Mr. PARROT replies as follows uu
der date of Sept 18TH;
Your very kind favor of Septom-
Der LIST came to hand yesterday. We
will be glad to follow your sugges-
lions and will write Mr. Hin, also
Mr.. slit. and when IN Chicago will
visit MIR. Lynch.
MY letter of the 23rd covers the
situation about as &c stands today.
We are all very DESTROYS of taking
the trip and hope arrangements
can be made that will enable
us to do So The proposition receiy-
ed up TO date looks as favorable as
they might. We have no other pro-
gram other than Honolulu and will
thresh it out to a finish and only give
it up when it is proven concmsively
that it is beyond our reach
, The cruise of the Cleveland"
still continues to be heard from. One
!of the passengers, Mr.. Walter V.
Arbuckle of Paris, Illinois, writes as
follows;
81 am writing a book of my tour
Of the world in 1909 and 1910, and
from the impression that | got of
Oahu at the time I wish to, i'm a way,
give the Hawaiian people a boost.
Now, what I want is about one
half dozen photo-engravures or half
tone plates say, something like
"Breadfruit," opposite page in
Hawaii. Its Agricultural Possibilities,
printed for distribution at the Alas
ka-Yukon Pacific Exposition; one
like Cutting Sisal Leaves and Drying
the Fiber" opposite page Is, same
pamphlet; one like Grape Arbor
in Bearing" opposite page 2S, same
pamphlet; one like Vanilla, Show
ing Pods and Manner of Growth OPP
posite page 80, same pamphlet; and
one Uke Commercial Papaia Or
chard," following the last above nam
ed. Or any similar good photo engra-
vure OF the Pail; the Aquarium: of
natives a good street scene; or the
like.
Now, if the Promotion Committee
will express to me, prepaid, as above
suggested, I will use the plates in my
book and give each thing a nice men,
ton in my text along with the pic
lures free of charge. This book will
be distributed throughout the Unit
ed States and it will be quite an ad-
vertisement in an effective way to
the Hawaiian people.
"The plates should not be larger
than in. by in, and smaller will
do if good.
eff this meets with the approval
of the Committee please procure as
suggested, and send to me, and I
will do my part"
The Business Manager of the AR
iona Gazette" writes that he is still
working on the "Trip to Honolulu
Contest and fully expects to send
from five to ten young ladies' to Ha-
1 wall the coming winter.
A prominent hotel man now doing
vusiness in Chicago writes that he
is now considering Hawaii as a field
for future effort and that he will
spend the winter here In his let
ter he says:
My brother, who is connected with
the Passenger Department Of the Ca
madam Pacific in Canada Informed
me three months ago, that with =
little push from a direct source Of
advertising, he could guarantee 2OC
people on trip to the Hawaiian ISL
ands in the winter and he already has
given me the names of eight families
who are coming this year, while they
are only farmers in Western Cana
vida, they are pretty we'll fixed"
By the next steamer we will seno

aclders to every tourist agency,
arge and smajD throughout the
United States and Canada.
