BOIL THE WATER.
While every precaution is being
taken to guard the Commission well
against contamination during the
approaching high water period, as
■public health officer I advise the
^ boiling of all water to be used for
drinking and kitchen purposes wher
ever obtained I also advise against
the use of water taken from either
river for above purposes, at any
time, without boiling.

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 dope.
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.
t.
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.
Detailed information regarding the
resources and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the

LONDON.—A Russian wife is re
quired to support her husband if
she be able to do so and he is un
able to work and in need of her
support, under the marriage laws of
Soviet Russia. A copy of this code,
translated into English, has just
reached London from the Russian
People’s Commissariat of Justice.
It provides that married persons
shall be expected to support each
other. Should one refuse and the
ether be what is classed as a “need
ful,” unfit to work, the latter has
'the right to apply to the depart
ment of social security to compel
■ the husband or wife, as the case
: may be, to pay support.
; Mutual consent of husband and
| wife, or merely the desire of one
of them to be freed from the other,
may be considered as grounds for
divorce. Local judges are author
ized to hear divorce cases, but their
decisions are subject to appeal,
i • The matrimonial age is fixed at
| 18 for men and 16 for girls. Both
must be of sound mind and mutually
i
jdesirious of marriage. Differences
' of religion or vows of celibacy are
no impediment. Married persons
may choose to bear the surname of
the bride or of the bridegroom, or
; their joint names. Marriages con
tracted in accordance with religious
forms are not binding unless the
union is registered under the pre
scribed form of civil or Sovietist
marriages. Old forms of marriage
law, or, as it is termed, “the legal
ized forging together of men and
women,” are abolished.
Under the laws of succession in
the Soviet code, none but the “need
ful” and the state may inherit prop
erty. The estates of emigrants and
; of rebels are subject to confiscation
i by the state.

Engineer in Charge and Mrs. F.
D. Browne were outgoing passen
gers on this afternoon’s train for
the end of steel. They probably
will be absent from town for some
time, as it is tihe intention of Mr.
Browne to stay close to the work
now in progress beyond the end of
steel. Mrs. Browne had a slight at
tack of the flu, but is practically
well now.
Postmaster R. S. McDonald is
sticking very close to his quarters
these days. He says he doesn’t
mind the flu so much, but he doesn’t
want to be laid up when the ice
goes out.
Lou Isabel was so sick this morn
ing he didn’t know the difference
between a fever and a hot Scotch.
That’s why he did not go to the
hospital when Joe Mills told him he
had the flu.

and the members of his party w’ere
outgoing passengers on today’s train,
enroute to their headquarters out
the line.
Roadmaster VV. L. Packer went
out the line this afternoon on offi
citl business.
The drafting room in the main
office building has been turned into
a dormitory for the accommodation
of some of the commission force
who were compelled to give up their
rooms in the dormitories.
Resident Engineer J. J. Kestly is
one of seven or more flu patients
due in Nenana this evening from
out the line.
The body of Herman Nelson, who
was killed several days ago out the
line by an unexpected blast, was
laid at rest this week quietly, only
a few friends being apprised of the
burial, on account of the epidemic.
Considerable snow fell at Fair
banks last night and there was some
rain today. Temperatures along the
trail south of Fairbanks average!
about 55 above.
Bob Sheldon was at Donnellys
yesterday and reports that he ex
pects to get through with his tractor
without further difficulty.

ADVERTISES FOR MEN
The Kennecott copper mine in I
Alaska is advertising for miners and '
mine helpers, says a recent issue !
of the Seattle Alaska Dispatch. Min
ers are paid $6.25 per day and
helpers $5.75 per day. Fare will
be advanced from Seattle to Cor- !
dova, and the amount thus expended ■
will not be deducted from the wages!
if the miner or helper will stay on j
the job for a period of four months.!
From Cordova, the Copper River ■&
Northwestern Railway companv
trains run direct to the Kennecott
mine, hence the trip is easy.
The Kennecott mine is a very de- 1
sirable place to work. The living
accommodations are good, the food
supplied is ample and wholesome,;
and wages are paid promptly, with .
no chance of loss. .Miners in search ;
of employment would do well to
take advantage of this opportunity, i
The increase in the working force
at the Kennecott mine means that
the big copper mine will increase its
production this season.
John T. Reed, formerly deputy
clerk of the United States court
at Juneau, has arrived at Hyder and
entered upon his duties as United
States commissioner and recorder
for the Hyder district.
