The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, farming, 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 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.

GOVERNOR SAYS
ALASKA IS GOAL;
HEEPJS NEEDED
If industries and citizens of the
United States were to pay taxes in
proportion to those paid by indus
tries and citizens of Alaska, the
annual revenue of the United States
would be $20,000,000,000, Governor
Thomas Ripps, Jr., of Alaska, told
several hundred business men who
attended the luncheon of the mem
bers’ council of the Chamber of
Commerce at the Masonic clubrooms
in Seattle recently, accordinp to the
Seattle Times.
Governor Ripps, who described the
two months he spent in Washinp
ton, D. C., where he worked for
Alaskan development measures, as
“harrowinp,” said that members of
Conpress took notice of the above
statement and wondered at his state
ment that if the Government will
let Alaska keep the revenue from
its forests, mines, oil properties,
coal beds, and farms, it will not ask
the Government for the appropria
tion of one cent for the develop
ment of the Territory.
“There must be some system of
puttinp somethinp into Alaska; not
takinp everythinp out,’’ said the
Governor. “Some societies are even
takinp antiques away, and I hoped
that American soldiers would raid
Berlin and recover the most com
plete collection of Eskimo antiques
ever assembled in Alaska. Every
body seems anxious to take some
thinp away from us.
Must Cut Red Tape.
“Interests of Seattle and Alaska
are identical; as ithe Territory de
velops, so does Seattle. The people
of this city should make it a mattei
of immediate business to force Con
gress to see how Alaska has beer
Starved. We must cut the red tape
and I have had valuable assistance
from Seattle, and especially from the
Alaska bureau of i the Chamber o1
Commerce and the manager of tin
bureau, J. L. McPherson. We musl
keep departmental jurisdiction in Al
aska and not be forced to wail
upon slow-acting bureaus in Wash
. ington when we want action. Whe
the change is made, the Territory
will go ahead by leaps and bounds.
“Ten years ago, Alaska had doubh
the population she has today; th<
oil lands have been withdrawn, pa
per mills forced to close up on ac
count of the withdrawal of fores
lands, and the extreme eonservatioi
measures of 1906 caused Alaska ti
halt in the journey to the goal i
had set out to reach,
j “But I find more interest in Alas

ka, and there are hopeful signs. !
They used to ask me at the capital.
‘How cold is it up there?’ or ‘Was
the steamer able to leave Juneau?'
but today, now that they have been
aroused, they ask why pulp mills
are not working, why there is no de
velopment of oil and coal lands, why
our mineral product is not greater.
I tell them that the answer is found
in the extreme conservation measure
of 1906. We do not ask so much to
day for an appropriation as we do
that we be allowed to retain what
we produce. For instance, from the
seal islands alone the Government
received in one year $6,400,000 for
fox and sealskin sales. Yet Alaska
did not get one cent of that money."
More Roads Needed.
Governor Riggs called attention to
the lack of roads and trails in Alas
ka, pointing out that there are only
4,000 miles in the Territory. F.ach
mile the Government will build, he
said, will open up a mine, a mill or
a farm.
The Governor said he was im
pressed with the spirit of greed an 1
grab he saw in New York and in
the East, and said that he could not
see anything normal in that sort of
life as he saw it expressed while
away. “The avarice, greed and
profiteering I saw was appalling,
and the lights of Seattle gave me
a thrill of happiness.” he said. “I
want to live always in Alaska, but
if I cannot be there. 1 will live out
my life west of the Cascades," he
said.
The East had magnified the so
called soviet problem of Alaska, de
clared the Governor.
"One night I was called on the
phone in Washington, D. C.. and
told that Soviet Alaska was about to
sever relations with America," he
said. "But there will be no soviet
or any revolution in the Territory.
We are too much of Americans up
there and that form of anarchy
cannot live there any more than it
can live in Seattle."
