Hie 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

CAPITAL IS NOW
VIENNA. — Outwardly Vienna is
the same as before the war. but
actually this greaf'city is stricken.
Dozens of theaters and operas are
open, cafes and music halls are
crowded, but a very large part of
the population is in poverty, lack
ing not only food and clothing, but
a place to live. The streets are
thronged, shops open, shop windows
filled with the articles of luxury
for which Vienna is famous, but the
better part of the stock is to be
found in the windows,
j Virtually everything is priced in
(hundreds of crowns. Austrian mon
ley, paper only and unbacked by
j precious metal, goes steadily down.
Even the swarms of beggars that
infest the streets look reproachfully
at anything less than the pink piece
| of paper that indicates two crotvns.
i It costs a hundred crowns to go a
few blocks by carriage, taxicabs be
ing few and almost prohibitive even
in the depreciated money; while the
street porters, old men who act as
■messengers and carriers, will not
! cross the street for less than twenty
^ crowns.
Once the best dressed town in the
world, Vienna is plain to the point
^of shabbiness. Most of the women
j wear unmistakably home-made
gowns, and the men's clothing shows
the mark of wear, the cleaner, the
mender, and often the tailors who
.turn the unwearable inside out.
j “It would cost me four months’
j salary to buy a new suit of clothes
now,” remarked a foreign office of
jficial, as he smiled at his five-year
old serge, “and I must eat occa
sionally.”
The other day there was a great
demonstration of state pensioner?
.before the house of parliament, and
(some of the cases cited by the depu
tation to the government were piti
jful. These pensioners said they were
starving.
j Meantime the press openly charg
es that backdoor or illicit trade in
food supplies and other commodities
supposedly under government con
itrol is widely prevalent.
Vienna is suffering from lack of
housing facilities. The population
is estimated at 200,000 to 400,00(1
more than in normal times. The
city government lately has taken a

few half-hearted steps in an effort
to bring relief. A large number
of so-called hotels of rather evil
reputation are to be cleaned out of j
| their present occupants and turned
over as lodgings for the poor. The !
same order expels from their prem- \
ises, often nearly palatial, and con
fiscates for public housing purposes,
the homes of the rich demi-monde. I
Also it is contemplated to make
use of some of the splendid and
practically unoccupied private pal- ,
aces.
The papers and the more public
spirited and farseeing men are
sounding the alarm of a fuelless
winter. The Inter-Allied Coal Com
mission has been trying to provide
at least a modicum of fuel for city
utilities, but they admit it will be
only a pittance of the normal sup
ply. All around the city the beau
tiful forests are being cut down for
firewood, and fuel is the one de
mand.
The hotels answer the query of
every guest or prospect guest, “No,
we do not hope to have heat or hot
water, only fire for cooking.”
All through the months since the
peace conference began the Vien
nese, high and low. have said with
simple faith. “When the peace is
signed things will mend.” They
cannot explain exactly how or why.
but they have conjured themselves
with the idea that some sort of
miracle will occur. But the peace
has been signed and nevertheless
1 the crown goes down day by day
and prices go up. arid everything is
as bad as ever. Now they say, “The
reparations commission. Ah, yes,
the commission. They will fix things."
