Honolulu, July %, 1909.
Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen:-If Mr.. Bonnie is able to
accomplish his purpose, we may soon
expect to see some new and startling
photographs of Kilauea in action. Mr..
J. A. Kennedy and a party of friends
recently located path down the south
east side of Halemaumau to ledge of
hardened lava about fifteen feet above
the surface of the boiling lava pit. Mr..
BONNIE was due at the Volcano House
last night and purposes taking both
daylight and night exposures from this
ledge. He will also use his large piano.
ramic camera, which should give him a
wonderful view of the interior of
Halemaumau.
The moving pictures sent to Seattle
by the Alaska Yukon Exposition Com
missioners are proving to be a great
attraction.
A letter from the secretary of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce gives the
following information as to attend
ance:
''The exposition is meeting, and even
exceeding, expectations in the volume
of attendance. On the opening day
more than 10000 people entered the
grounds; had it not been for a heavy
rain storm in the evening the number
would have exceeded 100000. Since
then the average attendance has been
from 1900 to 10000, running up to
$4,000 and $4,000 on Saturday and sun
day; Saturday, July 3, it was 100000;
Sunday, July 4, $4,000, and yesterday,
July 5, $1,000; the total to date ex-
ceeds 100000. This, of course, includes
both free and paid admissions. Every
one is delighted with the fair and the
outlook is bright. -
The steadily increasing sale of canned
pineapples and the demand for fans,
mats, leis, etc, afford the greatest en-
enlargement to the committee plans
for opening up a sales exhibit at At
lantie City, where, during the height
of the summer season the daily arrivals
exceed on an average 100000 people,
the number of yearly visitors being es-
timated at 100000. During August
of last year there were over 10000
bathers in the surf at one time at this
great American resort, and during the
coolest days of winter the number of
guests at the different hotels averages
about 10000. While but a small per
eentage of the 100000 may be ex-
pected to visit Hawaii, all of them can
be interested in our pineapples. coffee,
and other products, and I hope sincere
