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, 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 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 die 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

The house committee on the ter
ritories probably will begin its study
of the Alaskan situation within the
next month, according to advices
received at Seattle from Washing
ton by J. L. McPherson, manager
of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce.
| The basis for this study will be
the Alaska development board mea
sure, which has been introduced in
the senate by Senator Harry S. New,
and in the house by Representative
Charles F. Curry of California. Mr.
Curry lived in Seattle in 187G and
is familiar with the Government's
past policy in Alaska. The measure
is the same one advocated by Frank
lin K. Lane, former secretary of
the interior, since 1914.
Mr. McPherson, says the Seattle
Alaska Dispatch, who spent the
greater part of last year at the
capital, directing the presentation
of Alaska matters before Congress,
will return to Washington at the
request of Chairman Curry to aid
the committee in assembling data
for its study of the development
board measure.
That the needs of Alaska are bet
!
ter understood now than in years
past, due to the aggressive and per
sistent efforts of Washington’s con
gressional delegation and other
friends of the Territory, is evi
denced in many ways, says Mr. Mc
Pherson.
It was through the championship
of Senator New and Representative
Curry, chairmen of the senate and
house committees on the territories,
that the authorization for the addi
tional $17,000,000 with which to
complete the Alaska Government
railroad was carried through the
house and senate in record time,
being enacted and 3n appropriation
of six million dollars made in less
than three months after the date of
its introduction.
“Contrast this with the situation
in 1919,” said Mr. McPherson.
From March to July of that year,
the Alaskan Engineering commission
was without funds with which to
pay its workers. Durinjr this time
the men drew their supplies from
the commissary, and only such funds
as were absolutely necessary were
paid to them. All materials and
supplies were purchased on credit.
It was a situation never before
known in railroading.

islation by the appropriation com- '
mittee. Senator Wesley L. Jones'
immediately introduced an amend
ment to a deficiency appropriation
bill, then before the senate commit
tee on appropriations, of which Sen
ator Jones is one of the three rank
ing: members. As a result of his
active work, an immediate appro
priation of $6,000,000 was secured, ^
and for the first time in its history
the Alaskan railroad had sufficient
funds on hand at the beginning of
the year to properly prepare for the
following season’s work. If like pro- j
vision had been made from the be
ginning of the work, a large saving;
in the cost of the project would
have been made.
“On March 8 of this year, the
house appropriation committee re
viewed the financial needs of the
commission for the fiscal year be
ginning July 1, 1920. Request was ;
made for $8,000,000 for the rail
road. Action has not been report-;
ed by the committee, but the atti-!
tude of all members is such that we i
are assured that all necessary funds
for the early completion of the road
will be forthcoming as rapidly as re
quired.”
As a result of Mr. McPherson’s
work, it is expected that legislation
providing for the development of
traffic for the Government railroad
will be enacted by this Congress.
The hearings of the committee on
the development board measure will
be exhaustive and complete.
Chairman Curry, in a talk with
Mr. McPherson the day before he
left Washington, said: “We are go
ing to see if we cannot provide so
that Alaska will become the home
of an ever increasing stable and
prosperous citizenry. I am convinced
that all that is needed is a con
structive policy, properly adminis
tered. in Alaska. The efforts of
the individual must and will be en
couraged and every safeguard will
be taken to guard against monopoly
and exploitation. We are approach
ing this study from the standpoint
of fact and we want and need the
aid of every friends of Alaska to
airive at a just conclusion.”
Mr. McFherson praised the Wash
ington delegate at the capital for
work on behalf of constructive Alas
kin measures. .
“The State of Washington is
strongly represented on both the
senate and house committees on the
territories. Senator Wesley L. .Jones
being the third ranking member on
the senate committee and Repre
sentative Albert Johns-, n ranking
next to the chairman on the house
committee.” he said.
“The strong committee assign
ments of Senator Miles Poindexter
on the navy and other senate com
mittees; Congressman I.. FI. Hadley
on the ways and means committee;
Congressman John F. Miller on the
miliary affairs committee; Congress
man J. Sanley Webster on the in
