W. T. Lucas stated his opinion that
the Northwest territory was the best
place in which to do promotion work
He said that in the cold belt the PROS
pect of wintering in Hawaii would
have great allurement. He thought
that it would be a good thing for the
committee to have an Office in Seattle.
As far as Los Angeles was concerned
Hawaii could still have its exhibit
there but the tourist field in the north
promised better
Secretary Wood agreed with Mr..
Lucas. He said that the committee
had done good Cork in Los Angeles
and that Southern California was
practically theirs. He was Of the
opinion that a campaign should be
started in Seattle to let the people in
that country know that Hawaii really
had what Southern California offered.
He suggested that he be authorized to
instruct Agent Childs to proceed to
Seattle Immediately after the depar-
ture of the Pacific fleet, to get ideas
and information and to report to the
local committee early in July. By so
doing it would be possible to get the
agency established :. in Seattle by
August. which would be just the right
time. The committees exhibition could
remain at Los Angeles and arrange
ments could be made to have enquiries
answered there and folders distributed.
Mr.. Wood was instructed to take
the matter up and report to the COM
mittee.
