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 stream?, 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.
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.
I'ur-bearing animals of the Xenana
and adjacent districts are noted for the
fine quality of their fur. and trappers
annually bring large numbers of pelts
to Xenana and receive for them higher
prices than are obtained for the average
furs of other districts.
Game of all kinds abounds in the
Xenana 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

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS.
Coblenz, Germany.—Continued short
age of raw material, increased cost
of coal and wages is being reflected
in a general increase in prices thru
out Germany, according to the Ger
man newspapers.
A Hamburg rubber goods com
pany has announced a 30 percent
increase in the cost of all goods.
Leather goods have gone up in price
enormously. Some dealers say the
price has reached such a stage that
they believe it will be virtually im
possible to do business in the leather
line if the price takes another jump.
Trade papers have recommended
that leather goods be permitted to
be imported free of luxury tax.
I German newspapers are contem
plating an increase both ir. the rate
of subscription and of advertising.
Despite the wail of high prices,
German newspapers published long
accounts recently to the effect that
many foreigners, especially Russians,
had been flocking to Germany to
take advantage of the low cost of
living due to the low value of the
mark. One newspaper says: “The
cost of living for a foreigner in
Germany today is probably one
fourth of that abroad. Naturally
foreigners attracted by the cheap
ness of living conditions are flock
ing to various parts of Germany
Many of the-=e are Russian emi
grants who escaped from Stockholm
or Copenhagen with money enough
to last them a year or so. but who
by coming to Germany, find them
selves provided with enough mor,e>
to last them five or six years.”

which poisoned your stomach for
months and relieves ANY CASE
sour stomach, gas or constipation

stomach in condition to digest ANY
THING. A. D. Thompson, druggist.
