Hie Nenana district afters 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 arc 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

In a letter addressed to the Ne- ]
nana Commercial club, Delegate j
George B. Griggby states that he j
will do what he can to prevent the '
further operation of the cannery at i
the mouth of the Yukon river. The i
letter was written in reply to a i
letter from the club asking his help. ■
The delegate also informs the 1
club that he will try to secure seeds ]
for spring planting and will make ,
an effort to get them to Nenana in ,
ample time to be of use to local
planters. The last seeds received i
here did not arrive in time to be ;
of much use, and last year none at ,
all came.

APPEAL FOR AID
—
NEW YORK.—Disabled war vet
;rans in Boston, Cleveland, Cincin
iati, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Detroit,
Columbus, Ohio, San Francisco, Den
•er, New Orleans, and Minneapolis,
landicapped for life and unable to
nore than barely live on the Gov
ernment allowance of $80 a month
luring their vocational training, have
vritten to the headquarters of the j
’arry On association here, requcst
ng the establishment of Carry On i
■lubs in the cities named.
Accordinp to the projectors of
:he association, which provides the
vounded soldier with a pood home,
nourishing food, laundry, dental and
nedical care, transportation, and an
kllowance for clothes, all for $10
i week, a dependent ex-fighter is thus
eft with money enouph to keep up
lis war risk insurance and have some
imusement besides. Since last April,
ahen the first experimental club
was opened in New York, accom
modating forty men and ten extra
for meals, its work is said to have
shown preat possibilities. The or
ganization opened another New
York club on Christmas day, and the
week previously one with a capacity
for 150 men was opened in Wash
ington.
The enterprise is said to have
the approval of the American Le
gion, which is reported to be raising
$50,000 in New Orleans for a Carry
On club there. Denver, with 3,000
arrested tubercular cases, is also
reported to be preparing for a club
drive. Altogether there are be
tween 230,000 and 200,000 disabled
ex-service men in the United States.
The “boys” in the Carry On clyb
houses do much of the housework
and enforce their own regulations.
A big sunny living-room filled with
ex-soldiers, playing, reading and
chatting or singing to the accom
paniment of a phonograph or piano,
is the chief feature of the institu
tion. One young ex-fighter said he
gained 31 pounds in 30 days as a
result of the good food nnd care he
had received. The first club was
formed, it was said, because it was
shown by carefully compiled statis
tics that while an invalid young
man might be able to live on $80
a month in many parts of the coun
try, it was impossible to do so in a
large city.
GUARANTEED TRIP.
The Cooney dog stage will leave
the end of steel on Saturday and
guarantees to deliver passengers and
freight at Talkeetna by next Thurs
day, in time to catch the regular
train for Seward, making connec
tions with the steamship Alaska.
End of the Dream.

ENGLISHMEN EAT LESS
MEAT THAN FORMERLY
LONDON.—Englishmen used to
be considered the greatest meat
eaters in the world. Now, declares
the Society of Meat Importers, the
average Englishman eats 38 percent
less meat, than he did before the
war. Unless he can be induced to
!eat more of it, the country will be
faced with such a glut of meat as
it has never had before.
The annual consumption of meat
in the United Kingdom before the
war was about 1,800,000 tons, say
the importers. It is now only 1,
‘dOO.OOO tons. And this they con
tend is due entirely to the high cost
still maintained. Englishmen and
Englishwomen, too, are just as fond
of meat as ever, but they cannot
afford to eat as much of it as they
used to.
