That yelIow-haired dollie that's going to
Molly
Is one present she might, have had.
For Molly behaved herself nicely.
She doesn't grumble. tell fbs or be
mean;
So her papa has written to Santa
Telling what good girl she's been,
Then there's Tommy's name on the pa
A real boy, but never sauces nor swears,
Nor is cruel to kitties. It's thousand
pities
That Freddie's mother had as few cares.
Now there's the names Of Mildred and
Jessie,
OF Margaret, Julia and Kate
When they go out to play and hear moth
er say,
Home early" they never are late.
Next comes Bobbie, that jolly young ras-
call
And Henry-the boys call him "Hen!"-
There's a red sled for Bob, and for
Henry a job
Playing war with his tin soldier men.
Dick will wake up to find a new tool set
Phil will get those shining new skates
Joe's football outfit sure will please him
He can now go and play with his mates
Bert likes story books and he'll get some
A hobby horse Harry will please;
Yes, each little tike will get what he
likes
Their good traits old Santa Claus sees.
AS he cons the long list DER and DER,
Look! he's smiling to think of the joy
That when Christmas bells ring, each
holiday thing
Will bring to each good girl and boy.
Remember, you little folks, always,
That obedience, kindness, good cheer
Are the things mamma wants and are
sure to ensconce
You in Santa Claus favor. Oh, hear
How the sleighbells are jingling and tin.
king,
How the reindeer are prancing to go
Swimming along DER the housetops,
Unmindful of cold, ice or snow.
Santas pack is crammed to o'erfowing;
Is your name on his visiting list?
Now in bed abide; down the chimney he'll
slide.
If you're good, your house won't be
missed.

For their Christmas eve drive through

They whinny and stamp; sleigh bells
Jingle,
d old Santa Claus sledge is piled
high
With an abundance of toys, books and
goodies
For all good little boys and girls;
Santa'n fill up the stockings while the
clock is tick -tocking,
And the snow fakes drift down in
whirls.
He'll slide down the chimney as usual
Fat, jolly. red-faced. full of glee-
He's been keeping tab on each one of you
In the picture he's looking to see
Which kiddies have minded their parents.
Which youngsters have done as they
ought;
If you have been good and done as you
should,
Old santa'll bring you a lot.
See! He's looking his list of names over.
Yes, and scratching the naughty ones
out;

Today he'd never need doubt
That Santa would fill up his stocking;

Much of tho loss has been covered by insurance and one direct result of SO many fires has been an attempt to raise the fire insurance risk rates on tanks.
 Bir steel storage tanks are rapidly increasing. Within the Midcoutinent oil field alone-and the biggest DOT ton of this is Oklahoma-therc are now over 50,oo0,000 barrels of crude oil in steel tankage, and approximate ly S5.0Oo,0OO barrels in the Cushing field alone.
 During the last year lightning has destroyed 100 of these 55,000 barrel steel tanks full of oil, or approximate ly 5,50O.OO0 barrels of crude oil, or a total of S1.SoO,ooo, and the price of crude onl for a whole year has been better than 50 cents a barrel or Q to- tai of S2,75O0OO; the total lass from lightning alone for this size tanks amount to Sf.050.OoO for tho last year.

AMERICAN BIPLANEs ARE
 SUPREME IN EUROPE

A year ago nearly everyone sup posed that the air craft of the future would be a monoplane. This type had won nearly all races and made and broke nearly all records. So great was its apparent superiority that practically all German heavier than-air machines belonged to a single type. the aube monoplane; and though France had not specialzi- ed to quite so great an extent, few of her air scouts drove biplanes.
 Today the biplane is supreme in military aviation in Europe Just why this is so is something of a pug gle to laymen; every advantage cited to explain the biplanes superiority is hotly disputed by champions of the ri- val machine. But there is no argu- ment about the fact. and that fact is an impressive testimonial to the pro- phetic sense of the Wright brothers, who pinned their faith to the double decked machine from the first
 American inventiveness is not the haphazard thing which some Europe an critics imagine. This is only one of many cases where old-world sa- wants have begun by belittling Yan- kee devices and ended by adopting them. Chicago Journal)

