DOING GOOD WORK.
The Commercial club of Nenana,
announces the Seattle Alas'ca Dis
patch, invites inquiries from pros
pectors, farmers, trappers, tourists,
anti all others interested in the re- J
sources anil possibilities of the N’e- j
liana district, and offers valuable!
information concerning the district
and the surrounding country.
The Nenana district offers oppor-j
tunities for prospecting, farming and j
trapping which are unequaled in any i
other section of Alaska. Referring j
to gold placers located near Ne-I
nana, the club would have it known i
that these gold placers of proved:
value are producing substantial;
amount annually and there are j
scores of streams within the dis
trict on which little or no oro.spect
ing has been done. The club af
firms that these streams, heretofore
almost inaccessible, are now easily
reached by means of the Alaska
Government railroad, and it is pre
dicted that, by reason of this fact,
these streams will, in the near fu
ture, become the scene Of lively' min
ing activities. It is further pointed
out that farming in the Nenana dis
trict has the advantage of a growing
season fully ten days longer than
that of any other section of Interior
Alaska, and that there are large
areas of desirable land in that sec
tion of the country open to home
steaders, with marketing possibili
ties steadily expanding.
As to the fur-bearing animals, the
elub directs attention to the fact
that those of Nenana and adjacent
regions are noted for the fine quality
of their fur, and that trappers bring
large numbers of pelts to Nenana
annually, where they receive higher
prices for them than are obtained
for the average furs of other dis
tricts. The club further states that
game of every description abounds
in the Nenana district, and that
there are scores of trout streams
easy of access, to say nothing of the
scenic wonders of that region which
are beautiful beyond description.
This district is the natural gateway
to Mt. McKinley National Park, and
close to Nenana may be viewed the
largest coal ledges in the world.
DEVELOPMENT PLANS.
'There promises to be considerable
activity in oil development in the
Territory during the next few
months, as several of the companies
which have kept up their assessment
work during the many years that
the land has been withdrawn, have
filed on their claims, with a priority
right to lease them under the act
recently passed by Congress, says
the Cordova Times.
The Chilkat Oil company has had
a patent to its ground and has sunk
twelve wells, eleven of which are
producers. None of these, however
has been drilled as deep as the
company intends to go, and the work
will now be pushed to ascertain
what can be found in oil at a much
greater depth.
The Alaska Consolidated company
which took over 42 claims of 16C
acres each from the old English
company, has arranged ito start wort
next month. Two rigs will be in
stalled, one on Bering river and the
other on Yakataga beach. The as
sessment work on these claims has
been kept up for sixteen years, ac
cording to Superintendent Beeper.
They are located in the Bering, Nic
kawak and Y'akataga fields.
THEY HAVE KEPT THE FAITH.
Time and again Poland through
the centuries has saved Europe from
destruction. Xo nation has held the
ideal of liberty in hig-her esteem.
Xo nation has been more shamefully
exploited and oppressed than this
brave land of the Sobieskis, the Pu
laskis and the Kossuths. With the
defeat of the Central Powers, Fate,
relenting, threw a prize to 'this
steadfast people—the prize of inde
pendence.
Much had we talked of the wrongs
of Poland, points out the Alaska
(Juneau) Daily Empire. The En
tente nations were moist with the
tears of pity shed because of her
woes, stern and unstinted in their
promises of aid and comfort in her
new hour of "deliverance.” But to
date the character of that assistance
has been shadowy. Poland again
stands practically alone as the bar
rier between Europe and destruc
tive forces. Notwithstanding the
fact that recently the Red armies
have seemed to weaken in their ef
forts to batter down the heroic re
sistance of the Poles, the white
emblemed banner still flutters in the
war winds and is in danger. The
Bolsheviki never will abandon the
attempt to surmount this barrier
while hope of success endures. And
they reasonably indulge this hope.
The Allies have failed miserably
in their “experiments” in Russia.
Kolchak is dead. Yudenitch and
Denikine are crushed, undone. The
Siberian fiasco has made of Western
power a mockery. The civilized
world is blindly sheltering behind
the ramparts of Polish heroism and
endurance. Lenine is no fool. He
knows that with Poland won he
will at lasit be knocking on the gate
which opens’the way to a Red in
undation of the world. He knows
that the overpowering of this fair
I land will bring him close to the sup
; plies he is so badly in need of, will
give him a vantage ground of in
[ calculable value.
Democracies, established and bud
ding, should waken to a proper sense
of their danger.

THOUSANDS JOIN
MESS
BUYING MOVE
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Leaders of
churches and women’s clubs and so -1
cial workers here are engaged in a
city'wide drive to induce residents
of Louisville to join in a campaign
to cut down the cost of living by
curtailing reckless buying at high I
[prices. Thousands have already!
joined and it is hoped eventually to
enlist 200,000 persons.
The movement was inaugurated
by Louisville club women. It was j
endorsed and given impetus by the :
Presbyterian Ministers’ circle, the j
Crescent Hill Forward club and the i
j Conference of Social Workers. ;
'Churches have approved it and the
• United Trades and Labor assembly j
; and the Building Trades council!
jhave been asked to join in a per
manent organization,
j It is proposed to organize a cheap
er living committee, to be composed ;
of representatives of many civic or- j
ganizations.
Mayor George W. Smith has giv-1
en the movement a semi-official en- !
jdorsement by announcing his ad-!
jherence, and Mrs. Smith has prom
ised that her household will be con
ducted as nearly as possible along
the lines of economy suggested by
the promoters of the idea.
The drive against reckless buying '
is headed by the Rev. Dr. Charles I
jw. Welch, president of the Louis-j
ville Ministerial association, who is
aided by a committee including in
membership a Roman Catholic priest
and a Jewish rabbi, as well as rep
resentatives of women’s clubs.
“Buy no new clothing, shoes or
other wearing apparel,” is the first
plank in the economy platform.
! “Wear what you have, no matter
how shabby or out of style, it con
tinues, and adds: “Reduce the con
sumption of meat in each house
hold; abstain from candy, soft drinks
and other confections; deposit mon
ey in the bank and keep a record
of money saved through practicing
economies.”
“If the people of Louisville will
take this movement seriously,” said
the Rev. Dr. Welch, “we actually
can force down prices here on the
necessaries of life. Persons gen
erally are spending money like
drunken sailors; labor, which should
ibe producing essentials, is devoted
|to non-essentials. This is not the
itime for overalls, except for work
ling people. We don’t want fads—
what we do want is at least 200,000
Louisville people to join this cam
paign. Let’s make it a badge of
honor to wear old clothes, carry
lunches to the office, abstain from
sweet and buy nothing not absolute
ly needed. Then watch prices drop.”
