week:
Chairman and Members of the Ha
wall Promotion Committees:
Dear Sirs-I am pleased to be able
to report that the 1900 circulars sent
out concerning health conditions, not.
ing the end of the slight cholera cpl.
demic and dwelling upon the plans in
hand having for their object the max.
ing Of and keeping Honolulu the c.ean-
est port in the Pacific, have had the
desired effect. Railway and steamship
men and excursion agents from all
lover the United States and Canada are
sending in their acknowledgements of
the receipt of the letter stating that
they were glad to get the information
and would give it wide publicity.
We shall follow up this work by
sending out several hundred marked
copies of the daily papers describing
Cleanup Day" to the leading papers
of the United States and Canada and
to different interested parties.
Sending Papers Away.
BY the nippon Maru" we are send
ing marked copies of our daily papers
referring to the observance of coro-
nation day in Honolulu to the leading
daily and weekly papers of Great Brit
ain and Ireland. We shall also send
the same matter to the leading publ
cations in all of the British colonies.
By the ''Wilhelmina" this week we
forwarded 5000 folders and by the
Sierra" 5000 to our different distribut-
ing agencies along the Pacific. Coast,
mailing as we'll about one thousand
copies of different addresses. We also
send out a large number of our
Crossroads" map in response to re.
quests.
BY the Mariana" today we are for
warding some 1000 folders to the
South Seas and as far as Colombo.
l have also to report the receipt of
a new supply of folders from the diff
ferent tourist bureaus of Australia, and
would at this time again call attention
to the albums Of magnificent PHOTO
graphs of Australia, New Zealand, Cey-
Ion, Java and other parts of the Pa
cific displayed in our rooms. We are
adding to the collection right along and
will soon make the Library of Albums
as complete and valuable as our Ii
brary of Directories.
More Lectures Than Ever.
By the Nippon Maru we are send
ing a set of lantern slides to Miss
Elizabeth Hardaway, who is we'll
known in Honolulu and who can be
depended upon to do good work for
| Hawaii throughout the Middle West.
More lectures are being given on Ha-
waii throughout the United States this
summer than ever before. The Pro
Ilaotion Committee has furnished hun
dTeds of slides for these lectures and
has had printed a great many thou
sand special leaflets to be given away
at the lectures, but the seed is being
well sown and at small cost. The re-
turns will be noted next winter.
To the South we also have lectur-
ers whose theme is Hawaii.
The following report from Mrs. Met
ia S. Mack of the use she made of the
slides which were recently loaned her
will be read with interest.
Before leaving for a months stay
at Alewa Heights, will give you a
brief outline Of my trip through the
States last summer.
Leaving your beautiful city on the
9th of last August with my daughter
Edith, whom l left in school at Cleve-
land, Ohio, We arrived in San Fran
cisco on schedule time, after a most
delightful voyage. Jal
"One of the first things l learned on
my arrival was that l was booked to
give a stereopticon lecture in Grace
Nj. r. church on the following Tuesday
night. The tickets were already on
sale. l might add just here that this
was to be a benefit for the Ellen
Stark Ford Home, a home under the
same bureau as the one / am superin-
tending here.
AT the close of this lecture-my
first attempt in this line-a pastor of
one Of the Oakland churches came
| forward to express his endowment and
appreciation of what he had been lis
tening to, and to engage me for the
same lecture to be given in his church
en- my return trip.
Since l was delayed in San Fran
cisco longer than had been expected,
! was unable to meet all the engage
ments that had been made for me en-
route, but my next stop was in Man
