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
trotit 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

WAECHTER GETS
i
:
Ralph I. Waechter, local repre
sentative of the Waechter Bros,
company, was elected a member of
the board of trustees at a meeting
of that body held last night. He
succeeds Trustee William J. Taylor,
who resigned from the board sev
eral weeks ago. Provision for the
election was made in the rules of
the board adopted at a previous
meeting to take care of just such
an emergency, and the town is
saved thereby considerable expense
; in the way of election costs.
Mr. Waechter was informed of
his election after the vote had been
-taken and he reported immediately
for duty. He was sworn in by the
j clerk and was an active participant
: in the remainder of the proceeding5.
] The chief business before the
| meeting was the passage of an or
j dinance to abate the dog nuisance
! mention of which is made else
where in this issue of The News.
| Other needed ordinances were dis
cussed, and it is probable that one
restricting the use of sidewalks tc
pedestrians will be presented.
A communication from the An
:chorage headquarters of the Alas
ikan Engineering commission, rela
jtive to the expense incident to th<
| election of town trustees, was read
ithe letter stating that the Commis
ision had no funds that could b,
j used in that manner. The townsitc
j management and the board hopec
I to be able to take care of the elec
> tion expenses through the Commis
[sion, but inasmuch as it does no
[appear to be possible to do so, sont
| other way will be found to raisi
' the money, perhaps through fine
; later on. The board is opposed ti
i using its authority at this time ti
; raise funds by means of a tax levy
| The cost of the election, which wa
I held several months ago. was ap
j proximately $50.
I The matter of water rates wa
j called to the attention of the boari
by Townsite Manager Schmidt, witl
| a request that they be adjusted si
| as to encourage greater consump
ition of water. Upon motion, tii
board voted to establish a rate o
j 50 cents a tap for private room
on premises where water is alread;
jin use. The old rate was $1.50 pe
tap.
Townsite Manager Schmidt alsi
.submitted his monthly financia
statement for the month of Oe
Ltober, showing the net operatin',
expenses of the town as $1,224.93
which includes an outlay of $512.2;
ifor fire hose and nozzles, orderei
1 during the summer.
| The board will meet again nex
Wednesday night.

SOFIA.—Bulgaria gives now no
outward sign of a country having
been at war. A large part of the;,
army has been demobilized, com- j
mercial activity has been resumed, ^
the crops are excellent, there is an .
abundance of food in the country. ^
the health of the population is good,'
and everybody is devoting himself
to the active pursuits of peace. ]
The war has become only a mem-;
ory in the minds of the thrifty and ’
philosophical Bulgarian peasants,1
: c
who are so absorbed in their agri
cultural and household pursuits that ,
they have little time to think of the ^
past.
Bulgaria suffered r.o' property ^
damage by hostile invasion or bom- j
bardment, and lost comparatively
few lives by wounds or disease. It ^
may be many years, however, before
Bulgaria regains her former finan
cial position. Her present war lia
bilities total more than half her
national wealth.
The Italians, whose friendship the '
Bulgarians have been assiduously
cultivating, have sent large quanti- j
ties of food into the country. The
French have likewise sent a consid- |
erable amount. The British have
an economic mission here, but little
merchandise has come into Bulgaria
‘from England.
The Bulgarian government and .
! people are extremely anxious that ■
the United States should establish !
active trade relations with them.
' There is great need of farm im
plements, machinery, fabrics, and
' manufactured articles of all kinds
’ The United ^States has appointed a
: consul to Bulgaria, but he has not
’ yet arrived in Sofia. The Bulgari
1 ans are hopeful he may be able to
• bring the two countries into closer i
> commercial relationship. There is
• an immense accumulation of tobac- I
co and attar of roses which the gov
! eminent is anxious to dispose of.
1 There has been so little demand for
1 attar of roses, due to the war. that
1 a number of peasants have turned
■ their rose gardens into vegetable
• farms. .
The stores of Sofia gradually are
1 filling up. Goods are filtering
through from Italy. France, and
Greece. The low rate of exchange,
however, has placed heavy burdens
1 on the local merchants. The Bul
■ garian franc, which at par is worth
20 cents, is now equivalent to only
4 cents. The American dollar and
• the Greek drachma (franc) are the
only moneys that sell at their face
value.
