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.

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

On being elected to the presiden
cy of the Massachusetts senate, Mr.
Coolidge delivered a remarkable ad
dress. Here are one or two of his
thoughts on that occasion: ‘‘The wel
fare of the weakest and the welfare
of the most powerful are insepara
bly bound together. Industry can
not flourish if labor languish.
Transportation cannot prosper if
manufactures decline. The general
welfare cannot be provided for in
any one act, but it is well to re
member that the benefit of one is
the benefit of all and the neglect of
one is the neglect of all. The sus
pension of one man’s dividends is
the suspension of another man's pay
envelope.
“The latest, most modern and
nearest perfect system that states
manship has devised is representa
tive government. Its weakness is
the weakness of us imperfect beings
who administer it. Its strength is
that even such administration se
cures to the people more blessings
than any other system ever pro
duced. No nation has discarded it
and retined liberty. Representative
government must be preserved.
The Individual’s Rights.
“The people cannot look to legis
lation generally for success. In
dustry, thrift, character are not con
ferred by act or resolve. Govern
ment cannot relieve from toil. It
ican provide no substitute tor the
i rewards of service. It can, of
'course, care for the defective and
recognize distinguished merit. The
normal must care for themselves.
Self-government means self-support.
I “Ultimately property rights and
' personal rights are the same thing.
iThe one cannot be preserved and
i the other violated. Each man is en
titled to his rights and the rewards
| of his services, be they never ■ so
| large or never so small.
“Do the day’s work—if it be to
■ protect the rights of the weak, if it
jbe to help a powerful corporation
I the better to serve the people—
whatever the opposition, do that.
Expect to be called a ‘stand-patter,’
but don’t be a ‘stand-patter.’ Ex
pect to be called a demagogue, but
don’t be a demagogue. Don’t hesi
tate to be as revolutionary as sci
ence. Don’t hesitate to be as reac
tionary as the multiplication table.
Don’t expect to build up the weak
by pulling down the strong. Don't
hurry to legislate. Give adminis
tration a chance to catch up with
| legislation.”
| Where could one hnd a nobler
(statement of American ideals than '
jin these words? “We need a broad-!
j er, firmer, deeper faith in the peo-;
j pie-—a faith that men desire to do
1 right, that the commonwealth is :
i i
|founded upon a righteousness that'
I will endure, a reconstructed faith :
!
j that the final approval of the people :
Ms given, not to demagogues, slavish 1

the hour, but to statesmen, minis

i
tering to their welfare, representing
their deep, silent, abiding convic
tions.”
In a public address on the nature
of politics Mr. Coolidge has given
us a glimpse of his attitude on the
responsibilities of public office:
j ‘‘Poltics is not an end but a
means. When we remember that
, city also means civilization, the
spurious presentment, mean and sor
did, drops away and the real figure
of the politician dignified and hon
orable, a minister to civilization,
author and finsher of government,
is revealed in its true and dignified
proportions. Public men must ex
pect criticism and be prepared to
endure false charges from their op
ponents. It is a matter of no great
concern to them. But public con
fidence in government is a matter
of great concern. We 1 eed forever
to member that representative gov
ernment does represent.
“We live under the fairest gov
ernment on earth, but it is not self
sustaining. There are selfishness
and injustice and evil in the \v( rid.
Some desire to use the pro'-esses of
government to their own ends. Some
desire to destroy the authority of
government altogether. Our insti
tutions are predicted on the rights
and corresponding duties, on the
worth, of the’individual. Laws do
not make reform. Reforms make
laws. We cannot look to govern
ment. We must look to ourselves.
There will come out of government
exactly what is put into it. Poli
tics is the process of action in pub
lic affairs. It is personal, inidvidu
al and nothing else. Destiny is in
you.”
It requires slight powers of dis
cernment to see that here is a mind
of extraordinary simplicity, penetra
tion and power. Inflexible integrity
backed by an indomitable will and
illumined by shrewd stood sense and
strong reasoning ability forms a
combination all too rare in either
public or private life today. It re
quires no argument to prove that
Calvin Coolidge is an extraordinary
personality and of great unused re
serve of initiative, independent in
thought, fearless in action and prac
tical to a degree.

DERRY BELIEVES OIL
WILL BE DEVELOPED
Charles A. Derry, of Cordova, one
of the recently elected delegates to
the Democratic national convention
to open in San Francisco on June
“28, predicts . a great future in oil
development in Alaska. Many peo
ple, he said at Juneau recently on
his way to the States, were disap
pointed that there was not more ex
citement attending the new regula
tions opening Alaskan oil fields to
development, but he is confident
that those who are taking out per
mits for prospecting will bring in
enough wells to attract attention
and capital from all over the coun-1
try. The Katalla fields, he says, are
being given considerable attention. 1
