'Hie 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.

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

LONDON. — The government's
anti-dumping bill now pending in
the house of commons authorizes
appointment of trade regulation
committee which would have power,
to prohibit the importation of goods,
at prices below the selling prices t
i
in the country of manufacture. j
This .committee also would be au-1
thorized to regulate temporarily the
exportation of certain goods and
the granting of credit for the pur-,
: pose of re-establishing overseas
trade.
i The committee would be composed
of the president of the Board of
Trade, three cabinet ministers,
three government officials, and some
members of the house of commons, j
| The bill would confer power upon
.the Board of Trade to temporarily!
j prohibit the importation of certain
j specified classes of goods which
!would compete unfairly with home
industries; but the Board of Trade’s
: embargo would last for only 21'
idays, and at the expiration of that
itime would be subject to the ap
proval of the trade regulation com
mittee.
I The Board of Trade, under the
bill, would have power to investi
gate the books of manufacturers
land sellers, and would be author
! ized, subject to the approval of the
j committee, to prohibit exportation
'until three years after the war of
; eleven specified articles, including
jgold and silver coin, fuel, meat,
;wheat, sugar, opium and cocaine,
j To promote foreign trade, the
I Board of Trade would be authorized
• to grant credits not exceeding £26,
000,000 at any one time. It would
.also enable it to insure goods sub
ject to extraordinary risks.

LAW UNPOPULAR
DUBLIN.—Much resentment has
i>een aroused among Irish motorists
!>y the government’s new order un
der which nobody is allowed to own
or drive an automobile in Ireland
unless he has obtained a permit
from the police.
It is intended to prevent the use
of automobiles as aids to crime.
Permits will be given only to per
sons concerning whose character
snd disposition the police are satis
lied. i
• l
Permits have already been re
fused on the ground that the ap
plicants are not loyal. Before a
permit is issued the applicant must
furnish two photographs, and de
scriptions of himself and his car.
The regulation applies to chauffeurs
as strictly as to owners, and the
Drivers and Mechanics’ union has
threatened to go on strike if it ;s
enforced.
Many Sinn Feiners and others
refuse to apply for motor permits.
Their cars will be liable to seizure. '
The police have power to enter any
garage, and the owner of a car can
be sentenced to imprisonment for
possessing it.
The order was provoked by the
fact that Sinn Fein raiders for
arms, and men who had attacked
police barracks, have escaped cap
ture by using fast cars and motor
cycles. Traders in cars and taxicab
owners say that the regulation will
kill their business.
REAR ADMIRAL DUMAS
PREDICTS MORE WARS
LONDON.—Rear Admiral Philap
Dumas expresses the belief that the
world is not through with war.
“Save the oil, take care of it and
preserve it,” he advised the Institu
tion of Petroleum Technologists the
other day. If for nothing elo*., we
shall require it for the wars of the
future, which, believe me, will come
despite the efforts of the late army
of geniuses in Paris to make fu
ture wars impossible.
“This has been a war waged
largely on oil. The next one will
be nearly wholly so, and Bismarck’s
dictum of ‘blood and iron’ brought
up to date will read ‘blood and oil’."
