"My Dear Sir:-I thank you fol
your letter of the 9Th, enclosing doeu
ments concerning Hawaii. l appreciate
the magnitude of your work in attempt
ing to make the people of this country
understand the opportunities which
your gem of the Pacific possesses.
"With regard to the place which
your port is destined to play in Pacifi'
commerce, l may say that / have dis
cussed the matter in my book THE Or
ganization of Ocean Commerce, pub
lished by the University, and 9TH
7 Ocean Carrier published by G. P. Put
nam. There is no question in my min'
but that your harbor is the only avail
able coaling station in the North Pa
cific and is likely to be one of increas
ing use by. steamers as long as tn
: ocean vessel continues to be Goa
, burner. OF course the Panama Cana
will very materially increase the ton
mage entering your safe harbor.
4 81 am, very truly yours,
