The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, fanning, and
$1 n ** • • -
trapping that are unequaled in any
other section of Alaska.
Gold placers of known value, close
to Nenana, are producing annually sub
stantial amounts, and there are scores
of streams within the district on which
little or no prospecting has been done.
These streams, until a short time ago
almost inaccessible, are now easily
reached by means of the new Govern
ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon
will be the scene of much mining ac
tivity.
Fanning in the Nenana district has
the advantage of a growing season fully
ten days longer than that of any other
section of Interior Alaska. There is
much desirable land in the district open
to homesteaders, and marketing possi
bilities are being expanded steadily.
Fur-bearing animals of the Nenana
and adjacent districts are noted for the
fine quality of their fur, and trappers
annually bring large numbers of pelts
to Nenana and receive for them higher
prices than are obtained for the average
furs of other districts.
Game of all kinds abounds in the
Nenana district, there are scores of
trout streams easy of access, and the
scenic wonders of the district are un
surpassed. The district is the natural
gateway to Mt. McKinley National
Park, and close to Nenana may be
viewed the largest coal ledges in the
i ' '' : - - i .
world.

resou;ces and possibilities of the Ne

MANY NEWLY RICH '
AMONG GERMANS
■ •* V.. , {.**'»
BRUSSELS. — Though Germany
may cry poverty, she counts among
her citizens many newly rich, says
a Belgian newspaper. Quoting the
.Voice of the People, of Frankfort,
the newspaper declares that, in 1917,
421 Germans admitted a revenue of
more than a million of marks. The
following year their number was in
creased to 504.
As to the farmers, the paper says
they do not know what to do with
their money. The savings banks in
Hesse were obliged to reduce to 2
percent the interest on deposits ex
ceeding 200 marks.
That Breezy Weitern Way.
They were playing poker in a
Western town. One of the players
was a stranger, and was getting a
'nice trimming. Finally, the sucker
saw one of the players give himself
j three aces from the bottom of the
pack.
j The sucker turned to the man be
dside him and said: “Did you see
that?"
“See what?" asked the man.
“Why, that fellow dealt himself
three aces from the bottom of the
'deck,” said the sucker,
j “Well, what about it?” asked the
man. “It was his deal, wasn’t it?”—

GRAFT CAUSES
SOVIET LEADERS
TO LOSE POWER
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY.—Sidelights on the
trend of events in Soviet Russia,
indicating that internal dissension
in the Bolshevik ranks is sapping
the power of the Soviet leaders, are
contained in the report of a sol
diers’ and sailors’ conference, de
tails of which recently reached Am
erican headquarters. The confer
ence was held in Petrograd in the
summer and much dissatisfaction at
conditions was displayed by the sol
diers, who charged that officers en
joyed special privileges and that af
fairs generally were worse than
they had been under the rule of the
former emperor.
Portions of the leport read:
‘‘The convention of the support
iers of the ‘Red’ guard and the
sailors, held in Petrograd, was at
tended by several thousand -from
! the army and the fleet. The min
jutes show that the commanders and
j the war commissioners still take ad
vantage of their office, and al
! though members of the communist
j party, are ever trying to secure
.special privileges. The soldiers and
: sailors were indignant because of
i the increase , in pay of the'com
manders and declared that condi
tions were worse now than those
; that prevailed under the regrime of
the emperor. They demanded that
: 1
i
the pay be equal for all, whether
the soldier be a private or a gen-;
leral.
‘"Complaints were made against
the conditions of the barracks, be
cause no repairs were made and
the funds appropriated for this pur
!pose went into the pockets of the
high officials. The condition of the
hospitals is still more deplorable
There are no doctors or medicine
and those really sick or wounded
lhave to shift the best thev can for
themselves. The worst problem of
all is to provide for the families of
soldiers in the field. Nothing is
done for them and the money for
them also disappears in the pockets
'of the official thieves.’

PARIS.—All tobacco shops thru

j co business. The stores are either
i owned outright by the government "
[ or their operation governed by regu- ,
lations which require proprietors to
act as sub-postmasters. Most of the
government-owned shops are con
ducted bv ex-soldiers on a commis
