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
tine 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
w’orld.

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

AMERICANS MAKE
VALPARAISO. — Imports from
the United States to Chile have in
creased enormously in the last four
years, as shown by figures made
public here. In Chilean currency
they were valued in 1915 at 51,
004,260 pesos, and in 1918 at 203,
451,891 pesos (nominally a Chilean
peso equals about 36 Vi United
States cents).
The increase in imports in the
United States continued in 1919 and
they are expected to exceed those
o\ 1918.
This growth in business between
the two countries is attributed to
improvement in banking facilities,
better information concerning buy
ers and credit, and the possibility
of direct negotiation of drafts in
stead of by way of Europe.
One leading Chilean merchant
states that in the past five years
North American business men have
adjusted their methods of doing
business so as to comply with the
requirements of Chilean buyers. At
present, he said, there were no diffi
culties worth mentioning in the way
of this trade, which was developing
in a manner satisfactory to both
buyer and seller.
Buyers, he said, find the prod
ucts sent to them are in fulfillment
of their orders and sellers are sat
isfied with the dependability of
Chilean merchants.
No, It Wain't Twins.
He (at the phone): Hello, is that
you, Maisie? Yes, this is Jack.
Have I heard the news? No; what?
Mrs. Murphy? Well, well! Five
o’clock this morning? Oh, tell her
I’m glad to hear she’s doing well.
What’s that? Two of ’em? Well
(hanging up receiver), what do you
think of that? Mrs. Murphy smash
ed two of her fingers in the door
this morning and fainted dead away.

1 NEW YORK.—Matrimonial agen
cies operating in Chicago, Denver,
Kansas City, and San Francisco are
finding many clients at present in
the East, according to detectives
who recently saved a young white
woman, 20 years old, from North
Carolina, who came to New York
expecting to meet “a Cuban gentle
man of moderate means.”
The advertiser said he was “edu
cated and home-loving.” He proved
to be the negro janitor of a Bronx
apartment house. The girl, with a
letter from him in her handbag,
arrived at the Pennsylvania station
from her small home town. She
had never been in New York be
fore and a railroad porter turned
her over to a Travelers’ aid society
worker who agreed to accompany
her to the home of the man she
called her “cousin.” Disillusioned,
the young woman was given shelter
for the night, her family tele
graphed and funds received which
permitted her to return home, the
townfolk being none the wiser.
In the police investigation of the
janitor which followed the man dis- j
played letters from women who were
members of two correspondence
clubs, one in Oakland, Cal., and
the other in San Francisco.
! Lists found in his apartment de
scribed women varying in age from
!18 to 07, as follows:
! “Beautiful California maiden, 24,
67 inches, 133 pounds, brown hair,
blue eyes, Protestant, college educa
tion, musician, with $50,000; wish
es to marry a refined business gen
tleman.”
“Pretty American maiden, 18, re
sides in Indiana, 63 inches, 120
pounds, dark brown hair, blue eyes,
well educated, musician; member of
a wealthy family. She has no use
for society and wishes to marry a
home-loving companion."
“Widow, 07, sixty-two inches, 130
pounds, dark gray hair, blue eyes.
Baptist, comfortable income, can
play the piano some, with between
j$25,000 and $36,000. Very lonely;
resides in Illinois."
| The letters were confiscated, but
the janitor was not arrested, al
though his case is still under in
vestigation.
Try Thi* Plan.
“Miss Willing,” began the young
man as he wiped the perspiration
from his brow, "are you fond of
| stories?”
“If they are new, Mr. Wondby,"
replied their fair maid, “I simply
dote on them.”
“But the one I was going to tell
iyou, Miss Willing, is not new,” said
the young man. “It is, I might say.
Miss Willing—or, Clara—the old,
old story, but-—"
“Oh, never mind, George,” she
interrupted. “Even if it is a chest
nut, I’m sure I never heard of it.
Go on, please!”-- Pittsburg Chroni
cle-Telegraph.
