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.
Fanning 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. 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

TASKS ARE MANY
CHICAGO.—The directing genius
of four Republican conventions in
the past. Fred W. Upham. Republi
can national treasurer, this year has
planned his fifth and greatest one.
Mr. Upham has been chairman of
the Chicago convention committee
for 16 years, and in that time prob
ably has promoted more national
political gatherings than any other
man living. He has organized and
financed the local arrangements for
the Republican gatherings since
1904.
Every four years the planning of
the big gathering has become a
more complex and more costly af
fair. In 1904, the first year the
Republicans met at the Chicago
Coliseum, the convention arrange
ments cost $70,000. In 1916 the
expenses had increased to $110,000,
and this year the sum will exceed
$150,000.
To raise this money, contract for
building alterations, extra seats,
decorations, tickets, badges and all
the other myriad details of staging
the big quadrennial spectacle, in
which more than 13.000 delegates
and spectators will this year par
ticipate, is Upham's task.
The cost of altering the Coliseum
and decorating it will alone amount
to more than $50,000 this year.
The task of obtaining and then
safeguarding the tickets is a prob
lem in itself. The admission cards
are printed on safety paper, in
special inks, and then locked in
vaults until the Thursday before the
convention. N'one are sent by mail,
all being distributed here. In spite
of these precautions, many fall into
the hands of speculators, who retad
them at anywhere from $60 to $100
each; and even counterfeiting of
the cards is not unknown.
Mr. Upham. who has been trea
surer of the national committee
since February. 1918, has been as
sociated with national politics for
28 years. In 1892 he was a dele
gate to the national convention
from the Eighth Wisconsin district.
He represented a Chicago district
in 1912 and 1916 and ran on Gov
r.s. McDonald

SHORT-HAIRED WOMEN
ARE UP AGAINST BAN
LONDON.—The fashion of cut
ting women’s hair short is waning
and scores of short-haired women
are searching West End hairdress
ing shops for locks with which to
replace those of which they were
shorn a few months ago, when the
’•bobbing" craze was at its height.
This has created an abnormal de
mand for hair of all colors. Pos
sessors of rich auburn or white
locks of suitable length can obtain
$12 or $15 by submitting to the
“bobbing" operation.
There is some irony in the fact
that many London women who paid
five or six shillings a few months
ago to have their hair "bobbed"
and left the tresses with the hair
dresser, not knowing they might
have received money for them, are
now spending anxious hour: in other
shops in an often futile “matching
up” endeavor.

Declaring they will not partici
