Secretary Woods report this week:

Gentlemen:-By the last mail, our
Agent at Los Angeles, Mrs. Headlea,
writes in part as follows:
II am glad to report that the tour
it season continues good, and interest
in Hawaii increases. Since the flTsC
of the year, our attendance has not
been below 100 even on the poorest
days, while it more often reaches 1SU
On February Sth, gave a le;Lure
on Hawaii before the Ohio Society.
There woe aobut 500 present. The last
of this week, l am to give another
lecture-this time at the Hotel Green
and this will be while one of the Ray
nd-Whitcomb parties is there. Al
this writing, there are $50 guests at
the Hotel.
l wish to mention that we have had
a far greater number of visitors here
this season than ever before from the
Northwest, all points on the Puget
Sound including Victoria and Van
couver and other points in Canada
as far East as Winnipeg. The Spo-
kane excursion brought many from
Idaho and Montana points. 1 made
it a special point to interview these
whenever possible, and find many or
them interested in Hawaii and they
exposed both the desire and intention
to visit Honolulu next season.
Among the visitors at the Office dur
ing the season, l have noted quite
number who expect to visit Hawaii
with a view to locating permanently.
l am at present giving special atten-
ton to the Volcano, for instance
Monday, l mention it in connection
with Kapiolanis defiance of Pele ana
show the view. Tuesday, after com
pleting the tour of Oahu, l tell .nem
that a trip to Hawaii without visit
to the crater is like tour of Southern
California without a visit to Los an
geles; and urge all to allow the neces-
sary time to see it. On Wednesday,
l mention it in connection with the
Observatory being established there,
telling them that it is because of the
fact that Kilauea is always active and
never dangerous that this observatory
was located there. l show one view
ON this occasion. Thursday beng
Volcano Day, a full and complete de-
scription of both craters is given, al
though l have few good views OF
Haleakala. On Friday, in touring the
group, l again mention both craters,
showing a few scenes and close the
weeks course by noting in the Satur-
day lecture that the greatest attraction
of Hawaii is in her Volcanoes, which
are the largest in the world,-the one
active, the other extinct"
