California agreed to assist Hawaii in
the fight against thhe Mediterranean
fruit fly, but that a bill appropriating
$4,000 for the purpose had been joint

gressmen Kahn and Hayes, was very
pleasing news at the Capitol yesterday.
Neither of the announcements came as
a surprise to Governor Frear, for both
actions were the result of requests on
his part but he was pleased neverthe-

w. II. Hoogs. chairman Of the pro.
motion committee, was yesterday grant.
ed three-months' leave of absence
to 90 abroad, and in his absence Paul
lsenberg will ill the chair
1t was also announced that Mr.. Isen.
berg will commence canvassing for
funds for the Floral Parade next week.
Mr.. Isenberg decided to delay such
canvassing until the holidays were over
and all the dividends in from the plan
tations and then would start his cam
paign.
The committee also decided to com
mence to lay plans for the 1918 Floral
Parade, and will elaborate even on
Director General Wallis program for
1912, although Mr.. Wallis plans are
already elaborate and more ambitious
than ever. 1t was stated that for the
coming parade and carnival business
houses are preparing TO have decorated
floats in the parade and these are to
be gorgeous.
The poster for 1918, in all proba-
bility, viii embody suggestion of
Waikiki Beach and give wter scene,
on the crest of wave.
Mr.. Myers of the committee, who is
also the head of the Home Insurance
Company, stated that his firm had sent
out HOO letters to insurance men all
over the country calling their attention
to the coming Floral Parade, and re-
sponses were coming in of satisfac-
tory tone, and he was certain that a
large number of insurance managers
would be here then. The insurance
journals have already commenced to
take notice of the parade. Following
is an extract from the Underwriters
Report" published in San Francisco,
December 81:
"Zeno K. Myers, treasurer and man
ager of the Home Insurance Company
of Hawaii, Limited, is issuing invita-
lions to insurance men to visit Hawaii
for the famous Floral Parade at Homo.
lulu, February %, 1912. AS member
of the Hawaii Promotion Committee,
Myers will urge representatives of the
insurance fraternity in the United
States to come to Hawaii singly, in
platoons and companies for the pur-
pose of seeing first hand evidence of
the many beauties, both natural and
cultivated, which are said to abound.
Insurance people who have visited the
Territory of Hawaii generally agree
that the trip is thoroughly enjoyable.

upon your return nome from FESTIVE

nome had been slept away at Waipu-
II, TO repeat, any OF these things nave
happened you, accompanied by their
usual disagreeable consequences-pa
tlcularly rs relates to that better Ooh,
SO much betterl) half, then you will
appreciate to the very depths OF your
nature the following paragraph;
Governor Frear yesterday appointed
W.. ID. Alexander, j. L. Brown, l.. A.
fhurston and Francis Gay to act, with
himself, as commission advisory to
the United States geographic board
concerning names and places in the
Territory of Hawaii.
The commission is appointed pursu.
ant to request of the secretary of the
interior made to Governor Frear some
weeks ago, and as at that time an
nounced IN this paper. Secretary Fisher
requested the Governor TO include his
own name in such board.
i.
has been much stumbling, sidestepping
and even noisy talk regarding Ha-
walian names; and the very mention
of the different islands of this group
became causus belli, almost, between
the various departments. For instance,
1t was reported that when the treasury
department wanted to send represen-
tative to certain place ON a certain
island, and gave him an interior de-
partment map by which to get there,
the unfortunate fellow, after weeks of
rambling and probable delirium, tied
himself to ringing buoy eight leagues
out at sea and was promptly taken
aboard by naval launch and later
charged by the photographic office with
an attempt to destroy one of its "cor-
ner stakes.''
No, but as a matter of fact, as Sec
rotary Fisher wrote Governor Frear,
the department found it oftentimes i'm,
possible to determine what were the
correct names for many Hawaiian To-
calities. Some places had map names
which could not be verified locally,
other were one thing on one map but
different on another, and still other
places" had English, or foreign, and
Hawaiian names as well.
So the secretary of the interior put
it up to the Governor of the Territory.
and the Governor of the Territory has
put it up to Messrs. Alexander, Brown.
Thurston and Gay. IT. nice bunch
of queries: who s who7 what IS what.
and which's which2 If not, why not I
A names a name for a that.
The commission will meet soon.

Everybody willing To Holm.

Secretary Wood reported that the
transcontinental railroads are ali
agreeable TO advertising Hawaii In
their folders. f. l.. Lomax, head OF
the Western Pacific Railway, said he
would see that Hawaii got a good
place. The Pennsylvania Lines will
follow suit, and IL was mentioned also
by Mr.. Wood that several pictures OF
Hawaii hang in the Erie Railway termi
nal, where 10000 people daily see them
Thos. Cook & Sons have notified the
committee that they have made cut
of the Floral Parade poster which will
go into their next Gazette.
The Doubleday Page syndicate of
New York, which handles several large
magazines, in answer to a letter from
Mr.. Wood writes they are anxious to
receive the promised photographs of
the industrial and architectural and
human interest phases of Hawaiian
life, as the syndicate intends to devote
space to two or three such photographs
every month.
large eastern concern wrote that it
had adopted the title page of one of the
promotion committee folders, and asked
if there was any objection. The com.
pany had changed the words to "Aloha
(brand) Syrup" The company states
that it is manufacturing its syrups
from products obtained from the Ha-
waiian Islands. The committee saw no
objection as this means just one more
item of advertising for the Islands.
The committee endorsed the plan of
Secretary Wood and Mr. Won Damn to
entertain the passengers of the round
the-world cruising steamer Cleveland,
which will arrive here on January "a.
The committee will take out leis to
adorn the ladies on the steamer. The
plans for the "Hawaiian Night" in
honor of the Cleveland s passengers are
going ahead nicely. This will be one
of the best entertainments for tourists
ever arranged here.
The secretary reported that President
Kennedy of the Inter-Tslan company
had informed him that r. K. Bonine,
the photographer, had succeeded in OBJ
tanning probably the finest panoramic
picture of the volcano of Kilauea and
the mountains of Mauna Kea and
Mauna Loa, ever taken. This panorama
is to be used in extensively advertis.
ing the volcano as tourist attraction,
the committee having gone on record
as being in favor of giving the Volcano
and its activity as much publicity as
possible.
