Colusa had discharged the full ;t travel to HONOLULU FILLS ALL CLASS CRAFT Cal E. Stone Enthuses Over Great Northern Pacific's Success to Islands. San Francisco, Jan. 8. (P. N. S.) : "There are not enough ships now on j the Pacific to accommodate the de- . mand from the east for first class pas- ' sage on steamer to Honolulu, and this ! is but the beginning of a movement of j tourist travel to the west tha Ms likely to surpass the expectations of the most enthusiastic coast prophets." This is the outstanding statement in a discussion of Pacific passenger traffic today by Cal K. Stone, recently selected to fill the newly created post of passenger traffic manager of the Great Northern railroad. Mr. Stone is at present passenger traffic manager of the Great Northern Pacific Steam- ; ship company, the subsidiary of the Hill lines, which operates a line of steamers between Portland, 8an Fran- ! Cisco and the newly established run between Pacific coast ports and Hono- i lulu. Stone's success In the manage- I merit of these steamers Is said to have ' been the principal factor In his selec- I tlon by the railroad company for his I new post. j rt. . , ,, iiieio nss nume question, con tinued Mr. Stone, "when the Great Northern wss put on the Honolulu run, as to whether the amount' of travel would warrant the maintenance of such a steamer In thai service. The demand for accommodations has ex ceeded all our anticipations. We are dally In receipt of telegrams from New York, Philadelphia, Boston and the other large eastern cities request ing de luxe reservations," and Mr. Stone pointed to a pile of telegrams on bis desk, "but we are far from be ing able to comply with them. "The Hawaiian islands and the Pa- i clfic coast seem at present to be the j rnucipai oojeciives or the great bulk of eastern winter tourist travel, and thla travel Is sure to increase with the coming spring and summer. "During the exposition probably CO par cent of the travel was from the middle western states. The neonU from that section of ths country, so far removed from either ocean, are ap- ' parenUy always desirous of combining! a sea trip with their railroad tours, and It was for this reason that Pa- : clfic coast steamers were so well na- i tronized during the exposition year.- !

The only exper se attached will be met by a nominal Registration fee of 81. for which the d .legate will receive a delegate's card, admitting him to all sessions. The church has never beoiwcon front ed with such an opportunity as pres ent world conditions offer. Ths atti tude of America will not inly influ ence the western hemisphere, but will likewise tremendously affect China and other oriental countries. Orsatss Campaign ofcjaJl.
