TALK TELEPHONE
For consideration of the matters of
misunderstanding or points upon
which the Mutual Telephone Company
and the Supervisors seem unable to
ajjree, there will bo a meeting at 3
p. m. next Tuesday, at the City Hall,
when the Merchants' Association and
the Board will hold discussion.
The consideration will be relative
to the placing of the City and County
fire alarm and police wires in tho
company's conduits; especially bear
ing on tho "agreement" which was
not agreed on between the telephone
company and tho Board, since tho
Telephone company wanted to bo" re
leased from digging inspection fees
and some of the Board members
would not listen to a proposition of
thus releasing the company in return
for looking after City wires.

The matter was brought up in re- Logan, as chairman of . the finance

Kane cried aloud for economy and'

had never been passed upon properly;
that the Kaluanui road was tho mat-

WHY EXCURSIONS

Tho following 'is from Acting Secre
tary Cooper's report to tho Promotion
Commitee for tho current week:
Chairman and Members of tho Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen:A citizen who has tho
interests of Honolulu and the Terri
tory truly at heart, commented yes
terday In rather a pessimistic vein on
the fact that we have "fallen down" on"
the proposer Shrlner excursion from
San Francissco, and have apparently
lost tho big Salt Lake City ElUs ex
cursion which was planned for Feb
ruary. "Everything goes lovely with
most of tlfose propositions until it
comes to getting stearasslp service, and
then its all off," was his way putting
it.
Now while there may be a certain
amount of truth "in all this, I personal
ly get a whole lot of satisfaction out
of the bare fact that so many persons
really want to come to Hawaii. It
speaks volumes for the efficiency of our
work. People are coming to know
of Hawaii as they never did before,
and no one can question that the Ha
waii Promotion Committee has been
tho biggest factor in this dissemina
tion of knowledge. Besides there is
no reason to believe that these various
excursions planned, have been aban?
doned. On the contrary they will al
most certainly bo taken up again, and
in the meantime all the planning and
discussion which goes on lis so much
good advertising for Hawaii. Hero
are excerpts from letters receved by
yesterday's mall bearing on this mat
ter, which shoy that wo have some
goods frienos. working for us.
D. E. Burley, General Passenger
Agent of tho Oregon Short Line Ry,
writes concerning the failure of tho
Salt Lake Elks' plans:
They felt it was rather
too heavy a risk for tho Lodge to
assume, In vlow of tho fact that
they wouid have to, guarantee, and
deposit" funds, to tho amount of
?3G,750, in order to socuro tho
steamer for tho trip. I was much

was no reason whatever' for talking
about there not being enough money
There was plenty of money and there
would bo no reason to cut salaries of
i;ity and County employes later on, as
Kane contended would bo the case;
that the iCty and County had heard
tins cry or poverty before, but that
everything, with reasoning and proper
management had come out even as far
as nnances were concerned. Ho bad
ML WHEN
disappointed to see the matter fall
through I am convinced not
withstandwing time was rather
short for advertising, they still
could have secured enough passen
gers to 1111 the ship l have
hopes that we can bring about such
an excursion for winter of 1910
and 11.' '
F. T. Collins, tho member of tho Salt
Lake City lodge, who spent some tlmo
in Hawaii last spring, writes:
"The committee roports unfav
orably for the excursion for next
winter owing to the heavy guaran
tees required and tho lodgo not bo
ing permitted to assume Jt and the
committee not being willing to as
sue a guarantee of ?3G,750 I
venture to say that another season
tho Pacific Mall S. S. Co. will run
an excursion to the islands on their
own responslbllty, and with a
largo reservation for Salt Lake
Lodgo No. 85. 'ie members aro
highly pleased with this aB a pros
pective trip and pur secretary has
had enquiries from Idaho, Wyom
ing and as far east as Denver re
garding it. ' I expect to be at
leisure soon for another trip, and
may get some of my friends togeth
er during the winter and rubber
around your beautiful islands."
Here Is more good advertising for
Hawaii:
"We have a movement on foot
hero to run an excursion to Hono
lulu, starting from hero tho latter
part of January. Therefore, will
you send mo fifty or a hundred
booklets on Hawaii, and oblige,
"Yours very truly,
Xi. G. MONROE,
, "Secretary Spokane Chamber or
Commerco."
Our mall this week contained tho
usual largo number of Inquiries from
persons who want to como to Hawaii
as tourists or settlers.
Respectfully subltted,
WILL J. COOPER,
Acting Secretary.

CHICAGO, October 28. Republicans hero have come out definitely
with tho declaration that Speaker of the House of Representatives Joseph
G. Cannon, who has served in Congress for over thirty years, Bhould glvo
up tho reins of leadership, and aro urging upon Cannon that, for tho
party's good, it is necessary for him to retire. They insist in a word, that
ho should walk the plank for tho welfaro of tho Republican party.
It Is stated that Cannon will be the center of a bigger fight than be
fore if he tries to retain tho Speakership, and some of tho Republican
leaders think his renewed candidacy threatens (ho party success in this
state. Cannon will go bitterly fought again by the temperance agitators,
who are about to begin in Chicago the greatest fight for temperance over

endanger tho Republican majority by their opposition to him. Leading
Illinois' Republicans therefore think ho should retire in the interest's of
