Newell Promotionist.
1t was reported at the meeting that
Mr.. Newell, commissioner of irrigation,
now touring the islands, had expressed
his willingness to work in conjunction
with the Promotion Committee and was
in position to supply the committee
with list of names of many substan-
tial farmers who had been in COM
munication with him in regard to
securing land and building homes in
places Of good climate. Secretary
Wood stated that he would ask MIR.
Newell to address the committee some
time before he left the islands.
1t was also suggested that Mr.. Newell
be requested to write a short article
on the possibilities in Hawaii for home
seekers and settlers, the article to be
condensed sufficiently for printing on
special postcards, to be sent out as pro-
motion literature.
secretary's Weekly Letter.
The regular weekly letter sent out
by Mr.. Wood was:
Honolulu, October 8, 1908.
Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen: The fourth edition of
our pamphlet "Hawaii, A Primer
which has been carefully revised, will
be off the press by the first of next
week, in time for the steamers to the
Coast and the Colonies leaving the
10th. This book is n model in its way
and will compare favorably with the
best publications issued by other or
CARNATIONS elsewhere. An effort has
been made to cover all likely inquiries
and the information given can be thor.
oughly relied upon.
The matter for the Guide to the Is
land of Hawaii is now being compiled;
the maps have been received from the
draughtsman and this folder should be
ready for the printer in about ten days
to be followed by the Guides to Maui
and Kauai as soon as possible there
after. With the completion of this
series of maps and guides, the Promo.
ton Committee will be splendidly
equipped with reliable up.to. date in
formation, giving hotel rates, rates for
carriage and horse hire, in fact, com
plete travel data covering every part
of the Territory.
We are now having our relief maps
reprinted and vanished, the lettering
being made larger and palmer.
Mr.. Howard Hitchcock IS painting OF
the Waimea Canyon, Kauai, has at.
tracted great many visitors during
the past week. Mr.. Wix's water colors
of Kauai scenery have also been much
admired.
BY the Alameda sailing yesterday,
we despatched one of the largest mails
we have sent out this year.
We have received great deal OF
help in our publicity work recently
from residents of the Islands, who, on
trips to the mainland, have taken along
a supply Of pamphlets to be distributed
among their friends and to parties APP
proachng them for information about
Hawaii.
The excursion outlook for the com
ing winter would seem to be good. We
have taken up the matter actively by
correspondence and have reason to hope
for at least three large excursions; one
from Southern California, sailing from
San Pedro; another from San Francisco,
made up of the residents of Central
California; the third to sail from Seat
tle which will draw from the entire
Northwest. 1t will simply be a ques-
ton of suitable steamers. In the event
of the excursions being pulled off, they
will all include Hilo and the volcano
of Kilauca in their itinerary.
new supply of folders relating to
New Zealand and Australia have Just
been received. We also received let
ter from the japanese Welcome Society
by the last mail, stating that they were
forwarding us another lot OF their
guides to Japan. We have been ex-
changing these eourtesies with the Col
onies and Japan for some two years
now with good results, for wherever
their folders are kept ours may also
be found
Respectfully submitted,
II. z. WOOD.
