The Nenana district •ffers oppor
tunities for prospecting, fanning, 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 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 Ls
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

SMUGGLERS ARE
M NOW ALONG
CANADIAN SIDE
BUFFALO, N. Y.—Old tricks are
being revived and new ones invent
ed by smugglers who are matching
their wits against those of the cus
toms officers in an effort to bring
contraband whisky from Canada into
the United States.
The tide of the whisky movement,
which for more than two years
flowed from the United States into
Canada, has turned back. The
same smugglers who once took long
V chances to send liquor across the
| border into Canada are now at
tempting to evade the American in
stead of Canadian laws.
There has been a partial lifting
of the ban in Canada. The order
in-council issued by the Dominion
' government in war-time, which pro
hibited inter-provincial traffic in in
itoxicatmg liquor, was rescinded on
| December 31.
j Ontario still has a dry law pro
hibiting the sale of liquor across
| bars or in any way except by gov
ernment vendor upon an order from
a physician. This Ontario law, how
ever, cannot prevent inter-province
■ traffic by mail and express. Conse
Squently, Americans who want to
'take chances with the customs laws
!have experienced little difficulty in
having liquor delivered at the Unit
ed States border.
Some of the tricks used to evade
detection by Canadian customs in
spectors when the movement of
liquor from the United States to
Canada was in progress were very
ingenious. Spare tires on automo
j biles turned out to be receptacles
| for contraband wet goods. Parti
tioned gasoline tanks served the
same purpose. A hot water bottle
used by a woman feigning illness
was found to contain whisky. A
i carload of scrap iron billed from
Detroit to Buffalo over the Michi
gan Central railroad was sidetrack
ed somewhere in Ontario and whis
ky was substituted for the iron.
jThe liquor was seized at Buffalo.
1 Customs inspectors here expect a
! revival of these tricks and develop
jment of others in order to bring
| liquor from Canada into the United
' States. The force of inspectors on
| this side of the Niagara river from
i Buffalo to Fort Niagara has been
i increased.
C. Dahl, who has a rabbit farm
on Spuhn island, across the bar from
Juneau, is raising Siberian hares,
and has already a steady tale for
the animals at 50 cents a pound.
These rabbits are also quite valua
ble for their fur and it is stated
they are quoted at $15 per pelt.
Mr. Dahl disposes of about 100
pounds per pelt.

FRANCE EXPECTS
GREAT INFLUX OF
YANKEE STUDENTS
PARIS.—This year is likely to
see a great influx of American stu
dents to French universities, in the
opinion of H. S. Krans, secretary of
the American University Union in
Europe. Mr. Krans’ new Paris
headquarters, facing the Luxerbourg
Gardens, are being fitted up to re
ceive and advise seekers after
knowledge from overseas.
Founded shortly after America's
entrance in the war, by fifteen of
the leading American universities
and colleges, the union now has 33
American learned institutions on its
membership list, including Harvard,
Yale, Columbia, Johns Hopkins,
Princeton, and other leading uni
versities and colleges throughout the
United States.
“Paris is destined to become the
brain of the world,” said Mr. Krans
to a correspondent of The Associat
ed Press. “German universities will
be largely avoided by Americans.
Dogged determination was shown by
one young New York student who
arrived here with the problem how
to board and live on six france a
day. Through the medium of the
union, a French landlady gave him
a small room for two france a day.
The young man cooks his own
meals and is ‘passing rich’ on four
francs a day.”
French teachers and students are
constant and eager inquirers at the
union’s Paris home. Many of them
are anxious to take a course of
studies in the United States. Four
teen French students are already
studying in American universities on
free scholarships from a fund col
lected by 6,000 American students
in recognition of the hospitality ex
tended to them by French universi
ties during the war.
The Society for American Fel
lowships in French universities is
planning to send 20 Americans each
year to the Sorbonne and other
French seats of learning; nor will
the Alsatian university of Strasburg
be neglected. Twenty-five scholar
ships for Americnn girls in France
are already filled.
DERELICT ARMY TRUCKS
ARE TO BE SALVAGED
LONDON. — I^ar^e numbers of
derelict army trucks now rusting
where they were abandoned in shell
swept areas in France are to be
“rescued” and brought back to Eng
land by the ministry of transport.
