sions:
"San Francisco, Aug. ), 1909.
MY Dear Mr.. Wood: AS you prob
ably are aware we are working on
the Salt Lake Lodge of Elks for an

airy. We are also in negotiation with

and so get our innings.
"We showed our leotion pictures
and afterwards fed the crowd with
pineapple and they left US in a very
agreeable frame of mind. I think it
was very good missionary work which
can be followed up to advantage.
"During the week there have also
been conventions of medical associa-
tions of number of states of the
Northwest and I have met some of the
delegates. J. J. TAYLOR, MD, of 4105
Walnut street, Philadelphia. Pa, an
editor of a medical journal in that
city. tells me that the American
Medical Association will meet next
June in st. Louis, and that in all prob
ability the following year liz Los An

of an excursion to Hawaii at that time
will have good deal Of weight with
the delegates.

dows and attract much attention. All
of our people are much pleased with
the pictures especially with the surfing
views which none of US had seen. They

I have found it necessary to secure
extra assistance in addressing en-

past few days but by the. end of this

cial mail campaigns for next winters

be able to take care of the work. Dur

that on each steamer leaving Homo

passengers who find it convenient to
carry with them good supply of our
folders for distribution during their
.sravels. This is a great help to us
in our work and can not fail to bring
results.
The fifth edition of "Hawaii, a
Primer" is now coming from the press.
While we are well supplied with adj
vertising matter for the present, We
shall need at least 100000 copies of

as another edition of "Agriculture in
