BOND CAMPAIGN
GAINS STRENGTH

With the water and sewer bond cleo
ton only five days away the remark,
Lets make it unanimous is being
heard on every side and with this
idea gaining weight each day the GER
tainty CT the bonds passing February
81 is becoming brighter. A canvass
OF every class of men in the city, from
professional to workmen, finds very
few who really are opposed to the
bond issue, which has for its object
the giving of Honolulu pure water and
a sanitary living condition.
Wednesday night all the moving pic
ture houses in the city showed slides
Illustrating in a snappy way what the
bond issue means to Honolulu These
are to be run every night until Tues
day, the day before election. In a
graphic manner the slides show how
the Maikiki, Manoa, Waikiki, Kaimuki,
,Kalihi, Palama and central districts
will be given better water system
and the Kewalo, Punahou, Kalihi, Iwi-
lei, Nuuanu and Waikiki districts a
sanitary sewer system.
II has been suggested by number
of citizens that a great deal of the
work of getting the people out to vote
could be done by volunteers who wish
to see Honolulu made better and
cleaner city. Many volunteers can be
used, Harry Murray says. and all those
who wish to help should send their
names into headquarters, Kapiolani
building, or phone 2195

ttASkANS VOTED
DRY';TESI VOTE

People who are accustomed to think
of Alaska and the frozen north as the
land of gold and snow-shoes should
know that it is now a country of coal
and railroads and one where Copper
is King ~
H. F. Suessdorf, a wealthy miner
and hotel man living at Valdez, who
| is spending several, weeks in Hawaii,
seeing all the islands, is the authority
for the foregoing. He is at the Blais-
dell Hotel and admits with enthusiasm
that Hawaii is the place for Alaskans
to play-in the winter time.
Alaska is still great gold country
even though the day of the mad stam-
pedes are about over he says. "but
copper mining is rapidly becoming the
great industry. One mine alone, the
Kennecott, has ,,,rned out over 81
SOC, 1000 worth of the yellow metal
recently in month.
The man from the Far North says
also that with railroads pushing into
the interior the mining of coal is be
coming great boon to the North.
Speaking on prohibition the visitor
says at the last election at test vote
taken by the residents the "drys" won.
Suessdorf owns the Copper Block
Hotel of Valdez and goes outside"
every year for vacation in some
warmer land. He has just spent a
month on Kauai with Fred Tracy of
the Kappa Homestead and declares
wonderful tourist possibilities are on
the Garden Island. III
They do not have anything better
in the world than Waimea canyon"
he exclaimed. In itself it's worth
trip to Hawaii.

PUBLICITY IN SPUR

Hawaii has received great amount
of publicity in the latest issue of the

pages, fully illustrated, to Hawaii.
According to A. P. Taylor, secre-
tary Of the Hawaii Promotion Com.

SUGGEST ALL STAR
RED CROSS BENEFIT

New York, Dec. 21,-Tt isn't too late
yet for some other pugilistic champion
to get in on the wave Of popularity
that seems headed toward Jess VIII
lard. It wouldn't be at all out OF
alignment If Mike Gibbons and Benny
Leonard were to announce he would
meet any one as a seni-windup affair
TO the bigger heavyweight title match
and donate his services free.
In the case of Gibbons it would re-
quire his willingness to meet Mike
ODowd. the st. Paul youth who
bumped Al Mccoy off the pedestal.
It would add to the attractions of the
card if Leonard would meet Joe Well
ing or Johnny Dundee.
Either Of these bouts would add ire
mendously to the drawing power of
the event and would add thousands of
dollars to the Red Cross fund.
