lent, with just enough Hawaiian dishes
to make it an interesting departure
from the usual course luncheon, ending
with whole pineapples partially filed
with delicious 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 Governor
Frear make an address of welcome.
Governor Frear's Welcome.
Governor Frear said, in part: ." It is
Ia great pleasure to greet you all, and |
join personally, as well 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 native son of the Gold
en- West myself, and because of the in
innate and neighborly relations which
have existed between the States and
these Islands for the past sixty years.
For many years after 1S49 these Is
lands supplied California with produce,
which California is now better able to
supply. These Islands contributed not
little TO the welfare of the Pacific
Coast States In 1898, after we used
printing press in these Islands for
many years, for eighteen years / be
lieve, we sent it TO Oregon, and that
was the first printing press used in the
States west of the Mississippi.

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 eminently fitting
that representatives of the commercial
bodies of the Pacific Coast States
should take this journey to the great

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 $72,000,000; with banking de-
Iposits of over $13,0OO,O0O; paying into
the federal treasury annually about
$2,000,O00, enough to pay all the ex-
i 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
Inexation, 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 tonnage was about
100000. For many years threefourths
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

Coast have been close, particularly