TRAVEL
 MAKING NEW
 RECORD AGAIN

SEATTLE. Aug. 28.-Seattlo steam ship officials are estimating the grand total of passengers Of an casses ticS- eted to Alaska during ihe eight months of the year ending August Sl, at 1S.000. This is larger than any full years business with the excep. ton of the Klondike's gold rush in 1882.
 Industrial activity at Juneau and Ketchilgan and the commencement Of work on the federal railroad at An- chorage. Cook inlet, is responsible for tho heavy travel to the Northland. Tourist business on all lines has also been exceptionally heavy and all rec ords for this class of travel for the year will be broken.
 Big Increase Shown.
 lt is estimated that the total com merce of Alaska this year will show an increase In valuation of S10.00O,0O0, and some shipping men are placing this figure as high as S25,OOO,OOO. Inc cluded In the estimate is the value of supplies, machinery groceries and general freight as well as the value of minerals. furs and fresh, canned and mild-cured fish.
 For the past three years the prod ucls of the sea in the North have led all others in value, but for 1915 1t Is estimated that copper will lead, fol- lowed by fish. with gold occupying third place In former years gold held first place in the value of the products of Alaska. Increased de- mands for copper due to the Europe an war. and the large amount of the metal used by Eastern manufacturers is responsible for the heavy move ment Of the ore and Q ready market at higher prices.
 Trade for July
 The report of the Seattle harbor de- partment for July shows the enor- nous trade between this port and the Northland. Imports from Alaska for July were valued at s2,346.775. includ- ling S1.l65.15O in gold bullion, S52,O52 in gold concentrates. s4O.577 worth of furs. $29135 worth of fresh halibut, S29,S54 worth of fresh salmon, $685. 539 worth of canned salmon, $S6,9S5 in silver ore s2,O4O in tin ore S2S,S02 worth of whale oil and $6,4OO worth of whale bone.
 Exports to Alaska for July were valued at $2.O49.225. including ship ments worth S532, 947 which went to Boring sea ports. The principal ex- ports were coal, flour, feed, groceries, dry goods, hardware and meats. - Seattle Post-Inteiligencer)

 CENTRAL POWER

 FAIRBANKS. Aug. iO.-rhat Q cen- trM power plant is needed ln the Tan ana valley now more than ever be- fore becomes evident after a trip ov- CT the creeks says Falcon Joslin, president of tho Tanana Valley rail- road, who has spent several days on the creeks during the past week An examination of large areas of un. worked ground and low grade placer propositions conyinces him that the crying need of the district is pow CT plant, which will furnish the op- orators with electricity at reason able rate
 In the opinion of Mr. Joslin, there are hundreds of acres of low grade placer ground that has heretofore been considered deep ground that could be worked with dredges, under proper conditions. Tho ground is frozen in many places and could not be handled by Q dredge unless it were thawed And electricity is the ] uNll MNNNa oA lllN MANo NAttN ~ft" "N used at 9 reasonable figure
 In some mining camps, and notab- ly Nome. the operators are drilling holes by electricity and then droping steam points in at a nominal cost
 The government is now providing a railroad, Mr. Joslin continues, and that is the first absolute necessity Second comes the matter of power and the railroad man thinks that lit- tie or no progress can be made to- ward making this Q large and perma- nent camp until someone builds such plant
 While in New York a big firm of engineers, with an international rep utatlon. asked Mr. Joslin regarding the feasibility and advisability of con. structing such a plant. They agreed that 1t would be a hard matter to interest capitalists, owing to the length of time their money would be tied up before it would bring in re- turns. These engineers thought the plan @ good one, after hearing Mfr I Joslin's description Of the country here, and they thought tho govern
