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
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 number^ of pelts
to Nenana and receive for them higher
prices than are obtained for the average
furs of other districts.
Game of ail 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 lodges in the
world.

resources and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the

“A noted man who recently vis
ited Alaska described it as a land
of many countries in one, with as
many controls, ' resulting in confu
sion, criticism and cussedness, delay
and despair, expense, excuses and
equivocation,” said J. L. McPher
son in a talk given before the mem
bers’ council of the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce, in the course of
which he made a itrong plea for
support of legislation which will
permit of a business administration
of Alaska.
i “No business man can handle his
business in the haphazard, ineffi
cient way in which we have ex
perimented with the development of
a region described by one of our
early historians as our first colony.
Yet nothing has been done to col
onize this region, unless it has been
I with federal agents and clerks, and
then for the summer only.
, “During the era of experimenta
tion the population of Alaska has
gradually decreased," he explained,
! “while the annual output of Alas
ka’s great store of natural resources
has mounted into the millions and
nearly a billion of dollars' worth of
resources has been taken from Alas
ka, and a few trails, roads and a
railroad which simply tend to make
easier the extraction of wealth rep
resent what the Government gave in
! return.
For Real Alaikans.
I “The resources were put there
for one purpose—the support of
men and women who call Alaska
,‘home',” said Mr. McPhersap. “And
this is the one end to which the
Alaska bureau of the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce will continue to
work until there is a utilization of
resources to create local industries
and a permanent prosperous cit
i
izenry.

national weakness; peopled with a

strongly contented citizenry it will
become the source of untold na
tional strength. The land has ev
erything essential to such a people,
and there is no reason why such I
should not live there and call it!
‘home.’ It is an area as great as
all of our Western and Rocky Moun
tain states, nine times as large as
the state of Washington, and I
question if there is a like area on
the face of the globe as rich in 1
diversified resources as the wonder!
land %f the North.
“It has gold, more universally dis
tributed than in any like area; cop
per deposits that rival those of the
Rocky Mountain sates; the only tin
deposits on the continent; silver,
lead, platinum, palladium, cinnabar,
antimony, all in commercial quan
tity; iron ores that include mag
netite, hematite and chrome that
will be the source of supply for the
steel industry of the Pacific; oil of
a paraffine base; marble that is the
source of supply for the finishing
of our public buildings of the West;
coal deposits that exceed in ton
nage the original deposits of the
state of Pennsylvania, and we know
only 40 percent of Alaska geolog
ically; gypsum, barytes; the richest
source of furs on the continent;
fishing resources that exceed in ex
tent and value those of any country
in the world, and grazing areas
which will be an important source
of meat supply.
“Our same ‘sourdough’ friends of
the North who today scotf at the
idea of any agricultural develop
ment in Alaska were those who
scoffed longest and loudest when
Rev. Sheldon .laekson led his first
reindeer into Alaska. That was
only 28 years ago. Today there are
in excess of 180,000 of these ani
mals. and more than 100,000 have
been killed for food. Those re
sponsible for this wonderful success
tell us that Alaska can care for
ten million reindeer.
“Timbered areas that should be
the center of a prosperous paper
industry we have allowed to rot,
while the province of British Co
lumbia has, during the last eight
years, built a paper pulp industry
that today ranks second in import
ance in the rich industries of our
neighboring country.
“How often we have heard that
they would never mature wheat in
Alaska. Last year over 1,000 bush
els were ground into flour at Fair
banks. The lands that are suscepti
ble of cultivation when cleared ag
gregate more than 100,000 square
miles, an area one and one-half
times the size of our state of Wash
ington.
j “And. as if such an array of nat
ural wealth was not sufficient, Alas
j ka has been endowed with a gran
deur of scenery unsurpassed by any
country in the world. Assured of
i proper steamship and hotel facili
ties, Alaska will become the tourist
. mecca of the continent. Alaska

those of our Northern interior states,
