The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, farming, 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. Hie 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 mid possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the

PHILADELPHIA. — A campaign
for the building of homes is Phila
delphia’s answer to the question of
how to keep rents down to a reason
able basis. The tenant population
is in desperate straits, for rents
have been higher and higher and no
end seems to be in sight. The
scramble for homes in the suburbs
is so acute that when one woman
moved some of the furniture out of
her home the other day, in order to
| clean the house, 25 persons tried
to rent it from her within a few
hours.
To stop the profiteering in rents
and homes, several organizations are
| attempting to unite on a program
of house building to continue for
at least six months, or until the
shortage has been relieved. These
organizations include associations of
tenants, trade unions, representa
tives of the building trades, and
mortgaging companies. They have
j been asked to undertake the work
'by the department of public wel
fare.
Meanwhile, camping ground acces
: sible by streetcars is in great de
mand Tent manufacturers say more
i orders have been placed for tents
ithis spring than ever before in Phil
adelphia’s history.
There is an unprecedented amount
of building of cheap cottages and
bungalows within a radius of thirty
miles of Philadelphia, to accommo
date the rush of tenants. Those
erected in one community cost about
$600 each and are eagerly rented
at $350 for the season,
i Old canal-boats lying along the
Schuylkill river are being fitted out
as dwellings and families are glad
to rent them as temporary homes.

Addressing the Alaskan Society of
Portland recently, Prof. Herschell
Parker outlined his famous trip to
the top of Mt. McKinley in 1912, at
which time the fake ascent and
photographs of Dr. Cook were ex
posed. Prof. Parker made the re
markable statement that Mt. McKin
ley is not the highest peak in Alas
ka.
Speaking to his interested audi
ence, Prof. Parker said hLs party in
1912 recorded an altitude of 19,500
feet when overtaken by a storm,
t ope the r with heavy wind. The par
ty then strupplcd upward for three
hours, presumably making an alti
tude of over 20,000 feet. However,
no instrument record was made of
this height. It averaged 10 degrees
below zero during the latter part of
the trip, and being short of nourish
ment, the party suffered some hard
ships. It was disclosed from a sci
entific standpoint that Mt. St. Elias
has been gaining in height during
the past century, while Mt. McKin
ley has shrunk by reason of earth
quake disturbances. He now firmly
believes Mt. McKinley to be less
than 20,000 feet in height, and Mt.
St. Elias to be over that height.
The Alaskan Society of Portland
meets monthly. Its meetings are
well attended, and there are many
former Northerners attending, who
thoroughly enjoy the gatherings.

NATIVE SUICIDE PACT LEADS
TO SHOOTING AT ST. MICK’S
Unalaklect advices report the
shooting of a male native resident
of that place, as the culmination of
a suicide pact between the victim
and a native woman affinity.
According to the story reaching
Nome, the native hero of the epi
sode is married to another woman,
but found out too late that the wife
of his choice was not the right wom
an. He thereupon applied to the
commissioner for a divorce. The
commissioner refused his plea for
escape from the distasteful matri
monial entanglement, whereupon the
dusky gentleman and his soul-mate
decided to leave this sad old world
behind and find a haven of love in
the Elysian Fields. They were pre
paring to charter Mr. Charon’s boat
to ferry them over the River of
Doubt, when the mother of the girl
heard of the arrangements and sent
a marshal after them. The sum
mary interference of the law was
seriously objected to by the would
be decedent gentleman, however,
(and, seizing his trusty rifle, he told
the deputy to vamose and let a
man die when he wants to—or Es
