GASMEN
FROM ALL LANDS
AROUND PACIFIC
Monster Convention Planned
for Honolulu for 1917,
Says H. [. Strange
UNITED STATES MEETING
PRACTICALLY CERTAIN
Additional Scheme is to Make
Bio Convention Into True
Pan-Pacific Affair

Representatives from every country
bordering on the Pacific gathered IN
Honolulu In 1917 in great Pan-Pa-
lcific Gas Congress this Is one big
result OF the activity Of Harry l.
Strange at the international Gas Con-
gress which was held recently in San
Francisco.
While the congress was in session
attention was called TO the fact that
although there were thousands OF pro-
eressive workers In the gas business
in the countries about the Pacific, yet
these men were so widely separated
that they rarely had an opportunity
to learn Of the methods employed In
other countries.
Building upon this hint Strange finaE
" went to some OF the most prominent
OF the delegates at the congress and
called their attention to the fact that
Honolulu Is the central point Of the
Pacific and that If congress were held
here It would be very easy to get dele
gates here from many countries:
Would BE Bic Boost.
China, Japan. New Zealand. Austria
liza, Java. Mexico, Canada. Chill, Ecua-
dor. Columbia, the United States
these are few Of the countries which
may. be induced to send delegates here
for such q congress. II would be one
|0f the biggest boosts which Hawaii
has ever received.
Men prominent throughout the gas
workers world gave their serious e.
tontion 10 the plan which 6trange 1aid
before item, and agreed with him that
the plan would not only do great
things for the advancement OF the sci
ence. but would also be- comparatively
feasible With this encouragement
Strange Is now hard at work to make
the Pam Pacific Gas Congress a reality
He has already practically cinched
the coming Of the gas congress Of the.
United States for 1917, he says. and il
he can carry his plans 50 much further
with this basis to build upon, there
Is no doubt that the event viii be one
OF the biggest in the history Of these
islands
At the congress held at San Fran
cisco this year there were more than
600 delegates in attendance. and Of
these almost all came from the vari-
ous states.
Want 70 Come Anyway.
aWe count on the fact that every
one wants to come to Hawaii any.
way, said Strange this morning. "and
If We can give them the smallest busi..
ness reasons in addition to their nat.
urai curiosity, there Is no doubt that
we can get a. crowd OF the right peo.
