The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, fanning, 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 l>e 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

PASSENGERS COME BACK;
WILL MAKE TRAIL TRIP
The marooned passengers of the
steamer Alaska, who were compell
to leave that ( boat at Tolovana be
cause of the abandonment of the
Whitehorse trip, were brought back
to town by the steamer Tanana, ar
; riving here Thursday night and they
| are now arranging to make the
trip to the coast by trail. Several
! went to Fairbanks yesterday and
1 will go out by way of the Richard
son trail and the others are trying
to arrange for transportation over
the Broad Pass, trail. The members
of the crews of the steamers Tana
na and Alaska were among those
leaving for Fairbanks yesterday.
The Tanana, with Captain George
'Green, left for Tolovana yesterdaj
afternoon to go into winter quart
! ers there and after the boat has
.been safely put away the remain
i ing members of the crew will follow
i the others to the coast.
The returning passengers are loud
; in their praise of Captain Green, tc
; whom they give full credit for get
i ting them back to Nenana.But foi
i his timely intervention, they say,
they would have been compelled to
walk back, leaving their baggage to
be freighted up later in the month.
There are many who believe that
j warm weather will clear the rivet
of ice later in the month, but the
' water is so low in the Tanana and
: Yukon rivers that a resumption ot
j navigation is at best only a remote
! possibility. With crews gone it would
i be quite out of the question to at
I tempt to resume interrupted voy
; ages.

GERMAN PRINCE
| DISCUSSES REDS
ON HUN BORDERS
—
| MANNHEIM, GERMAN, Oct. 9—
| "The present military operations are
I '
only a very minor part of a world
wide offensive which Soviet Russia
is now setting in motion,” declared
Prince Max of Baden in the course
of a lengthy interview which ap
; pears today in the Baden State
Gazette. Asked whether he saw a
way out of the present dilemma
; for Germany, the prince says:
| "There is only one slender hope;
[it consists in an unconditional main
j tenance of our neutrality both to
i the east and the west, and in one
! last desperate effort to effect a
' revision of the Versailles peace
treaty."
The prince believes that what he
^ calls the German resistance to the
moral invasion of bolshevism is
bound to crumble down if the check
| ing pressure from the west is kept
up.
“It would be doing scant justice
, to Lenine's uncanny personality," he
continued, “if one were to believe
that he is capable of keeping more
than a sham peace with so-called
; capitalistic states. Lenine believes
with religious fanaticism in the vic
‘ torious march of his idea: the dic
tatorship of the proletariat or of tho
• communistic portion of the prole
tariat. He is, of course, enough of
a psychologist to understand that a
i
military invasion of any country he
wants to disrupt would be the very
means of consolidating it. His plan
would rather consist in provoking
land fostering civil war in the border
, ing states so that, when the time
.was ripe for invasion, he would find
Ian open door andaunion of com
rades."
j Prince Max believes that the pros
I pects of such a plan succeeding in
! Germany are not wholly unpromis
i ing, as the "moral invasion" he de
! dares has already set in and news
j from East Prussia plainly indicates ;
! that the red propaganda among i
| farm laborers there is already tak-1
| ing effect.
j "Europe today is aflame,” he
concludes, “and the task of ex
tinguishing the conflagration cannot
! be postponed. The situation demands i
j the restoration of President Wilson’s !
j ‘fourteen points’, which constituted !
the basis for the treaty, but which j
were wholly ignored at Versailles. |
All artificial edifices erected there j
! have already tumbled down or are !
threatened with imminent collapse, i
The fate of Poland is a horrible ex- !
ample. The Polish state can only be
revived if. in keeping with Presi
dent Wilson’s words, it comprises
an unchallengeable Polish popula
tion.”
