Word comes from the interior that Tom Marquam, republican boss and a politician of undoubtedly ability, will make the race in 1926 for Dele gate to Congress. That the news is taken seriously is shown by the wind blast emanating from the Alaska Fisherman, the hermaphrodite organ of the men who toll, published at Ketchikan.- MT. Marquam will make a good race, if he decides to run, and will undoubtedly be credit to his constituents. He has a host of warm friends in every part of the Terri tory, and they are urging his candi- dacy.

THE TOYTOWN
STORY TELLER
PART ".

In spite of himself the tears began to
run down his cheeks as he turned the
reindeer slowly around and started back
for Toyland to tell his sad story to Mrs.
Santa and the gnornes who'd worked SO
hard all year to make the children happy.
The tears fell on the little toy airplane
and as they spattered on the tin Santa's
eyes opened wide with amazement The
toy airplane was growing bigger! AS he
watched, it grew and grew until it was
big enough for a man-for Santa him
sef-it was the biggest airplane in the
whole world!
The tiny little machine guns on the
front were life size and the motor began
to boom and whir until Santa was almost
deaf with the sound. The magic plane
the gnome had made for the best child in
the world was going to save for every
child his Christmas joy-and his belief in
Santa Claus!
Out of the sleigh he hoped, into the
plane, away! Over the mountain tops
to the very edge of the stars. In the dis
tance the robber plane again appeared as
tiny speck against the sky.
