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 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.
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 1
world.

resouiccs and possibilities of the Ne

PEOPLE OF JUGO-SLAVIA
IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE
BELGRADE.—Miss Malvine Hoff
man, a New York sculptress, who is
vice-chairman of the American
Jugo-Slav Relief committee, has just
completed an inspection trip through
Jugo-Slavia. She reports to Red
Cross headquarters here that the
new station stands in need of much
to earn.- it throuirh its reorganiza
tion period. War has left the peo
ple with virtually nothing.
“Life has become primitive in
Juge-Slavia." says Miss Hoffman.
“There are no modern methods of
communication left. Telephone, tel
egraph, train, and motor are crip
pled agencies. There is a shortage
of gasoline. Water supply systems
are in poor repair. There are no
raw materials for the making of
clothes, and the price of everything
' is prohibitive. Yet the people strug
gle or without a word of complaint,
1 no bitterness or feeling of resent
■ ment, only dogged determination +o
’ climb over this terrible period and
make a united country out of all
this pain and sacrifice."
The Sign Language.
■ Ephum Johnson was up before
. Judge Shimmerplate on a cruelty to
■ animals charge.
"Deed. Ah wasn’t abusin' dat
mule. Judge." the old man de
, murred.
, “Did you not strike it repeatedly
with a club?"
“Yassah.”
“And do you not know that you
can accomplish more with animals
by speaking to them?”
"Yassah, but this critter am dif
ferent. He am so deef he can’t
hear me when Ah speaks to him in
de usual way. Ah has to com
municate wid him in de sign lan
guage.”—Charleston Mail.
O. Otterson arrived in town to
day from the Tolovana district.
