j The Nenana district offers oppor- §
| tunities for prospecting, farming, and
! trapping that are unequaled in any j j
i 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 an> 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.

FEtlS STRAIN OF
inmed costs
BUENOS AIRES.—Argentina has
been the scene of numerous strikes
in the past few months. In gen
eral these are attributed to the high
cost of living, particularly prohib
itive rents for poor families. One
economist declares that wages here
are 66 percent higher than in Eng
land, while the cost of living is 83
percent greater. •
Twelve thousand employes in va
rious trades, including shipyard
workers, have been on strike in
Buenos Aires. There have been
predictions of a general strike in
this city and the police have made
preparations to deal with violence.
It is reported jthat 25 motorcars
fitted for machine guns have been
ordered from the United States.
Some of the strikes have been at
tended by violence. Two workmen
who failed to join the strike of
shipyard workers were murdered.
General strikes have taken place
in Mendoza and Cordoba. In Men
doza, a city of 60,000 inhabitants
business was paralyzed for a wees
by a strike which grew out of the
discharge of several school teacher:
alleged to be anarchistic in then
teachings. It has been charged tha
the police transported some of th<
agitators into an arid and unin
habited section of the province am
left them there without food o
.shelter. This caused a fierce de
bate in congress, resulting in th
appointment of a concessional com
mittee to investigate the Mendoz;
situation. President Irigoyen wa
| criticized by Socialists and oppon
ents of the administration for re
fusal to remove officials alleged t
have Riven ground to the strike.
A general strike in Cordoba. ;
i
city of 135,000, was caused by ;
wage dispute between a tramwa
company and its employes. Ther
was some shooting and rioting. Th
garbage collectors went on strik
and the refuse littered the street:
making the city a fearsome place
The strike ended when the tramwa;
company made concessions.
John T. Reid, deputy cleric q
court m the First judicial divisui
ui Alaska, has been appointed Unit
ed States commissioner for the new
ly created recording district oi
’ Portland canal, with the town o
Hyder as headquarters. The appoint
ment was maJe by Judge .Jenning
some time ago, but was not mad
I
public until later. Judge Reid wa
in hopes that it would not be nece:
sary to assume his new duties unt:
'spring, but the department of jus
tice has requested that he go t
Hwier without delay, due to com
plaints of bootlegging, gambling an
like offenses.

COLOGNE.—Bank robbers have
been operating in parts of Germany
recently under the pretext that they
were collecting money for the Allies
for damages caused by the German
army during the war.
In one instance, according to sto
ries published in the German news
papers, a man in the uniform of a
Belgian captain and accompanied
by five guards and six Belgian sol
diers, entered the bank of Probst
& Co. in Aachen, saying he was
seeking stolen money. The man
showed papers purporting to have
been stamped by the Belgian min
ister of justice and insisted upon
making a search of the bank’s
vaults “to determine whether the
institution held any coin stolen in
Belgium in 1915.”
The man dismissed the entire
force of clerks and then directed
the owner, Probst, to open the
vaults. Afterward the man locked
Probst in his private office and
helped himself to about 370,000
marks and 75,000 Belgian francs.
Probst reported the affair to the
authorities. The robber was arrest
ed and the money recovered.
