BOWEN HEADS
PROMOT|0NERS

Willard f. Brown yesterday resigned
from his position as chairman of and
member of the Promotion Committee,
the resignation being accepted because
of the statement of Mr.. Brown that
he intended to leave Hawaii shortly for
an extended trip abroad. There was
general regret expressed at the meet
ing of the committee yesterday at the
loss of Mr.. Browns services. To sue.
coed Mr.. Brown, by unanimous vote,
w. A. Bowen was elected chairman,
while to fill his place on the committee,
w. II. Hogs was chosen.
The committee yesterday considered
a number of communications, taking
definite action on none of them, how
ever, and authorized the letting of two
large printing contracts. Among the
communications received was one from
the Hawaiian Development company,
stating that the residence of their man.
ager, j. J. Bowling, at Waiole, was at
present unoccupied and would be avail
able for private hotel. The commit
tee will probably endeavor to interest
someone in the place, which is at one
of the most beautiful spots on the wind
ward side and an ideal location for q
summer hotel

Honolulu, January Z, 1909.
Members, Hawaii Promotion Commit
tee, Honolulu.
Gentlemen: The following editorial
from the Montgomery (Alabama) Jour
nal, just received, is of interest and can
but encourage the committee in its
work,
fsThat the men of the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee at that distant point
appreciate that they have big field
in which to work, that there is work TO
be done, and that they are going at it
in the right way, is demonstrated in an
article about the Hawaii Promotion
Committee in the Pacific Commercial
Advertiser, copy of which paper was
received at the Commercial Club IS read

the activity OF the business league in
working for the commercial develop
ment of Hawaii. Judging from the
copy of the paper received by the Com
mercial Club, the island has some very
live men who are full of energy, and
are taking every opportunity that pre-
SCENTS itself to boost the country. They
are attracting commercial men and the
development of Hawaii is rolling along
at rapid rate and it is the same
kind that makes a great country in the
course of time.
The same thing can also be said o,
the following letter from an Army of
iicer stationed at Manila:

you would send me some of your de
