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
world.

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

TURN SAM COTE FREE
Sam Cote, who was recently
placed under arrest in Xenana on
the charge of violating the Alaska
bone dry law, and taken to Hot
Springs by Deputy Marshal Anders,
returned to Nenana today and re
ports that his trial resulted in an
acquittal by the jury.
He explains that Anders found a
barrel of soured blueberries in his
cabin in the Hot Springs district
and swore out the warrant for his
arrest. He was unable to convince
the jury, however, that the berries
constituted a violation of the law.
Cote was put to considerable ex
pense by what he believes to have
been the unwarranted action of the
Hot Springs deputy.

FAIRBANKS DANCERS
STAGE SOCIAL BOUT
Xenana has nothing on Fairbanks
when it comes to splitting hairs in
social circles. Reports received from
the upper town today state that
strained relations exist among the
dancers there, with the result that
two dances are to be held tonight,
one at Eagle hall and the other at
Masonc hall.
The trouble started when it be
came known that a private dance
had been arranged, with invitations
extended to a limited number of
friends of those responsible for the
party. Leaders of the uninvited
rounded up the outcasts and they
will make merry at a public dance
at Eagle hall, where everyone will
be welcomed.
All of which makes money for
the musicians, rents halls, and gives
the newspapers something to talk
about.

JUST FROM ENGLAND.
The following story was told at ;
a public gathering, which included!
ladies, at Beckenham, the other day,
and therefore I may be pardoned I
for repeating it. Queen Mary was'
visiting a hospital and came across :
a wounded soldier sitting up in bed.
On his bare chest, which was show
ing through an open shirt, her
majesty noticed a tattooed repre
sentation of the late King Edward.
On complimenting the man upon
his loyalty, he showed her a picture
of King George on his right arm. i
“And I suppose 1 am not in the col
lection," remarked the queen. "Oh,
yes, you are, your majesty," replied
the soldier, baring his left arm, j
where there was a portrait of the
queen. “No other royalties on you.
I suppose?" said the queen. “Well,
hum. ahem," rejoined the tattooed!
one, “I’m sitting on the kaiser." '
