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. 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

' RUSSIAN THIS
OF IE UNDER
I BOLSHEVIK RULE
OMSK. Siberia.—Communists and
their sympathizers constitute the
privileged class of Bolshevik Rus
_ sia, says M. F. Toonin, formerly a
m small landowner in the Samara dis
„ trict- Mr. Toonin has lived there
under Bolshevik rule since Decem
ber, 1918. but lately arrived at
Omsk. He gives an illuminating
description of life under the Bol
shevik regime.
- The civil government of the Sa
• mara section is in the hands of an
executive committee, he said. This
committee controls supplies, lodg
ings, fuel, and military affairs. The
control of production and manufac
turing industries is subject to a
Council of National Economy, which
is subordinate to the executive com
.
mittee.
The population is divided into
four categories. The first of these
is comprised of Communists and
their sympathizers. The second
category is composed of employes
of soviet instituions, the third of
I
ordinarv citizens, and the fourth
category of officers, their families
and the bourgeoisie, the formerly
middle class.
Only Communists and their sym
pathizers enjoy the right of election
to the Council of National Econo
my. To them are assigned the best
homes and lodgings. Their property,
is not subject to requisition. Unde:
the rationing system they are al
lowed one pound of meat a day
while none of the others receivt
more than one pound a week. Theii
full requirement of fuel is allottee
to them, while that of the othei
classes is cut one-half or less.
The Communists are allowed 3(
pounds of baked bread or flour i
month, while the allotments to tht
other classes range down from 2-=
pounds to nothing. Textiles am
footwear are permitted to Commun
ists and soviet employes only.
People of the fourth category—■
officers, their families, and the bour
geisie—have little or no rights. Nc
fuel or food is nationed to them
Ordinary citizens, composing th<
third category, receive one-half thf
rations allotted to the Communists
All houses have been appraised,

ings are distributed to the inhab
itants and no distinction is made
between house-owners and lodgers.
All pay alike the established rate
for lodgings.
The houses of commissioners and
their friends are virtually exempt
from appraisal. The belongings of
all people, even their clothing and
1 effects, are listed. Each person is
j allowed to have a chair, some plates,
| a spoon, fork, etc., and two changes
of linen. The rest is taken awav
i
| and put in warehouses. There are
.no articles of household utility nor
.clothing on the market and none is
produced. The soviet controls the
distribution of necessaries from the
warehouses.
Revolts against requisitioning of
their products are frequent among
the peasants, but they are cut down
with the utmost cruelty. Toonir,
says that in Stavropol such a revolt
'resulted in the massacre of 6.000
persons—men, women, and children.
Factories are shut down for lack
of fuel and raw materials, and
| workmen who faced starvation were
[driven to serve in the Red army.

1 WILL STAGE GAME
An exhibition game of basket
'bal! will be played at Union hall
on Friday night for the entertain
>ment of local fans who have been
clamoring for a match that the
'public might witness. The basketball
boys will also endeavor to make the
game sufficiently remunerative to
cover the cost of hall rent. and. if
the attendance warrants, it is prob
able that a series of game? will be
played during the winter.
The boys have been practicing
diligently for some time past and
now have two teams capable of giv
ing a splendid exhibition. The play
was started more for the exercise
than anything else, but considerable
rivalry ha? developed, and the play
jers are now keen for a chance to
try conclusions in a public contest.
The game will start at 8:30 and
'the admission fee will be 50 cents.
