half of the Promotion Committee.

writer stated that no more sand was
being taken from Waikiki Beach for

moved and J. +. Bush seconded that

various steamship agents with a
view to getting special transporta-
tion rates for Mr.. Vierra and the

A letter was received from Secre-
tary Wood, in which 1t was stated
that the steamship Queen of the Pa
ciic Coast Steamship Company would
in all probability be sent to this
city during the summer and later to
Hilo with a special excursion aboard.
The Queen will be dispatched from
Port Los Angeles or Redondo, and
the visitors will be given an oppor-
tunity of visiting the volcano.
Several letters were read from
Secretary Wood, written from San
Francisco and Los Angeles, in which
1t was stated that a direct line OF
steamships from Vancouver, d. c.,
to Hawaii will probably be establish
ed in the near future. Secretary
Wood also wrote that he thought
the Territorial government should
appropriate $4,000 through its Leg
islature to maintain prorer exhibit
for the Hawaiian Islands at the Pa
mama Canal Exposition to be held
either In New Orleans, Loo Angeles,
San Diego or Washington, ID. c., In
1916, whichever city Is chosen. Sec
rotary Wood stated that he consid-
cred an appropriation of 100000
would not be any too large a sum
to expend in Hawaii's exhibit.
A letter was read from W. NJ
Milne, manager OF the Los Angeles
Examiner excursion party, which
will visit this city in August on its
way TO the Far East, asking what
rates for meals and automobile rides
could be made for u party OF 200,
this being the number he expected
to conduct on the tour. A rate OF
81 per plate for a lunch had been
quoted by Mr.. Hertsche of the Mo-
ana, which he considered exhorbi-
tant. j. f.. Bush moved that the
acting secretary be instructed to
confer with Manager Hertsche and
ascertain the lowest rate he would
be willing to charge per capita for
lunch to these excursionists.
Mr.. Milne stated that the hotels
st. Francis and Palace, of San Fran
cisco, had quoted him a rate of 81
per plate, and he considers that n
fair rate and is willing to pay that
amount; but that 81 plate he can
not, and will not, pay.
The Promotion Committee thought
that this excursion party should not
be held up, as It would be the cause
of much unfavorable comment by
the members of this party when they
returned to the Coast and spoke of
the hotels of this city as charging
81 plate for just an ordinary
lunch.
The acting secretary was instruct.
ed to ascertain what arrangements
could be made with automobile and
livery men to ascertain IL satisfac-
tory rates could be made to convex
these excursionists to the various
showplaces In and around this city.
X. IL. Trent stated that as he was
leaving for the Coast and New York
shortly on n business trip, he would
make a point of meeting Mr.. Milne
aud would talk the matter over with
that gentleman.

will leave Los Angeles on August 8
and return to that city on October
10. On August Is they will arrive
In this city. and leave the same day

reached on August PC. Kobe, Ma
gasaki. Manila, Hongkong and
