reason to believe that there will be at
least three large excursions arranged
Tor the coming winter, which will be
actually carried out: one from Seat
tie and two from Los Angeles.
Within the past few weeks we have
had several parties of from eight to

the German American Savings Bank,
which is running a tourist department
and largely through our efforts has

many'of our own citizens for much
active and intelligent assistance In
ouf work. Hundreds have called at
our office to leave addresses of
friends, who would be Interested in
our printed natter or to secure II for
sending themselves. Many have
asked TO be supplied with literature
Tor distribution while on vacations on
the mainland. Space permits specific
mention of only few of these. Mr..
z. X. Myers, of Hilo, before making
a several months business and pleas
ure trip this summer, requested us to
mail to his address In half dozen
important points he expected to visit,
a liberal supply Of matter. This he
afterwards placed In the hands of
persons who will probably sooner or
later visit Hawaii. His cooperation
In our work in Spokane and Eastern

tune time, and his wide personal nc.
| dnaintance In that section made Il
possible for him TO do great deal OF
close range promotion work.

package of our literature with him
throughout his recent trip. which en-
braced both America and Europe.

lecturing trip through the middle west

besides, a splendid selection of Ian

Mr. George w, Smith has Just re-
turned from an extended trip
