Just a little before the noon hour stores and other places of business were left to themselves when the citizens of Petersburg heard the hum of the motors of the three aero-marine planes. Glid- ing down to the still waters of the best harbor in Alaska about elev- en-thirty Friday morning the little fleet completed it's journey from Ketchikan in little over one hour.
 Lieutenant Wyatt is in command of this air-mapping expedition and hSe a crew of nine in the three ships. Capt. Speer in command of the Gannut, mother ship of the fleet is also with the flying squad ron. All the officers of this ex- petition were also visitors with the planes.
 The mapping of the Revillagedo and Prince of Wales Islands is al- most completed. The expedition will return to Ketchikan where they will complete mapping of that section, then return here from which base they will survey Wrangell and Petersburg sections.
 This trip to Petersburg is in the nature of a scouting trip for a base from which operations can be centered the balance of the sum- mer. Lieutenant Wyatt expressed himself as pleased with the landing base and thought it very probable that the Gannut would be stationed here with her crew of 125 men.

comes not as a surprise. The deal whereby MT. Boyle was to with draw was first preached by the Hon. Lester Gore of Ketchikan to q meeting of Independent" polit- lcal leaders of Ketchikan. Coming as a bolt from the clear sky Hon. Griggsby refused to endorse either pr. Bunnel of tairbanks College or Tom MarQuam until such a time as he could reconcile his party prin- cipIes to that of the Independent party.
 That the Democratic party has been betrayed by It's leaders and that seIf-respeCung men are made out political puppets is evidenced by the following letter which is but pitiable attempt to justify the defeat ot MT. Adams of Nome and the withdrawal of MT. Boyle. That MT. DonOnOe is pleased to endorse self-styled Independent RepuDucan" rather surprises us for it is rather difficult for us to picture a hard boiled Democrat in the same political bed with reac- tionary Republican.
 Juneau, Alaska, June 30, 1926. Hon. Thomas J. Donohoe,
 Democratic National Committee
 man.
 Cordova, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 After serious consideration of all the political conditions in Alaska have concluded to withdraw from the contest for Delegate to Congress as the Democratic nominee, for reasons as follows:
 CD When l filed my declaration of candidacy l naturally supposed that there would be a Democratic Legislative ticket in each of the four Judicial Divisions of the Ter ritory. Instead of that we find that in only the Third Division is there a complete Democratic ticket. The Democrats in the First, Second and Fourth Divisions elected to join independent movements, based upon local and Territorial issues rather than along National party lines. The effect of this situation, ii I should remain a candidate, would be that in three of the four Divisions 1 would be the only Democratic nominee in the field and would have to make a cam- paign without local organizations behind me, which, in my opinion, would make success impossible.
 CD In the First and Fourth Divisions the Democrats and others who generally supported my can- didacy for Delegate to Congress in 1924 have united in bringing out straight independent legislative tickets, and have openly endorsed IA@ AA0OPChoOhb Thomas A. MarQuam for Delegate to Congress. Under the circum- stances coulG not hope for gen. eral support from those Divisions, Or even the normal Democratic vote.
 (3) The fact that the Democrats in most of the Territory have join- ed independent movements which have endorsed the candidacy of MT. MarQuam creates a situation where the forces that usually cooperate in Alaska public matters would be divided and weakened if I should remain in he field as a candidate.
 Under all the circumstances. therefore, I feel that I am betray- ing no trust by withdrawing, for the issues for which the Democrats of Alaska stand are in capable hands. l cannot escape the convic- tion that my withdrawal will lay the foundation for unification of ef- forts and make success for the is- sues Democrats generally favor more certain.
 Sincerely yours,
 FRANK A. BOYLE.

COMING!
To Demonstrate
Remarkable New
RUPTU RE
INVENTION

If you are ruptured and wear
truss, now is your opportunity to get
a FREE TRIAL of the most scientifi-
cally constructed Rupture Support
ever invented.
William S. Rice. Adams, y. Y, orig
inator of the Rice (Non- SurgicaD
Rupture Method, is sending his rep
resentative to the Augusta House.
Augusta, Me, from Friday noon, Oct
until Saturday evening, Oct. to
personally explain and demonstrate
his wonderful New Rupture Invention
entirely free to every man, woman
and child who is ruptured.
1t is absolutely guaranteed to hold
any rupture, large or small, no mat
ter where located and afford proper
protection at all times.
1t is positively the most comfort
able for every day wear at all kinds
of work and can be worn nights and
at all other times with no discom
fort.
1t is guaranteed not to slip out OF
place under any circumstances and
the pressure so easily adjusts itself
to all positions and movements of the
body that there is no cutting or
chatting.
It has proven the only properly
constructed Rupture Support ever
supplied for ruptured women, can be
worn with or withot the corset and
actually improves the abdominal out
lines.
1t is equally valuable for ruptured
children as it allows for full normal
growth and development without
limiting youthful activities or allow
ing the slightest protusion of the rup-
ture.
Pads are made Of soft, resilient
material. light, durable and comfort
able. Hug the flesh snugly yet do not
irritate They are designed and
shaped to fit and give pressure at the
right spot so the bowel cannot pos
sibly escape.
Hundreds of thousands in use all
over the civilized world, and thou
sands are throwing all trusSes on the
scrap heap after a brief use of this
scientific Rupture support.
THE FREE TRIAL
Is for every man, woman and child
who is ruptured. So don't fail to call
and test the exceptional merits of
this guaranteed Rupture and Weak
ness support. 1t has no equal and is
being recommended by physicians
and hospitals everywhere. Call any
time from to - A NJ, . to p NJ.
or Z to 9 evenings. The test, remem-
Der, costs you nothing.
