Hie Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, farming, and
trapping that are unequaled in any
other section of Alaska.
Gold placers of Jmown value, close
i to Nenana, are producing annually sub
stantial ^mounts, 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
tine 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

TURKISH US
HAVE HARD TIME;
COSTS TOO HIGH
CONSTANTINOPLE. — Nowhere
has the high cost of living been felt
more keenly than in Turkish ha
rems. Men who were formerly able
to maintain many wives and concu
bines find their incomes insufficient
to keep up large establishments and
are forced to turn some of the
women adrift.
American women relief workers
who have been investigating social
and economic conditions say the
tragedies Turkish women have un
dergone as a result of the war are
even worse than in other European
countries, because of the utter help
lessness of the women and their
lack of training which might make
them self-supporting.
The sufferings of Moslem women
are worse in cities than in the coun
try, for the country women are fre
quently trained to do farm work
and are an asset to their husbands
rather than a liability. Further
more, the economic conditions have
not been disturbed so seriously in
rural districts. Farming goes on
much as usual. Women can find
employment in olive groves, at silk
culture, in fruit orchards, and even
in grain fields.
Since the war hits robbed so many
women of the husbands, fathers or
other male relatives upon whom they
were dependent, many city women
have forced themselves into employ
ment which was never before re
garded as proper for Moslem wom
en. Turkish women with their veils
thrown back from their faces may
now be seen as saleswomen in scores
of Constantinople shops. They are
even employed as street sweepers.
There has been a great outcry
against Moslem accepting employ
ment which forces them into associ
ation with men, especially Christian
men, but the economic pressure has
been so strong that religious preju
dices had to make way. The need
for nurses with the army gave Mos
lem women their first opportunity
to get hospital training and become
nurses. That was the entering wedge
which has opened the way into other
employments monopolized by Greek
and Armenian women. .Turkish
women may now be found in tele
phone exchanges. They are acting
as cashiers, janitors, and even street
car conductor’s.
Stern necessity has won for Turk
ish women an independence which
was undreamed of six years ago,
and the wail of the untrained wom
en forced to earn their livelihood
has aroused Turkish leaders to a
realization of the necessity for bet
ter and more practical education for
women.
