| Inability on the part of the Home
| Rulers to secure their political timber
| for different offices in the legislature
and county, resulted in the, disband-
ment of the Home Rule county con-
Vention, which was held last night in
Motley hall.
With President and Vice President
Motley and kalauokalani, Sr., in the
chair, the Home Rulers assembled
last night to frame up their ticket for
the coming campaign.
Unfortunately. however, out of
about sixty people assembled the only
available candidates for different Of
fees were d. Kalauokalani, Sr., for
senator; D. Kaona, for representative
and J. A. Baker and NJ. o. Makekau
for supervisors.
The executive committee, with VIM
Mossman as chairman, was instructed
to select other aspiring candidates for
offices and report to the general as
sembly. Failing in this, the committee
will, it is said, recommend to the
Home Rule assembly for the endorse
ment of the Republican or Democrat
ic candidates, who have been regu-
larly nominated by their parties.
The Home Rule party, which has
existed for many years, since the an
nexation of these islands to the Unit
ed States, is gradually but surely
falling off. But the leaders, true to
their colors, are still holding on.
Motley stated yesterday that he was
prepared to go out in the campaign
as soon as he is able 1t is expected
that he will fire his first gun on Ha
wall, from the top of Maupa Kea, and
from there he will go to Maui, thence
to Oahu and Kauai.

dom for Rowland. He had been fight:
ing for an opportunity. and now that
the opportunity had come he was sure
that he would succeed. Swiftly. with
his hands thrust deep in his pockets.
he walked down the one main street
Of Prince Albert. putting out odorous
clouds of smoke from his cigar. every
fiber in him tingling with the new JOY
that had come into his life. Another
night would see him in LIE Pas. the lit
tie outpost sixty miles farther east Oh
the Saskatchewan Then hundred
miles by dog sledge and he would be
in the big wilderness camp where 800
men were already at work clearing a
way to the great bay to the north.
What glorious achievement that road
would be. 1t would remain for all
times rs cenotaph to his ability, his
courage and indomitable persistence.
1t was past 8 O'Clock when Howland
entered the little old WinsOr hotel.
The big room. through the windows OF
which he could look out on the street
and across the frozen Saskatchewan,
was almost empty In one corner, part
ly shrouded in gloom. sat half breed

from the Lac la Ronge country. and at
his feet cronched one of his wolfish
sledge dogs. Both were wideawake
and stared curiously at Howland as he
came in In front of the two large
windows sat half dozen men as silent
as the half breed. clad in moccasins
and thick caribou skin coats.
Feeling in his pocket for a cigar
Howland seated himself before one OF
the windows and proffered it to one OF
the men.
