The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, farming, and |
trapping that are unequaled in any
! other section of Alaska. j
j Gold placers of known value, close
to Nenana, are producing annually sub- j
stantial amounts, and there are scores
of streams within the district on which
little or no prospecting has been done. j
These streams, until a short time ago j
almost inaccessible, are now easily j
reached by means of the new Govern- j
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 |
j 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 kiitds abounds in the
Nenana district, there are scores of
trout streams easy of access, and the
scenic wonders of the district are un
surpassed. Hie 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

IMMUNIS ARE
DIMING MORE
NEW YORK.—Though the tide of
immigration has begun to flow again
into the United States from Europe
so that incoming ships have tiheir
lower decks crowded with homeseek
ers from other lands, there is little
, prospect that relief is in sight for
the American housewife who has
I
been promising herself a cook or
maid-of-all-service to be recruited
from the newcomers. At least, that
,is the opinion of Superintendent P.
A. Baker of the United States im
migration station on Ellis island.
‘•Immigration has been increasing
by leaps and bounds,” Mr. Baker
said, “and it is a hopeful sign that
'the aliens arriving in this port dur
ing the last few weeks have ex
ceeded the number going back to
their native lands by many thou
i sands. Last week six times as many
came in as qualified to leave the
country.
“People who think the servant
'girl problem is going to be solved
soon will be disappointed if they
are depending on the women, immi
grants from Ireland and the Scan
dinavian countries. Plenty of them
are arriving on every boat, but
; they turn up their noses at the
thought of menial labor. They have
itheir minds set on getting work in
the better factories, principally those
manufacturing luxuries such as ean
:dy and women’s finery. They want
I to get into places where employes
(are well treated and into localities
| where housing facilities are best so
that they can live on the scale jus
tified by the high wages paid them,
i If employers want to attract these
] classes of women immigrants the*
had better look to the reputations
'of their factories for pleasant work
j ing conditions.”
j Mr. Baker scouted the idea thal
(prohibition was one reason why im
I migration was not gaining more rap
fidly. He said the foreigners weri
| coming in at about one-third tht
(rate of the year immediately pre
{ceding the European war. The prin
jcipal reason why more were noi
looming was that the men are ur
gently needed in their own coun
tries, some of which, notably Poland
(are supporting huge armies whic!
i use up a large part of their mat

power, with the result that those
who are free to do civilian work
command wages comparable to those
paid in this country.
The present wave of immigration
originates in about the same coun
tries as before the war, with the
exception of Germany and Austria
Hungary. Italy furnishes by far
the greatest number. These are
largely unskilled laborers who find
their way into the big cities all over
the country, where they go into the
big industries and mines.
Only in the case of one country
is the outgoing population greater
than that coming in. This is Poland,
whose nationals besiege the Polish
consulate daily in great numbers,
seeking passports. About 8,000 of
these passports were issued last
month, and nearly as many in each
of the months preceding since the
first of the year They are going
back, it is generally believed, be
cause of homesickness and anxiety
over the welfare of relatives in the
war zones.
