and sent over.
Notice Boards.
Standing in the room was fine
notice board notifying tourists of the
tourist bureau and where it can be
found. These are to be placed on the
wbarves so that passengers can see them
as soon as they step off the boat. Two
of them will be placed on the Alakea
street wharf as an experiment and If
it is found that they are successful
then six Others viii be placed at various
points along the waterfront.
Transparent Picture Kiosks.
Since the introduction of transparent
pictures was made from Japan our local
photographers have been at work and
announced to Wood that they intended
putting the pictures on the local mar
ket. When the plans at the committee IS
present rooms are all completed there
win be kiOsks from all the other
islands. AS soon as the funds are avail
able Wood also plans to have kiosks
placed in the following cities and
places: New York, three; Chicago,
three; Los Angeles, three; San Fran
cisco, three; Yokohama, two; Kobe,
two; Shanghai, one; Hongkong,, one;
Manila, one; Singapore, one; Colombo,
two; Australia, three; New Zealand,
two.
They will cost about 800 each SO
that the committee will have to go
slowly with them. The members recog-
nize, however, that they are great pull
ers and should pay for themselves. One
is to be made up from Kauai views
and placed in the rooms as starter.
Probable Excursions.
Although for a time it seemed that
there was the possibility of a teachers
excursion here during this summer the
convention in San Francisco has knock
| ed that on the head. The promise of
the Canadian-P Pacific railway and also
of the Grand Trunk has been received
stating that they will try and work up
| special excursions to Hawaii and the
South Pacific for the long vacation in
1912.

best films and several hundred carefully

Wants Honolulu Films.
J. W. Erwin, the lecturer, employed
by the Southern Pacific company, has
written asking for a supply of Homo
lulu films and pictures. In his letter
he describes the films taken by r. X.
BONNIE and exhibited at the Chicago
Land Show last year as 4'by far the
best of their kind / have ever seen. "
The price of the films runs at fifteen
cents foot, so that the cost of send
ing over some would be considerable.
The committee feel, however, that it
should do something and before the
next meeting win try and arrange the
matter.
