The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, fanning, 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.
II
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.

SENDS APPEAL TO
GENEVA. Switzerland. — An' ap
peal of the women of Armenia to
jthe women of America to help them
and protect them from the Turks
i has been forwarded from this city
j by an Armenian girl, Nelly de
jWarhramoff, for distribution in the
i United States. In a note accom
^panying it, the girl says that her
| appeal has the approval of Antony
1 Krafft Bonnard, of Geneva, secre
tary-general of the Federation
! Swiss Committees of Friends of Ar
jmenians. The plea reads:
“To you, our sisters, women if
the United States, we cry out in our
anguish.
“From our mountains, our plains,
from the desert, as well as from
your own hospitable country, we,
women of Armenia, all raise our
voices. Listen to our appeal. Who
better than we could speak? Our
men are dead. Yours also have
j fallen, but as soldiers on the field
of honor. Ours have been cowardly
pursued and murdered. The chil
dren that we pressed on our breasts
ihave been torn away from us by
j thousands; our young girls are !a
■menting in harems.
“Have pity on us. Who else
could protect us? Shall we be
left in our despair? No. that is
not possible. If our hearts are
bleeding, yours will bend over our
wounds.
“Hold out your hands to us. We
only ask for the right to live and
to live; but to obtain that, Turkish
! domination must be done away with.
■Tell your Government so. We must
[obtain a complete and final release,
i “Beware of Turkish intrigues!
i “Do not believe those who slan
!
ider us!
| “Our people's only crime is to bs
;Armenians; that is. Christians.
“Our wish is to rebuild our coun
; try and our homes with the sur
jvivors who have been spared us.
i “Do help us, women of the Unit
led States!
"Help us, we women of Armenia,
who are weeping but still hoping,
for we trust in God’s love."

Nenana, Nov. 24, 1919.
Editor News—Sir:
! There is so much speculation and
| uncertainty concerning the origin of
'the recent fire at Camp 415 that I
deem it my duty to offer such ex
planation as the facts in my pos
session will warrant.
The pumpirig plant was placed in
the blacksmith shop, a mere shell 40
feet long and 20 feet wide, and
afforded about the same amount of
protection during cold weather as a
tent of that size would. I repeat
edly suggested that a stove be put
in, or some other protective mea
sure taken to prevent the pump and
exposed pipes from freezing. Noth
ing was done, however, and on the
first cold day the predicted event
happened.
When I came to work Saturday
evening, the day man had drained
the pump and closed all valves of
the pipe lines leading to it; this ne
cessitated the using of an auxiliary
pipe line to get water for boiler
purposes, and this line we found
to be frozen. The day man then
left and I used a gasoline torch to
thaw the pipe. I then filled the
boiler with water and remained
about twenty minutes while doing
so. During this time there was no
indication of fire. I then left for
the roundhouse, a hundred yards
away, to look after some duties I
had there to perform.
I remained away about twenty
five minutes, and returned to the
pump station. When I opened the
door the flames struck me in the
face. The fire was so far ad
vanced that nothing could be done.
I could have said that I was in the
roundhouse and knew nothing of
how the fire started, but then we
would have had another mystery and
suspicion cast on some innocent per
son. So I have given the facts and
you may now draw your own con
clusions as to how the fire started.
The above is the statement that
I gave Mr. Browne, to which 1
added that the management was
primarily responsible. Because of
its gross negligence in not having
a sufficiently warm pumphou=e, the
thawing act was made necessary.
I was an accessory- only, but so far
I am the only only that has been
fired. This is in direct contraven
tion of law; an accessory should
never be tried or punished until the
principal has been disposed of.
