The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, farming, and
trapping that are unequaled in any
other section of Alaska.
V
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.

V
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

firms are making great efforts to
resume business with Germany. One
Japanese shipping company has
opened its offices in Hamburg and
a regular steamship service is run
ning to Japanese ports. Copper and
silk are the main exports from
Japan to Germany, while potash is
the chief article demanded from
Germany by Japan.
According to the Tageblatt, the
Japanese government is considering
a claim submitted by Germany that
the Shantung (Tsingtau-Tsinanfu >
railway is private and not state
property. In the latter case, the
railway would become forfeited to
Japan, in accordance with the terms
of the peace treaty.
Japan proposes to release all Ger
man property under her control up
to the value of 10,000 yen. Prop
erty' worth more will be subject to
a deduction of a certain percentage
to indemnify Japanese who have
claims against Germany for war
damages.
An inquiry into emigration possi
bilities from Germany to Japan
shows, the Tageblatt says, that al
though public feeling in Japan has
become generally favorable toward
Germans again, the prospects are
not favorable, except for engineers
and practical scientists. Foreign
manual laborers especially' are not
w-anted in Japan.

CUSTOMS IN FAR EAST
ARE CHANGING SLOWLY
TEHERAN.—Polygamy is dying
out in Persia—another
greatly advanced living
result of
costs, to
gether with jealousy, which is be
coming a more marked character
istic of Persian wives with the per
meation of Western ideas and stan
dards in the East.
With this change has come an
other—the custom of having family
names. A year ago the Persian
government made it compulsory for
people to adopt a surname. Before
that only peasants had any common
name in the family, the upper
classes possessing only one. A man,
for instance, might be called Ghaf
far simply, and his son Hassan,
with nothing to show their relation
ship.

FOR FAR NORTH PORT
SEATTLE—Mocking the perils of
the remote Arctic and insisting that
there is really no element of ro
mance in lighting the ice fields of
the Far North, Captain Axel Land
mark and Captain John Vatney set
sail recently on a 4,000-mile voyage
to the Kolyma river, Siberia, in the
little 56-foot powerboat Kolyma,
one of the greatest adventures
known to the Seven Seas in modern
times. They will remain in the
Kolyma district at least two years
They will have three men with
them as far as Nome. After that
they will go it alone.
The Kolyma river is in the Si
berian Arctic, 1,000 miles northwest
of Nome, and few boats reach the
stream. It enters the Arctic more
than 900 miles east of East cape,
the most westerly tip of the con
tinent of Asia. The only chart of
that vast stretch of water is the
rude one made by Nordenskjold, the
Russian explorer, in 1878 and 1879,
on his historic voyage from Norway
to Japan via the Arctic ocean.

PETERSBURG TEACHERS
START COMMUNITY ROW
! -
! Recently there was friction be
tween two teachers in the Peters
burg school. The school board was
called upon to settle the matter.
After holdinjr five sessions anil hear
ing all the testimony that was of
fered concerning the controversy
the board decided to let both teach
ers go. Patrons of the school im
mediately circulated a petition re
questing that one of the teachers
be retained. The entire school
board then tendered their resigna
tions. Other citizens of Petersburg
are now endeavoring to induce the
members of the school board to re
consider their resignations and re
