Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen; Now that the tide of
travel has set towards Hawaii in such
volume that transportation facilities
are swamped in their efforts to handle
il, ! believe that we may be pardoned
for claiming credit for large measure
of these results. 1t has been the steady,
unremitting, consistent work of this
body for the past FIVE years in sowing
seed, which is now beginning to yield
great harvest; and the work we are
doing today will be bringing results
for many years to come l mention
this because i believe that during the
past summer more of our people have
come to realize the value Of the Ha-
wall Promotion Committee Is work than
ever did before. More than usual have
been on the mainland during the past
| few months, and all have been forced
to recognize the evidences of our work.
/ give our committee almost all the
! credit because we have been doing prac.
tically the only organized promotion
work for the Islands. California, Flori-
| do, the West Indies, and almost every
other place which, offers attractions to
tourists, not only have their publicity
| bureaus, but are supplemented by trans
portation companies, hotels, real estate
Companies, which keep the magazines
and newspapers filled with costly adver-
tisements. The Hawaii Promotion Com
| mittee has had but little such cooper
alton.
The Alaska. Y ukon Pacific Exposition
will be worth to the Territory many
times what it has cost us, but the re-
suits from il are to be looked for more
| in the future than in the immediate
present. AS you know 1 spent the sum
mer in Seattle assisting in pushing Ha-
waii to the fore. Although during that
| time / was not in the employ of this
| committee, still the promotion and pub
| licity end of the work fell to me, and
| I never ceased to consider myself
part of this body. In fact had my
cards announce me as represen.
tative of your committee. I am only
sorry that it was not possible for
every member to visit the EXPOSE
| ton, but 1 think you have heard few
| poor reports of Hawaii's exhibit, from
any source. At all times we secured
our full proportion of the general at
tendance, and we held attention better
than probably any other exhibit. By
the last mail we received through o
clipping bureau an extract, evidently
from q letter, published in the Garden
| CITY (kansas) Evening Telegram,
which Is very hattering. 1t follows;
