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

JAPAN PLANNING
NAVAL PROGRAM;
BUDGET BIG ONE
TOKIO. — The Japanese budget
for the next fiscal year amounts to
the equivalent of about $637,972,
011. An increase equivalent to
about $100,000,000 is asked by the
army and navy.
The minister of finances has stat
ed that it is highly important to
strengthen the national defense in
order that peace may be preserved
and the mechanism of communica
tion developed. Substantial increas
” es are also called for in the depart
* ments of education and communica
tion.
Referring to the naval expendi
ture. it was explained that, in the
extraordinary expenditures of the
navy, estimates have been included
for the completion of the so-called
“eight and eight squadron." (Eight
dreadnaughts and eight battle cruis
ers.) The proposed naval scheme
will cost about $375,975,000, of
which $40,000,000 appears in the
budget for the coming year.
It is proposed to begin the con
struction of the following warships:
Four battleships, four battle cruis
ers, twelve cruisers, thirty-seven de
stroyers, five gunboats, twelve spe
cial service ships, six mine sweepers,
and some submarines.
The increased expenditure will be
met principally by heavier income
tax, which will advance over that
of last year, by approximately 839,
000,000. The tax on sake, the Jap
anese national drink, which is made
from rice, also will be increased.
The shortage in the revenue will
be made good by the temporary sus
pension of the redemption of the
domestic national loan.
