Adams Makes Statement.

That the general public Is unduly
Worried over the high figures contain

the belt road. is the opinion of AM
drew Adams. chairman of the loan
fund commission, who was in the city
ihis morning. Mr.. Adams says that
the commission and its engineers are
not going into the project In the hap
hazard way that some Of the taxpay-
ers seem to think, and that, on the
whole, tempest has been brewed
In q teapot.
"There seems to be feeling among
some of the people that the entire
belt road project will come TO an
end with the construction of the first
section" said Mr.. Adams. 81 would
ask the public to withhold judgment
until the, original estimates of our
engineers for this Ave miles il made
public, which will be when the sue
cessful bidder Is finally announced.
"This section of road, from the Hee-
in beach to WaiahOle bridge is alb
solutely the worst stretch of road on
the entire circuit. Not only Is 1t al
most impossible in bad weather. but
1t presents engineering difficulties that
make the construction of first class
road very expensive undertaking
There Is large amount OF excavating
and costly rock work that makes the
rest of the road building look easy
by comparison.
Now as to the time and money re-
quired for the other sections. As
soon as our engineers were through
with the Heeia- Waiahole project they
went right to work surveying the road
from Kipapa Gulch to the Waialua
Ill., and within month we will be
ready to advertise for bids on that
10k mile stretch. Then we jump &c
the 7h mile stretch from waiahoc

attorney general. Wilson would prob

Must we," asked the commission
in effect. necessarily to give the bid
to the lowest bidder?" The attorney
general showed the chairman the law
on the subject and the latter will
make report to the commission at
the session to be held this afternoon.
"The law requires" the attorney
general told Adams, that the tender
OF the lowest responsible bidder shall
be accepted"
He further stated that Wilson has
had government contracts before and
that In the other two cases he has
failed to make good on them.
"The attorney generals department
has not any jurisdiction as far as this
Is concerned. however, and the mat
ter Is entirely in the hands of the
commission. II has to determine not
only who Is the lowest bidder but
also who Is the lowest responsible
bidder. This depends also not only
on his financial standing but also to
a certain degree on his integrity and
skill.
"If they turn any one down they
must be convinced that he Is not the
lowest responsible bidder and this

The attorney general told the chair
man that as far as the political as

partment In the slightest degree.

RED HAIR WAS NEW TO THEM
indians for a Long Time Insisted
That White Mans Scalp Must
Have Been Painted.

Forty years ago the Indians in
Colorado knew but little of the white
man. and nothing hardly of his ways
or habits except from tradition.
Among the people who went to set
tie in Colorado at that time was a
man with very red hair He and his
party were thrown among the In
dams, who thought at first that his
hair was painted, just as they paint
ed their own bodies and faces.
An old chief came up to him one
day and looked at his hair very care
fully.
"Ugh!" said he.
And then, turning to the interpreter
who had the part in charge, ne
wanted him to ask the man where ne
got the kind of paint that would color
and yet not be greasy or look daDby.
He was told that the mans hair was
not rainted, but he would not believe
it. He once more walked up to the
man and scrutinized his locks, run
ming his hand through them and look-
ing at his fingers.
The red-haired man became little
nervous, and half fancied that the
chief was calculating how nice red
scalp would look hung to his belt.
The interpreter, however, laughingiy
told the man what the chief had said
Two or three more of the Indians
then gathered around the party, and
they and the interpreter had pow
WOW. Finally the Interpreter asked
the man if he would object to putting
water on his hair
He saw the Indians would not be-
Iieve but that 1t was painted, until
they saw that the water would not
wash the color out. The man took
some water. rubbed it on his hair
and then showed his hands to them.
But it took four or five days of won
dering examination to convince them
that he had not found some peculiar
paint. ard got himself up in a bright
red suit of hair.

CHAPTER XIV.
The LandIady of the Occidental.


Keith had crossed at this point so
frequently with cattle that, once hav-
ing his bearings, the blackness of the
night made very little difference
Nevertheless. in fear lest her pony
might stumble over some irregularity,
he gave his own rein to Neb and went
forward on foot, grasping firmly the
tired animals bit. 1t was a long
stretch of sand and water extending
from bank to bank. but the water was
shallow, the only danger being that
of straying off from the more solid
bottom into quicksand. With a tower
ing cottonwood as guide, oddly mis-
shapen and standing out gauntly
against the slightly lighter sky. the
plainsman led on unhesitatingly. until
they began to climb the rather sharp
uplift of the north bank Here there
was a plain trail. pounded into smooth
ness by the hoofs of cavalry horses
ridden down to water, and at the sum-
nit they emerged within fifty yards of
the stables.
The few lights visible, some station
airy. with others dancing about like
l-o-the-wisps, revealed imperfectly
the contour of various buildings. but
Keith turned sharply to the right, anx-
ious to slip past without being chal-
lenged by a sentry. Beyond the brow
of the bluff other lights now became
visible, Pickering here and there,
marking where struggling town had
sprung up under the protection of the
post-a town garish enough in the
daylight, composed mostly of shacks
and tents, but now with its deficien-
cies mercifully concealed by the en-
veloping darkness. The trail. easily
followed. fed directly along its single
street, but Keith circled the outskirts
through a wilderness of tin-cans and
heaps of other debris, until he halted
his charges beside the black shadow
of the only two-story edifice in the
place This was the Occidental. the

through her fingers. AS she glanced
up again. something that glittered on

CHAPTER XIlI.-(Continued.)

1t was noon, the sun pitiless and not
above them. before they struggled
within the partial shelter of the sand
dunes, and sank YEARLY down to their
meager lunch. Their supply of water
was limited. and the exhausted ponies
must wait until they reached the river
to quench their thirst. Yet this was
very far off now, and Keith had seen
enough Of their surroundings to locate
the position of the ford. Slow as they
must proceed, three hours more would
surely bring them to the bank of the
stream. They discussed their plans
briefly as the three sat together on
the warm sand. revived both by the
food and the brief rest There was
not a great deal to be determined.
only where the girl should be left, and
how the two men had better proceed
to escape observation.
Fort Larned was the nearest and
safest place for their charge, none of
the party expressing any desire to ad-
venture themselves within the imme-
diate neighborhood of Carson City.
What her future plans might be were
not revealed. and Keith forebore any
direct questioning His duty plainly
ended with placing her in a safe en-
vironment, and he felt convinced that

companionship. The sole problem re-
maining-after she had rather listless-
ly agreed to such an arrangement
was to so plan the details as to permit
the negro and himself to slip through
the small town clustered about the
ton. No doubt, the story of their es-
cape had already reached there, en-
bellished by telling, and serious trou-
BILE might result from discovery Keith
was surprised at the slight interest
she exhibited in these arrangements,
merely signifying her acquiescence by
word, but he charged it to physical
WEAKNESS. and the reaction from her
night of peril; yet he took pains to
explain fully his plan. and to gain
her consent.
This finally settled. they mounted
again and rode on through the lanes
traversing the sand dunes, keeping
headed as straight as possible toward
the river. The ford sought was some
miles down stream, but with the
horses thirst mitigated. they made
excellent progress. and arrived at the
spot early in the evening. Not in all
the day had they encountered a liv-
ing object, or seen a moving thing
amid the surrounding desolation. Now,
looking across to the north a few
cleaning lights told of Fort Larned
perched upon the opposite bluffs.
