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.

Farming in tlfe 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
trofct streams easy of access, and the
scenic wonders of the district are un
surpassed. The district is the natural
gateway to Mt. McKinley National
Paik. and close to Nenana may be
viewed the Jargest coal ledges in the
world.

resources and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the

WESTERN UNION
TO HAVE CABLE
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 26.—
President Carlton, of the Western
Union Telegraph company, has an

the company to lay a new cable
across the Pacific ocean to accom
modate the increased business which
has developed between the United
States and the Orient.
The proposed cable will extend
from San Francisco to Seattle, and
thence to the Aleutian islands and
to Japan. The plans have been -for
mally accepted and it is understood
that the work of laying the cable
will start at an early date.
The project is to be financed in
part by Japanese capital.
FEATURE PROGRAM
FOR THANKSGIVING
j A double-header bill of unusual
I excellence will be the attraction at
the Coliseum tomorrow night, one
' of the best programs of the winter
'having been selected as a Thanks
giving feature. The shown will
consist of a five-act Triangle drama
entitled “Wild Winship's Widow,"
I with clever Dorothv Dalton in the
•
title role, and one of those mirth
; provoking Mack Sennett comedies,
in two reels, entitled “A Bedroom
Blunder."
“Wild Winship’s Widow" gives
Dorothy Dalton ample opportunity
for the display of her wonderful
talent, and she has the support of a
strong Triangle cast. The story is
full of interest, with a number of
dramatic situations, and is different
from other stories.
It matters little what the comedy
is about. It is enough to know that
it is one of those Mack Sennett
masterpieces of mirth, with Charles
Murray, Wayland Trask, and Mary
Thurman in charge of the fun-mak
ing. The Sennett comedies are all
good, and “A Bedroom Blunder” is
said to be one of the best.
The price of admission wall be
•"0 cents, with a quarter extra for
reserved seats.
THANKSGIVING SERVICE.
In compliance with the proclama
tion of our President'and the cus
tom of our people, divine services
will be conducted in Grace Church
tomorrow morning at lOalO.
This service is for evervbodv.

MANY PLANNING TO'
STEP OUIIONIGHI
I There is every reason to believe
that Nenana’s Thanksgiving dance,!
to be held at Union hall tonight,!
will be a very largely attended af
fair, notwithstanding the fact that
the Fairbanks excursion attracted
some of the local dancers to the
upper town. Practically all of the
stay-at-homes will be out tonight,
according to the best information
obtinable, and there is reason to
believe the dance will be one of the !
most enjoyable held this winter.
The music is to be furnished by
the Coliseum orchestra—violin, pi
ano, and drums—which is a guar
antee that there will be “pep” io
the party. It will be the fault of
the dancers if they do not make the
most of it. The floor also will be
in the best possible condition for
dancing.
The dance will start about ten
o’clock and will continue until the
small hours of the morning. The
charge for admission, for men, will
be $1.50. The ladies, as usual, will ,
be admitted free.
