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.

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

HITS IS SURE
SHOW WILL ME
In the opinion of Billy Coutts,
who returned today, with Mrs.
Coutts, from a several-day visit in
Fairbanks, the Nenana theatrical
company will score a big success in
the upper town. He predicts that
the Auditorium will be filled to ca
pacity, for the reason that everyone
in Fairbanks appears to be eager to
see the Nenanaites perform on the
stage.
Much interest has been aroused
’ in the production, he says, by the
' energetic advertising done by Fred
Douse. Pictures of the cast, taken
(in Nenana, have been placed to ad
vantage in Fairbanks windows, and
;Fred is doing a lot of boosting in
dividually, backed by the several
I Fairbanksans who were in Nenana
when the show was presented here.
I Mr. Coutts says further that Char
ley Beam is making elaborate prep
arations for the entertainment of
the Nenana visitors upon their ar
| rival in the upper town this eve
ning. He is decorating the Pioneer
.skating rink with colored lights and
|will stage an open-air festival there
tonight if weather conditions permit.
I Mr. and Mrs. Coutts went to
^Fairbanks on Tuesday.

The sanitary department has es
timated that it costs about fifty
cents to catch a rat. It is felt that I
this puts rat catching in the high- j
cost-of-killing class, and to keep up
the work that keeps down disease, j
the chief sanitary inspector is faced i
with the problem of giving the rat- *
hunters more pay and, at the same '
time, cutting down the cost per rat;
to the department.

IAZZ NOT NUISANCE,
ASSERTS ONE JUDGE;
i
LOS ANGELES.—Jazz music is |
lot a nuisance, acoording to a de-!
vision by Judge Lewis R. Works,!
in the Los Angeles county superior'
:ourt.
The city of Pasadena had brought j
suit against • a social club, whose ]
neighbors complained that its “jazz ■
music jarred on their nerves.”
Judge Works said: "Once jazz
music might have been construed.
as a nuisance. It is no longer so j
construed. If the music disturbs'
the residents of the neighborhood, I
am sorry, but this court cannot give
them relief."
