tary Woods report for the week:
Honolulu, September 16, 1908.
Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen: A letter from Mr.. Wig
gins, secretary of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, dated Sept 2,
to hand per last steamer, states that
the Tourist Season for Southern Cali
fornia is opening most auspiciously and
they feel confident of much larger in
fiux this year than last. Then trains,
(Mr. Virgins goes on to state), left
Chicago last night bound for the coast
loaded with tourists. Upon their ar
rival. they will naturally seek our quar-
tiers for information and your lecture
on Hawaii is going to prove one of the
great attractions. Many inquiries are
being made daily of our employees
about the islands and l am confident
that your work here is going to bring
good results"
In addition to the regular lectures,
at our suggestion the committees re-
preventative at Los Angeles will ar
range to give evening parlor talks to
the guests of the leading hotels. Dur
ing the evening, folders will be dis
tributed and questions answered. l
believe that much good will be accom-
plished in this way and only wish that
HiGnnGn1
would permit our arranging for such
talks in all of the leading cities of the
Pacific coast during the coming winter.
Joe Mitchell Chapple of the National
Magazine writes again under date of

Your cordial favor of the 18th at
hand and contents carefully noted.
will be with you in 1909 to prepare a
special sketch on Hawaii for my ma
gazine which will be profusely illus
trated.'

schools of the United States continue
to write us in increasing number for
