CHAPTER v.

Still men were without faith In the
strike When Daylight, with his heavy
outfit of flour, arrived at the mouth OF
the Klondike, he found the big fiat as
desOlate and tenantless as ever. Down
close by the river, Chief Isaac and his
Indians were camped beside the
frames on which they were drying sal
mon. Several old-times were also In
camp there. Having finished their
summer work on Ten Mile Creek, they
had come down the Yukon, bound for
Circle City But at Sixty Mile they
had learned of the strike, and stopped
off to look over the ground. They had
just returned to their boat when Day
light landed his flour, and their report
was pessimistic. But an hour later,
at his own camp, Joe Ladue strobe in
from Bonanza Creek. He led Daylight
away from the camp and men and
told him things in confidence.
She's sure there" he said in con-
clusion. 81 didn't sluice it, or cradle
it. | PANIED it, all in that sack, yes

And what's on the bedrock down In
the bottom of the creek they amt no
way of tellin'. But she's big, | tell
you, big. Keep it quiet, and locate all
you can It's in spots. but I wouldn't

To the Chairman of the Convention:
Your committee on platform recon-
mends the adoption of the followine
declaration as the platform OF the
Republican District and County Con
vention for 1919:
We affirm our faith in the Repub-
lican party and it's principles.
We ratify thA platform adopted by
the Territory convention and pledge
our candidates to the fulfilment
thereof
Republican Responsibilities.
The rapid growth of this munich
pality will soon be further augmented
by the opening of the Panama Canal
and the making of Honolulu, in fact,
a world port. 1t behooves Honolulu
to be ready The duty Of preparation
for this falls to the Republican party.
We pledge active cooperation in
all work for a greater Honolulu, max.
ing our capital superlative city with
the best roads, with sidewalks and
with modern parks and numerous
places of free recreation.
Street Construction.
We therefore favor a undermining
of our laws concerning the opening
Of new streets and>the laying of per.
manent pavements and sidewalks by
the adoption of the principle of local
assessments upon initiative of the
property owners, upon equitable
terms.
Opening Of Streets.
We favor the Immediate opening of
streets through the areas ofN densest
population.
Sewer and Water Works.
We believe that the best interests
of Honolulu demand that the sewer
and waterworks should be owned and
controlled. by the municipality.

Convention Will
Fight It Out
Today

At $3.50 o'clock this afternoon the
Republican county convention was
still fighting over the two reports OF
the Rules committee, one calling for
q secret ballot and the other for a bal.
lot by announcement Of q delegation
chairman.
L0rrin Andrews was leading the
| fight for the secret ballot. He made
q speech I'm which he charged that the
open ballot was forced by those who
had "bOught votes and wanted to see
that the goods were delivered
The convention began its work
shortly after ten O'Clock this morn.
I ing and after preliminary orsaniza.
tion adjourned to 2:3o o'clock this
afternoon. During the interval the
committees on rules, credentials and
platform, appointed by Temporary
Chairman Oscar p. Cox, held their
meetings.
The rules committee was framed
by Lorrin Andrews and was framed
so that there would be an unques-
tionable majority for the secret bal
lot.
Several Of the precincts have in
structed their delegates for neither
the secret nor the open ballots, and
no decision, has been made by the
delegations except that they will
abide by the majority report of the
rules. Under these circumstances
the asecret ballot" will receive sup
port. from delegations which are not
deffniteIy in favor Of this plan. Is
A feature Of the mornings develop
ments was the withdrawal of Jack
Lucas from the supervisopiaI race and
the possibility that EDH. Paris will
become ! candidate. John n. Craig
is still IN It, and w. n. Hoogs, who
withdrew "conditionaIly,", may re-en-
ter. Hoees declared to the Star-5uI-
Ietin this morning that he will not re-
enter the race unless Lucas and Craig
Withdraw, but there was story to-
day that he would possibly enter If
either Lucas or Craig Withdrew.
The voting at the convention will
be by secret ballot unless the conlen-
ton overthrows the majority report of
the committee on rules and accepts
the minority report which contains
compromise offered by John H. Wise
that each precinct vote on its candid
ate and permit the chairman of the
delegation to cast the vote in the con-
vention.
The committee as framed by Lorrin
Andrews and announced through
Chairman Cox met following the re-
cess of the convention at Andrews
Office. It was composed of L. A. IN
drews, John Wise, W. Henry, N. Fer
nandez, J. C. Cohen, e. M. Seoville, j.

The first indications Of oil were
