The Nenana district offers 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.
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 Mi 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

AMERICAN«
ALARMSEHGLAND
LONDON.—.England is apprehen
sive lest the vocabularies of her
youth become corrupted throuch n
cursions of American slang.
Transatlantic tourists in England
note with interest the frequency
with which resort is made to “Yan
kee talk” by British song and play
writers seeking to enliven their pro
ductions. Bands and orchestras
throughout the country, when play
ing popular music, play American
selections almost exclusively. Ameri
can songs monopolize the English
music-hall and musical-comedy stage.
It is the sub-title of the Ameri
can moving-picture film which, it is
feared, constitutes the most men
acing threat to vaunted English
purity of speech.
j “The child at the pictures is pick
ing up a new language from the
slangy American films.” says a
critic in a contribution to the
London Daily News, headed “The
Vulgar Tongue.”
“I visited two picture theaters
today for the express purpose of
collecting slang phrases and of no
ticing the effect of the new language
on the child as well as on the adult.
What the villain said to the hero
when the latter started to argue
with him was ‘Cut out that dope,'
and a hundred piping voices re
peated the injunction. The comic
man announced his marriage to the
Belle of Lumbertown by saying, ‘I'm
hitched.’
I “Of course, the American child
can comprehend these things much
better than the British child, who is
quite unfamiliar with such phrases.
Imagine a child going home to
mother and asking the meaning of
‘fly cop.' We may admire the terse
ness of the phrase, ‘Forget it,' but
does the sub-title, ‘The bun's gone
daffy,' convey anything to a theater
full of cockneys?
“In another picture a man traf
ticked secretly with Indians, ex
changing bottles of ‘firewater’ for
beaver skins, was sub-titled ‘The
Bootlegger'."

SOFT COAL IS COSTLY
FUEL NOW IN CHILE
SANTIAGO, Chile. — Soft coal
sells in Chile at about S25 a ton.
although the cost of its production
is said to be about S5 a ton at the
cost. The deficit in the earnings
of the railways is attributed here
to the high price of coal.
Three of the four big coal com
panies which heretofore worked the
mines of soft coal in Arauco prov
ince have lately combined. The
coal production of Chile amounts to
about 2,000,000 tons a year, while
the country needs 3,000,000 tons.
The coal deposits of Chile are said
to have been barely touched, owing
to lack of capital.

_
That the party which nominates
Herbert Hoover for President will
win the presidential election next
November is the opinion ol C. L.
Vawter, formerly United States mar
ital at Nome, before that prominent
in Republican politics in Montana,
and now deputy United States mar
shal at Tanana. Mr. Vawter recent
ly returned to Alaska from a four
months’ visit in California, and pave
his views on the political situation
to a representative of the Juneau
Empire, during- a brief stop at the
capital city.
‘‘Everywhere I have been,” said
Mr. Vawter, “particularly in Cali
fornia. including San Francisco and
Los Angeles, the sentiment is over
whelmingly for Hoover for Presi
dent, and people of the East, whom
I saw. all proclaim him to be the
strongest man in the country. They
look upon him as being a man with
a purpose in life, a genius in ex
ecutive ability, and one with high
ideals. It is believed that he better
than anyone else in the country is
ntted to have charge of the read
justment and reconstruction work
that is necessary."
Mrs. Vawter. who accompanied
her husband Outside last October,
will remain in the States until the
opening of navigation on the Yu
kon.
There is probably no offieia! in
Alaska who has been more gener
ally popular than Mr. Vawter. says
the Juneau paper. While a life
long Republican, his long and sat
isfactory service as United States
marshal at N'ome and as a deputy
marshal in the Fourth division was
taken into account when the Demo
cratic administration came into pow
er in 1913. and he was retained in
office.
DELEGATES ADVISED
TO TAKE OVERCOATS
SAX FRANCISCO. — "Brins a
warm overcoat.” is the advice given
by G. H. Willson, district forecaster
here, to every person who plan* to
attend the national Democratic con
vention in San Francisco. June 28.
Willson's records, dating to 1871.
show that 58.4 degrees is the av
erage mean temperature for the four
days beginning June 27.
“There’ll be no wilted collars
blamed to the climate." said Mr.
Willson. "The mornings in late June
are balmy, but frequently there is
a blustery breeze in the afternoon
and sea fog at night.”
Only eight times in nearly half a
century has the temperature in the
four days beginning June 27 reached
SO degrees. Records show that
rain has fallen in San Francisco
during the four-day period only five
times since 1£49.
