In his report to the committee Sec
rotary Wood says:
| am pleased to be able to report
that the lectures on Hawaii being
given throughout New England by the
Rev. Rowland B. Dodge, Pastor OF the
Waikiki Union Church, are attracting
the attention of many travellers. AT
the bottom of each program, Mr.
Dodge has had printed brief notica
referring parties interested to the
Hawaii Promotion Committee for fur
Their information about the Islands
with the results that every mail brings
in number of such inquiries.
Mr. Lloyd childs continues to do good
work for Hawaii. His company of
singers known as the Hawaiian SeXtet
are booked well ahead on a leading
vaudeville circuit and are gradually
moving eastward from Omaha. They
appeared before large houses nightly
for upwards of week at Grand Rap

Mrs. Headlee writes under date Of
March 18th, in part as follows:
Los Angeles is having the most
successful season of travel in its his
tory and our lecture hall is crowded
every day. | regret to say however,
that many who were expecting to go
to the Islands have cancelled their
bookings on account of the cholera
scare and | was glad indeed to be able
to. give publicly to your cable stat
ing that the slight epidemic was a
thing Of the past. We are having
meeting this afternoon to carry out
your suggestions of a year ago that
we organize society of Hawaii to
affiliate with the other local State So
cieties which | trust will result in
some good team. work for the Isl

j. Walter Scott, our distributing
agent on the Pacific Coast reports an
increased demand for our folders and
asks for five million copies for the
ensuing year to supply the demand
west of the Rockies.
There is also great need for Al
buns of selected Photographic views.
We should, as soon as possible, ar
range to secure at least one hundred
to place in Railway and Steamship
booking Offices, hotels. etc
The Pacific Coast Manager of the
Hamburg American Line as well as
the Agent for this Company in Chi
cage, state that they will do their ut
most TO get the S, S, Cleveland into
Honolulu in time for the 1912 Floral
Parade. They are making every eff
fcrt to advance the time of the steam-
ers arrival by couple of days.
We are in receipt of word that the
General Passenger Agent of the Kan
sas City, Mexico and Orient Railway
is planning to visit Hawaii within
the next few months.
The abandonment Of the Oriental
Excursion of the Chicago Association
Iof Commerce was a great disappoint-
ment. Nearly, if not quite two hun
cred people had booked for the trip
including some of Chicago's foremost
business men.
A report to the effect that the Mon
golia and the Tenyo Maru had been
substituted for the Minnesota was
found, upon cable inquiry, to be erro-
rieous. The Official Excursion has
been definitely abandoned. We learn,
however, that as a result of the pub
licity given to the matter and the
splendid work of the Committee in
charge that a wide interest has been
created in the trip and that both the
Mongolia and Tenyo Maru due at Ho-
nolulu March 9th and April 18th,
respectively, will each have from
thirty to fly Chicago people on
board, as through round trip passen-
gers.
