time to make a forecast as to the pros
poets for tourist travel to Hawaii If
things turn out as we expect in the
Canadian Northwest, I think we can
look for considerable travel from this
section to the Hawaiian Islands during
the coming winter.
By the last steamer, the Commits
sioner of Education at Washington ac-
knowledged the receipt of sundry pam
phlets forwarded to him. stating in his

In order to push the thing forward |
the Chamber guaranteed to raise GER
tain amount of money, which resulted |
in the Yacht Club agreeing to go ahead.

am sending you some of our advertising
matter, showing views of Aloha station;
also some maps giving the location.
