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 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

BUENOS AIRES. — The political
ampaign for the election of new l
lembers of the Argentine chamber f
f deputies this month has begun I
nth acts of violence. ' i
The “opening gun" of the cam- e
aign, advertised to be fired by the
lemocrata Pregresista party at at
lass meeting held at the San Mar- c
in theater, turned out to be a real t
iomb exploded in the midst of the t
aeeting by political opponents of
he party. No one was seriously i
njured, although there was a panic, j
Later, when those who attended i
he meeting were marching down i
he street, they were attacked from
i cafe by a group of political op- j
>onents, who threw flower pots,
dates, glasses, chairs and tables at
hem, provoking some retaliation in
cind.
On the following night the same
heater was packed by members of
he Radical party, the one now in ,
power. Street manifestations fol-'
lowed and some of the manifestants
stoned the office of a newspaper
opposed to the administration.

KETCHIKAN 10 HAVE
EHCAl AIK SERVICE
The newest thin;; in the Terri
tory in the way of modern trans
portation is the Ketchikan Air Trans
portation company, an organization
which has just been formed by resi
dents of the progressive “first city"
for the purpose of improving trans
portation conditions in Southern Al
aska.
The company will purchase a
Boeing plane, which will be operated
between Ketchikan and points in
that locality now dependent upon
infrequent boats for mail and pass
enger service.
The venture, it is believed, will
attract considerable business to
Ketchikap which now is scattered
among the several supply centers in
that part of Alaska.

I
OF TERRITORY 10
ASK FOR SURVEYS
Alaska’s resources will cease to
e buried under a mass of misin
ormation, if a plan which Charles
I. Flory of the forest service has
i view is carried out by the Gov
rnment
Mr. Flory has been making a
horough investigation of affairs in
onnection with the development of
he forests of the Territory during
he past six months.
“I purpose to ask the Govern-!
nent to make a thorough survey of
he pulp and water power resources
if the Territory,” said Mr. Flory
•ecently to a representative of the
Cetchikan Alaska Chronicle.
‘‘People are often heard to re
nark that a certain locality has
mlimited water power for develop
ment purposes, when as a matter
>f fact there may be lots of water
in the summer months, but almost
none in the winter.
‘‘Again people often ask why a
certain stand of timber is not being
developed. They fail to take into
consideration that that particular
stand is distant from a source of
power and that transportation diffi
culties are in the way of moving
timber.
“The Government has more infor
mation on water power resources in
Alaska than many people realize.
The geological survey has been mea
suring the flow in streams for a
number of years and bulletins have
been issued at Washington contain
ing the information.
“My proposal is to have the facts
regarding the water power and tim
ber resources co-ordinated so that
when an investor is approached to
take over and develop a given area
it will be possible to tell him at a
glance just what timber and power
is available there ”
Mr. Flory said that a bill is be
fore Congress at the present time
for the appropriation of a million
dollai-s for a pulp wood survey of
the United States. He said that if
the bid passes he will make an
effort to secure some of the money
for work in the Territory.
A special act of Congress will be
required before Mr. Flory's proposal
can be carried out as he would like
it. It would take several seasons to
make a survey of the available tim
ber and to co-ordinate the informa
tion already in the; hands of the
geological survey.
