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 be the scene of much mining ac
tivity.
Farming in the Nenana district has
tbe 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 coat ledges in the
world. u

resources and possibilities of the Ne

BERLIN'.—The German school li

i exerts will soon begin to eliminate
anything that “is contrary to the
spirit of the new time.” All books
that are chauvinistic, monarchistic,
i
militaristic, Byzantinish, natonalistic
and anti-semitic will be ruthlessly
removed. A committee has been
formed to begin the work immedi
' ately.

The “Hundred Per Cent Ameri
»n Club,” backed by the Loyal I.e
ion post of Anchorage, is demand
ig the resignation of certain offi
als of the Alaskan Engineering
jmmission, because their loyalty
nd activities in the time of need
ere not up to the mark, according
) information recently obtained by
le Alaska Dispatch. (Seattle) from
rrivals from Seward and Anchor
ge.
Taken as a whole, says the Dis
atch’s informant, the officials, high
nd low, of the Alaskan Engineering
ommission are as patriotic and
jyal to the Government as any
eople in the country, but on a big
ob like the building of the Gov
rnment railroad in Alaska, some
kulkers are bound to land positions
vho do not deserve them.
The complaint, in the form of
vriting, has been placed in the hands
if Colonel Frederick Mears, chair
nan of the engineering commission,
md a reasonable time will be given
lim to reach a decision in the mat
;er. It is learned that the chair
nan has informed the “Hundred
Per Cent American Club” that he
vill investigate the charges and give
lis earnest consideration to the mat
ter.
When America entered the world
war, hundreds of young fellows em
ployed on the railway job joined the
rolors forthwith, not waiting to be
drafted. Many of them left lucra
tive positions to fight for their coun
try. The records show that Alaska
sent more men to the army, accord
ing to population, than any other
portion or part of the United States,
Most of these young patriots came
from the railroa^ work.
Colonel Mears, himself, then a
member of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, quit his 810,000 a yeai
job and entered the army service
joining the expeditionary forces.
Many of his best men followed hi
fine example, among them Col. II. P
Warren, ('apt. Breck, Capt. Jones
and Maj. McFarland. The war end
ed, Col. Mea^s is back on the rail
road job again, being promoted tc
the chairmanship of th .* commission
Former employes who entered the
service were in most cases giver
their old positions again.
The complaint lodged by th<
“Hundred Per Cent American Club’
of Anchorage is no recent move
ment. AM during the war there wa:
quiet agitation against those whe
held lucrative jobs whom the peoph
thought should go to the front, be
ing physically able and otherwisi
qualified. But the shirkers electee
to remain at work.
When Colonel Mears was name<
chairman and went to Anchorage
he announced that the commissioi
would be reorganized. The reor
ganization was publicly announce;
December 1. The people were dis
appointed in seeing on the list o
officials some of the “stay-at-homes,
hence the action instituted by th.
patriotic club. If the club can mab
a reasonable showing in support o
its charges, those who know Colone
Mears say he will not hesitate b
take summary action and remov
the alleged shirkers.
Theodore Chapin, in charge o
the Anchorage office of the U. S
geological survey, and eonsultin
geologist to the Alaskan Engineerin
commission, has been granted a fur
lough by the survey and is going t
Mexico in the interests of an oi
company. He expects to return ii
June.
