while those retiring are F. L. Waldron,
/ j. A. McCand1ess and w. T. Lucas.
| Mr.. Brown in assuming the duties of
chairman took occasion to refer to the
work of the committee in the past, stat.
| ing that an enviable reputation had
been won by the body on the main
land for reliability and trustworthiness,
due in large measure to the conscien.
tious and conservative work of Sec
rotary Wood. He assured the new
members that they would never be
troubled with any nightmares of prom
Uses or statements made which could
not be carried out or substantiated to
the letter. He thought that the sug.
gestion of the Advertiser of motto for
the committee, based on a sentence in

| Commensurate truth about Hawaii
lis good enough was one which would
represent the always adhered to policy
of the organization.
The committee gave warm approval
to the plan of having n number of new
!. folders prepared covering each of the
principle islands with specially prepar-
ed maps and authentic data on each
one, and authorized the secretary to
proceed at once to have such folder
concerning Oahu printed. This folder
will contain specially prepared and
| accurate map of the island drawn by
II. Il. Newton, of the Territorial Sur,

/ Both of these maps are already finished
l and are by far the best small maps
on the subjects named that have ever
: been made. They show all the prin.

for use as guide maps for tourists and
I Others in getting about the island. Both

2 A brief report of the committee s
representative on the Coast. Lloyd
, Childs, on his recent trip to Seattle
made Mt the instance of the committee
, to look into the proposition of opening
|, a branch office there, similar to that
a maintained in Los Angeles, %as read

crossing San Francisco bay. just go
9 in and | am anxious to get this off OF
s the Siberia, leaving at one.
r SIN regard to Seattle, / have to sa,
n that in so far as getting headquarters
!. is concerned, we can get two places.
81 was offered a place with the
: Commercial Club, on First avenue, rem
and deskroom free, and seemingly &
!, desirable place. The next place i.
" with the Butler Hotel They have /;
n splendid room on the ground floor
i used for banquets. We can use thii
k room, with deskroom free, if we car,
o to do so. This, to nay mind, is a yer.
c desirable place. Mr.. King, the man
e ager, thinks it would be to our mutua
y advantage, so he is willing to gran
z anything we ask. We can also hav,
e desRroom in the Chamber of Com

gard to the matter of doing worl

Z are practically no tourists there dur
ing the winter months. My idea j
, that if we could get them, the peopl
, of Seattle, interested in an excursio,

: be profitably employed there in work

. would probably take it up, and if con
D. ditions are right very large excr
sion could be run. We can have al
! most anything from the different cit e
y around the Sound, and | feel confden

that section.
