send you as many of these as it may
be possible for me to secure. The
Seattle Times is to devote a colored
page to the trip in November. We
are surely getting publicity for this

they will have to use two steamers.

pany's offer of the Queen having been
refused by the Los Angeles Chamber
of Commerce, the company is now en-
deavoring to work up an excursion
out Of Portland, as the following let.
ter from the general passenger agent,
Mr.. G. d. Dunann, would indicate:
Il have yours dated Sept 18th ad-
vising of shipment of literature which
we will be pleased to distribute
among our agents. You may forward
such quantities for future distribution
as you deem proper. 1t will be our
pleaure to see to it that the stuff is
well placed.
We entered into negotiations with
the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce for an Island excursion. The
writer visited their committee in per-
son and presented what was expected
to be an acceptable proposition. At
ter due deliberation the committee
sent in their declination. 1t would
seem that they deem it impossible
to get a sufficient number of sub
cribers to meet the expense.
We are now negotiatingg with par
ties in Portland, Ore, who hope to
organize an excursion the coming
winter. If a successful issue is reach
ed, we will advise you fully"
Recent clippings from the Coast
have contained numerous references
to Mr.. P. G. Jones remarkably quick
trip from Honolulu to Boston and u
has been a matter of conjecture as
to just how so much publicity was
given to the accomplishment Let
ters to hand by this mail clear up
the mystery, however, for it would
appear that Mr.. Walter ]. Lynch,
passenger traffic manager for the New
York Central lines at Chicago, who
was recently here, saw good OPP
portunity to advertise Hawaii and
his road at the same time, so ar
ranged the desired connections at
tending to the publicity end as well.
That we are steadily advancing our
outposts is well indicated by the
following letter from the manager of
the foreign department of the First
National Bank of Pittsburg, Pa, dat
ed Sept. 20:
Your annual report came to hand
and was perused by the writer with
great interest. Would you mind plac-
this department on your mailing list
for any publications or advertising
matter?
: I'VE have party of four gentlemen
J leaving San Francisco on the Mon
golia, October % on trip around
the world. They would rather have
} had three weeks, but we could not
arrange the steamship Accommodations
satisfactorily, However, if they find
r the Islands interesting, they may
stay from four to five weeks. OuI
4 passengers names are Mr. Glenn
Stewart, Mr., Alex. K. Nimick, Mr.
= G. Ekelund, Mr.. Carroll Robertson
These gentlemen belong to our very
best families and if they are pleased
with their stay in the Islands we have
no doubt that it will help your cause.
