The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, farming, and
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 he the scene of much mining ac
tivity.
Farming 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
world.

resources and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the

MEXICO CITY.—American jazz
music, which until recently has been
leceived coldly by the Mexican pub
lic, is gaining in favor and no
dance program or cafe concert here
is now complete unless it includes
three or four selections reminiscent
of Broadway’s whining saxaphones
and syncopated pianos. The reason
for the slowness with which the
capital has succumbed to the jazz
is that the latter possesses none of
the rhythm and seductive melody
jof native Mexican music, nor of the
Spanish and Cuban music, which is
| next in popularity,
j Bands and orchestras abound
.here. The Mexican is a natural
musician and the songs that have
been written for him range from
i the wild rebel chant of “l^a Cucara
Icha" to the dreamy, romantic “Beau
jtiful Mexico.”
j Concerts are given in the parks.
Although termed “popular,” they
jare made up for the most part of
j grand opera selections, and Ameri
jean ragtime as yet has not found a
| place on such programs. The Mexi
I ca n is a lover of classical music.
PONEERS POSTPONE
DELEGATE ELECTION
The election of one deleft© at
large to the Grand igloo meeting,
and six alternates, scheduled to oc
held at the meeting of Nenana igloo,
No. 17, Pioneers of Alaska, on Mon
day evening, was postponed until
; the next regular meeting. It is
; probable that members of the local
I igloo, now residents of Anchorage,
will be asked to act as representa
tives, or it may be that the choice
will fall on members contemplating
'a trip to the coast in the near fu
ture. The Grand igloo session will
begin on March 8th.
Monday’s meeting of the oldtim
ers was confined to the considera
tion of routine business, but it is
expected that there will be eonsid
:erable doing at the next meeting,
jin addition to the selection of the
grand igloo delegate and alternates,
j Several applications for member
■ship, it is believed, will be up for
; consideration.

NOW
The native residents of the village
of Angoon, across the channel from
Killisnoo, in Southeastern Alaska,
have petitioned for, and have been
granted a school. Angoon has been
regarded as something of an outcast
among the villages of Alaska, in
that the native inhabitants, until
now, have discouraged the establish
ment of a Government school there
and always appeared to be “agin"
the Government. The native grouch
grew out of an occurrence that
happened away back in the seven- j
ties. A plant for making fertilizer
was in operation at Killisnoo in that
ancient day and a native employe
was killed in some way. The oper-,
ating company failed to give due
reparation to the relatives of the
departed and the natives threatened
vengeance against the whites. Word
was sent to Sitka, then the capital
of the Territory, and the revenue
cutter Bear was despatched to the
scene. Upon the arrival of the Bear
the natives fled from Angoon,
whereupon the guns of the revenue
cutter razed the village. This ex
plains the grouch of the natives of
Angoon against the Government,
but which time appears to have \
healed.

about ready to start across the lake, j
only to be halted by municipal I

Goyne was in Seattle on his way
