The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, farming, and
trapping that are unequaled in any
other section of Alaska.
| . jl
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
f
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

NENANA RECEIVES
JAX FORM BLANKS
Yesterday's mail brought income\
tax blanks to those residents of the
district who contributed to the Gov
ernment a year ago, accompanied
by a reminder that the returns must
be made to the internal revenue
collector at Tacoma not later than
March 15, which means that the
forms must be made out promptly
and the money forwarded without
delay. Failure to make return
promptly subjects the delinquent to
a penalty.
The Government is charging a tax
this year of four percent on in
comes exceeding $1,000, in the case
;of unmarried men, and $2,000 in
the case of married men, with an
; additional exemption of $200 for
' each child.
i
Before the war the tax was two
percent, and last year it was boost
! ed to six percent.

chinery and other equipment of the
Fairbanks Citizen, which was par
tially destroyed by fire last week,
was started this morning, two men
having been employed to clear away
the debris. It is possible that a
tent will be erected on the site of
the destroyed building or the sal
vaged machinery removed to a ware
house where it can be thawed out
and the extent of the damage ascer
tained.
J. Harmon Caskey, owner of the
plant, has opened a temporary of
fice in the Fowle store, where he is
getting his business affairs straight
ened out. He is of the opinion now
that it will be necessary to ship
most of the machinery Outside for
repair and rebuilding, in which
event he probably will accompany
it and remain in the States per
manently. He estimates that he
can realize about $10,000 from the
wreck in that way.

DAYLIGHT SAVING IS
NOT HELP IN MONTANA
—
HELENA, Mont.—Reports to the i
Montana industrial commission do j
not show that the daylight saving
system affected accidents in this i
state in the least, the commisison
states in answer to a query from
Eastern insurance interests. Be-.
cause of the tremendous scope of I
mining in this state, almost as much
work is done by night as by day, I
and hence Montana statistics are
perhaps not a fair criterion, it de-j
dared.
You will miss some rare fun and
many a hearty laugh if you fail to
see W. A. Cochill as Lieut. Cad
wallader, “an American aristocrat,”
