Chairman and Members of the Hawaii

Gentlemen: After concerning with
your Chairman, Mr.. W. E. Brown, 1
wrote to Mr.. r. A. Mott-Smith Sup
erintendent of immigration, asking il
we might place our maps, folders, ETC.,
on file in the Office the Board of I'M
migration proposes establishing in New
York and am pleased to report the
receipt of the following answer.
I am in receipt of your favor of to-
days date asking that the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee may have the pri-
vilege of keeping matter, samples of
which you have furnished, in the office
proposed to be opened by the Board
of immigration in New York City I'M
der charge of. Mr.. Trenor, and also
asking the privilege of stating to par
ties in New York desiring information
about Hawaii that they can secure the
same from Mr. Trenor
This request meets with my entire
approval and am sure will meet with
the approval of the Board. As l UNI
derstand it, you wish Mr.. Trenor to
take it up in a merely incidental way
in connection with his Office and to
have place there in New York where
nd 81 r4hfoI, ang1A-gl
can be shown and questions answer
ed. | will write to Mr. Trenor to
this effect"
The matter for our Map and Guide
to the Island of Oahu is now in the
hands of the printer and will, l think,
prove to be one of the most valuable
publications the Committee has issu
ed. | hope to have it finished early
next week
In order TO complete the series, Mr..
H. e. Newton is now at work. during
his spare moments, on the maps OF
the other islands.
Following Oahu, | will be prepared
to submit the matter for the Hawaii
folder. One side of the folder will
be taken up with an accurate map OF
the big island; on the other side, in
addition to statistical and descriptive
matters we will have an excellent map
of Kilauea, showing as well, location
of Volcano House, trails, roads, etc.
The Maui folder, in addition to the
map of the twin islands, will also car
ry a good map of Haleakala, giving
elevations, trails, etc.
The Kauai folder will also be COM
plete. The maps in every instance
will be made to scale and will be thor
oughly up to date.
AS son as the Oahu folder is out,
We will send copies quite generally to
| the other Islands, asking for infor-
nation along similar lines, to be used
in the folders of Hawaii, Maui and
Kauai, which We will endeavor to
make as complete as possible.
Feeling that the possibilities Of fish
ing as a sport should be thoroughly
exploited, we have asked Mr.. H. NJ
Ayres to submit to the Committee at
an early date as may be convenient
a series of ten or twelve articles COW
ering the subject quite thoroughly and
| hope that the Committee may decide
to have the matter printed in attrac.
| tive pamphlet form, suitably illustrat.
ed.
! | am now in correspondence with
different parties in Colombo and Sing
apore, with reference to distributing
our advertising matter on board al
steamers calling at those ports and il
the event Of our being able to secure
reliable service at moderate cost,
would recommend the printing of {
two page leaflet in English, Frencl
and German, to be used in those ports
Such a leaflet will serve to arrest tn
travellers attention and should he de
sire further information about the Isl
ands he will then know where to OBJ
tain it.
