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 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 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. Hie 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

.sfwiJo!
From the Associated Press re
ports I notice that Gov. Thomas'
Riggs, Jr., who first came to Alaska !
at the Government expense, and,;
during the entire period of his resi- i
dence in the Territory has been !
drawing a salary from the treasury ]
of the United States, seems to be j
very much alarmed and is circulat-'
ing a propaganda to be published
in the Outside press, and filed in
the Government records at Washing- \
ton, that Alaska is menaced by the
Bolsheviki and that an uprising is
planned for May 1.
I have been a resident of Alaska
for 23 years and have lived in vari
ous parts of the Territory, and 1
wish to place on record the fact
that nowhere in the world or can
any state boast of as high a class of
citizenship in all walks of life, from
the lonely prospector, the fisherman,
or the business man that makes
his livelihood in the towns of our
Territory. News of such character
tends to discredit Alaska, and
places us before the worfd as not
law abiding. It tends to divert, '•
those who are looking toward Alaska
for future homes, and intimidates
capital that seeks investment in fish
eries, mines, and the oil regions. I,
for one, give Delegate Grigsby due
credit for his refusal to introduce
a bill in Congress establishing a .
constabulary for Alaska. It is un- ■
necessary and un-American. A ter
ritory with a population of less than
50,000 and now occupied by a regi
ment of soldiers, never asked for
by the people. The U. S. marshal
organization, and now a new branch
of police service would cause a '
stranger landing in our midst from
a flying machine to wonder if he *
had not made a mistake and landed 1
in a German village along the Rhine. ‘
If the timg comes and there is a 1
crisis, which does not now exist, the *
Pioneers of Alaska, the" American t
Legion, with the aid of citizeifs gen- 1
erally, can make it very uncomforta
ble for any Bolsheviki that starts
trouble in Alaska. 1
