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.

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

TAILOR SEEKS TO
REVOLUTIONIZE
MQmUMK
LONDON.—A man garbed in a
black frock coat, a ruffle, a pair of
pink breeches and bright colored
stockings very likely would evoke
astonishment if not ridicule were he
to stroll down Fifth avenue or
Broadway, but Henry Parkes, hailed
in London as “the hidden hand in
men’s fashions,” declares such res
toration of color and line to men’s
dress should be a logical and alto
gether proper aftermath of the war.
He is seeking to revolutionize men’s
dress—to popularize the "gallant”
styles of bygone days. His creed
• is that men want to cast off their
dark, unsymmetrical garments of
gloom and wear clothes of bright
hue and brilliant cut expressive of
a new age of heroism ana romance.
"VOLUNTEERS — Wanted, 1.000
sportsmen of good social position to
wear, upon a given date, new fash
ions for men designed to bring back
color and line into masculine at
tire."
This was the gist of a request the
apostle of the new era of ‘‘romantic
dress’ sought to have inserted in
’London papers. To convince news
paper representatives of his sinceri
|ty, Mr. Parkes exhibited fifteen sam
ple suits, or, rather, costumes.
I “These clothes,” said the revolu
tionist in fashions, indicating a pearl
gray evening dress with lace suffles,
“are not effeminate—can you call
the age of Sheridan and Garrick
and Walter Raleigh effeminate? It
, was a gallant age—and so is thi».
The end of every war herald a new
'age. The smartness of army regalia
has worked a sort of dress .revolu
■
tion for men. They see how much
' finer they look in waists and
breeches; the girls like them better,
they feel braver, more upright.”
I The "call for volunteers” was
Sprinted, but the last communique
from Mr. Parkes’ establishment,
which is to seme as headquarters
| during the proposed offensive on
j current men's fashions, was to the
i effect that the desired “war
i strength” of one thousand had not
been recruited.
