which supplies the Hearst newspapers
and 400 others scattered over the
length and breadth of the country
with pictures and special articles, as

the other important railway lines in
their main stations, on their ferry
boats, In their branch ticket offices
and their Office buildings-in short,
wherever they are pushing their own
business, they also will press ours.
The Carnival Pathfinder and the
Carnival Code, to smooth the way for
visitors, viii receive even greater pub
licity. Not only will they receive the
same distribution as the poster but
they also will be placed in all Pull
man cars, where they will come in
contact with the cream of the travel.
The Souther Pacific and the San
IA Fe systems,i which between them
handle the entire volume of Califor
mia tourist travel, have agreed to
make special efforts at Los Angeles,
.ne tourist center of the coast, to
stimulate carnival travel
''It gratifies me very much that the
business community in general has
given the Pathfinder such good sup
port. 1t, II support we'll placed, for l
find that wherever the purpose and
scope of the Pathfinder have been ex-
planned on the mainland there is a
desire to get it in circulation as early
as possible. The railroads believe 1t
will create business for them and, of
course, for Honolulu, so l am partic-
ularly anxious that the remaining sub
scriptions needed be booked as rapid
ly as possible.
Let no merchant here think that
we are hasty. the first turn of the
tide in winter travel begins to be felt
strongly in October, and the sooner
we get out into the stream the farther
it will carry u.s."
