WOODS WEEKLY LETTER.

By the mail to hand we received
letters from 119 different cities
throughout the United States, CIV
ing us the names and addresses of
several hundred people who are
more or less actively engaged in
working up trips to different parts
of the world, and while most of
these have hitherto confined their
operations to the Atlantic Coast and
Europe, we shall expect to convert
the majority to the belief that the
Pacific has more of interest to offer,
and hope that this special campaign
may result in securing many addi
tional workers for Hawaii, as we'll
as for the Orient and the South
Seas.

This is to take place at the old fish

The men and women and the

ever the Colonists help to make

rich color, for most of them have
brilliant complexion; and, too,
they always seem so happy over
our goodly town and express their
liking freely.

LEGATION that should be as valuable
as it is attractive. The first number
of the magazine has just appeared
and fairly surpasses all the best that
the friends of its publisher, Alexan-
der Hume Ford, had expected. 1t
is ahead of many of the monthly
periodicals published in the larger
mainland cities in appearance, in
size, in illustrations and in the var;-

duced. The fact that publication
of this nature can not only be writ
ten about Hawaii and the South
Seas but actually published and dis
tributed from the midpacifc will be
an eyeopener to the many on the
mainland who persist in regarding
Honolulu as the grass-hut center of
savage land, or, as more do, as
city of the type depicted in cur
rent literature of the tropics, where
everyone takes a daily siesta, dimes
on breadfruit and quinine and re-
lies on month-old New York
papers for news of the day.
The Mid-Pacifc should help
greatly in clearing up the many mis-
conceptions Americans have of this
portion of their own United States,

BREED THEATER.
The Desert Claim. Thrilling Western
Drama.

The bill at the Breed for today is a
varied one and contains as its head
liner the great story of the American
desert, entitled The Desert Claim
The story tells of Jim Lee, an old
prospector. after some years working
a rather meague claim in the desert,
striking q rich vein of gold. Stalking
his claim, Jim takes specimens of his
ore 10 town and shows them to varf-
Gus friends at Bud Bailey's saloon.
Two strange prospectors plan to get
the mine, and getting Jim intoxicated,
they easily learn the lOca ton. The
next night Jim sees them proving
around near his tent and suspects foul
play. He plans a trap to catch them,
and after thcy are trapped ties them
together and leaves them helpless in
the desert. They are nearly dead with
thirst when Lee relents and. turning
them loose. orders them out of the
country.
A beautiful BiOgraph drama entitled
Sunshine Through the Dark graces the
bill also. and is a strong story that ap-
peaIs 70 the higher sensfDilities in
man and wins his admiration purely
through the delightfully."- human story
and charming characters.
A Romance of the CO.'S is the Lubin
film story, and as usual is one of the
clear as d bell variety. It contains
among its many other features the
careful ami correct deIineation OF
a braham Lincoln in a superb part. and
al In all is a war drama OF the first
class, nd splendidly thrilling and in
spring.
