Moana, the press daily had statements
that the luncheon was to be at the
M0ana, bat the mana ger had it served
at the Young. and so there thew lunch
ed. However. the luncheon was excel
lent, with Just enough Hawaiian dishes
to make II an interesting departure
from the usual course luncheon. ending
with whole pineapples partially filed
with deliclous pineapple sherbet.
During the luncheon, at which John
Waterhouse presided in the absence of
Mr.. Spalding. several addresses were
| made. Mr.. Waterhouse excused him
self from speaking and had Governo,
F'rear make an address of welcome
Governor Frear's Welcome.
Governor F'rear said, in part: cit is
a great pleasure to greet You all, and |
join personally, as we'll as by virtue of
my official position, and also as mem
Der of the chamber Of commerce, in
this welcome to our friends from the
western coast Of our common country.
1t is especially pleasure, personally,
because | am a native son of the Gold

these Islands for the past sixty wears.
For many years after 1S49 these Is
lands supplied California with produce,
which California is now better able to
supply. These Islands contributed not
a little to the welfare of the Pacific
Coast States. In 1898, after we used
a printing press in these Islands for
many wears, for eighteen wears I be
lieve, we sent it to Oregon, and that
was the first printing press used in the
States west Of the Mississippi.
We know what wonderful develop-
ment has been exhibited by Japan. and
with prophetic eye. we know what is
in store for China, only it will be ten
fold greater. 1t is eminentlv fitting
that representatives of the commercial
bodies of the Pacific Coast States
should take this journey to the great
country on the other side Hawaii has
not little part to play in this com
merclal development. Indeed, ont of
all proportion to her size ana popuIa-
ton, by reason of her location geo
graphically, and directly and Indirectly
from military and naval standpoint.
'She has played, and is destined to
play, considerable part IN the com
merce Of this ocean, Her imports and
exports in the past year aggregated
about $72,000000; with banking de-
posits Of over $l3 900 900; paving into
the federal treasury annually about
100000, enough to pay all the ex-
penses of the federal government here
including military and naval improve
ments, which is not to be overlooked.
For many years, and long before an
neXatlOn, she did more for the upbuild-
ing and maintenance of the American
merchant marine than any other for
eign country in the world. (Applause.)
Last year her inward tonnageawas about
100000. For many years three-fOurths
of the vessels coming here have been
American bottoms, and have carried
ninety per cent of the commerce.
"Hawaii has developed not because
Of her area. not because of population
but principally because of her location
and because Of her natural advantages
and richness of soil, but more largely.
and mainly [ might say, by reason of
the methods that her Anglo-Saxon
population have introduced. her scien-
tific methods, study and adaptation. 1t
has not been so much through extern
slVeness Of area as intensiveness of
development. | believe | might say
that we have made good.
"Our relations with the Pacific
Coast have been close, particularly
with San Francisco ana Puget Sound,
and we hope to extend these relations
to the ports Of southern California
We are glad to have yen stop here at
this rest station in the Pacific Ocean,
and we wish you a most pleasant vov-
age, and hope to see you on your
return
