Lucy is mar
ried and lives in Mount Vernon,
Mo-, and Pora is married and
lives at New Bethlehem, Pa.
Mr.. Heikes says that the Gov

Reservation, and irrigating the
land. This Will throw open to
settlers large area of splendid
farm land. OF course, the land
without irrigation, is practically
worthless, but Mr.. Helkes says
that it will now soon jump to a
value of fifty dollars an acre, and
he would like to see a lot of good
industrious Pennsylvanlans go
out and secure for themselves
good homes. A small investment
now, would mean comfortable
circumstances IN afew years with
not as much effort as would be
required TO "Keep soul and body
together in Fulton county" The
Fort Shaw land lies very nicely,
and after it is watered, will be
well adapted To the culture of the

of a big sugar plant to be erected
at a central point. Among other
