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

EN6USH COLLEGES
IN NEED OF FUNDS
LONDON. — Oxford and Cam
bridge universities have applied for
financial assistance from the state.
The government has responded by
appointing a commission to inquire
into the matter. The chairman of
the commission is the former pre
mier. Herbert H. Asquith.
There is no doubt in the public
mind that both the famous universi
ties are hard up, but so also is the
state, and the present is not con
sidered the most suitable time for
obtaining any considerable grant
from it.
Meanwhile many of the under
graduates are finding it difficult to
make both ends meet, owing to the
inflated cost of living. Efforts are
being made, by invoking the profit
eering act, to enable them to pro
cure necessities at less cost.
Before the war. it was possible
for an unusually gifted youth to
win scholarships which almost if not
quite maintained him. Now, when
the minimum sum on which he can
support himself while at either of
the universities amounts to from
$1,300 to $1,500 a year, he cannot
live on scholarships. The very nar
row bridge by which the poor man
might pass into the old universities
has broken down. It is alleged that
an education at Oxford or Cam
bridge has become again the exclu
sive privilege of the well-to-do.

OMSK.—The All-Russian govern
ment has not yet been able to settle
the all-important que'stion of the
distribution of farming land of Si
beria. An effort has been made
temporarily to provide the peasants
with land, or at least to enable them
to cultivate it until the proposed
national constituent assembly can
finally dispose of this vexed and
complex problem. The steps thus
far taken by the All-Russian gov
ernment in this direction have been
intended only to meet the exigencies
of the present situation.
The farmers or peasants in 1917
took possession of land belonging
to the state, to the church or clergy.
The government has now given them
assurance that their rights to their
crops, from land thus illegally ap
propriated, will be recognized pend
ing final decision as to who really
owns the land.
The All-Russian government has
announced also that its soldiers will
have the right during a ten-year
period to locate on public domain
hitherto reserved to immigrants.
The government proposes also to
distribute among peasants private
properties and land owned by the
government. The purpose of these
steps is to encourage the peasants
to continue to cultivate even the
illegally acquired land. To protect ,
the interests of soldiers drawn from
the peasantry, their families will be
permitted to settle on public land
' without waiting for the soldier to
return to his family.

MURDER SUSPECT IS I
POPULAR IN FRANCE
PARIS.—Nearly 5.000 voters in
and near Paris cast their ballots in
the recent election for Henri Lan
dru. for member of the chamber of
deputies. Landru has long been held
by the police and accused of being: <
responsible for the disappearance of
13 women to whom he is alleged to
have promised marriage.
His witticisms have made him
very popular with the Parisian pub
lic, and this accounts for the fact
that 5,000 persons erased the name
of candidates registered at the min
istry of the interior and wrote Lan
dru's name on the ballot.
Landru was called before Judge
Bonin on election day for examina
tion as to the whereabouts of the
Widow Collomb. who was registered
on the ballot list as his fiancee
number 7.
Landru paid little attention to the
judge's questions, glancing pensive
ly out of the window at the heavy
snowfall. When the judge remon
strated with him, he said:
“I am greatly concerned about
the outcome of the election.. These
proceedings here do not interest me.
but I fear for the future of my
country. What a calamity should |
Bolshevism rule in this land 1"
