The following letter from Castle
Brothers, Wolf & Son, agents of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company at
Manila, is one of many showing the
friendly spirit evidenced by our cor
respondents throughout the Orient:
awe have for acknowledgment your
letter of June 8, also the receipt of
the folders and Guide to Honolulu, ,
which we will take pleasure in distrib-
uting among the hotels and to our pas
sengers. A copy of the Crossroads of
the Pacific has been received here,
and we could use dozen or more
copies, if you have them to spare. Any
literature descriptive of Honolulu and
the Hawaiian Islands which you may
send us from time to time will be dis
tributed to good advantage in Ma
Mia. -
We will forward the maps desired
by the Siberia. on Monday, and by the
same steamer will send out over one
hundred other copies, covering Japan,
China, India, Ceylon and the Straits
Settlements.
We are in receipt of cablegram
from Mr. Lloyd Childs, stating that his
report on Seattle as a field for promo
tion work will arrive by the Siberia.
Thus far, although local papers gave
due publicity to the announcement that

signs have been submitted. If none
are received before the end of the
month, l would recommend that the
design used last year, locally, be
adopted for use on the mainland. These
posters should be displayed not later
than November 10, the ground being
covered again before the 18th of Jan
uary.
The following letter to hand this
morning from Dawson City is of gen.
eral interest:
81 shall consider it favor if you
will forward me some descriptive lit
erature of Honolulu and Hawaii gen.
orally to distribute amongst friends
here in Dawson City. Having spent
winter in your beautiful country, am
trying my best to get number of
Klondike friends to take a trip to
Honolulu next winter, and if they do,
I am sure they would be more than
pleased. A large number of our peo-
pie here spend their winters in South

they knew what advantages the Ha-

a live one and booster for Honolulu

credit for the work he did while here. -
