The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, farming, and
trapping that are tin equaled 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
Tiewed the largest coal ledges in the
world.
Detailed information regarding the
resources and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the

PAPEETE, Tahiti.—'The Marque-!
sas, fiercest cannibals among the
Polynesians in the South Pacific, are
disappearing. A few years ago
they numbered more than 50,000.
The last census showed only 3,000
m . I
survivors.
Opium, introduced by white men
into the Marquests islands, the
most northerly French settlement in
Oceania, is held responsible by many
for the approaching extinction of
‘ this race. This drug is no longer
sold in the islands, but it is said
its effect is shown in a death rate
, of 25 percent a year.
] Physically the Marquesas were
'magnificent. Before tattooing was
: forbidden, the bodies of the natives
Were adorned by the most intricate
and beautiful designs, and some of
these may yet be see.n Although
j they had a number of admirable
' qualities, the Marquesas in the old
en days constantly engaged in tribal
wars with the consequent feasts of
human flesh.
| So much has been heard in song
land story of the “Cannibal Islands”
of the “South Sea," that many per
' sons believe these comprise the
myriad islands dotting the Pacific
south of the equator. In some of
,the islands, scientific research work
ers found, man-eating was practiced,
,but in many, notably in Tahiti and
other islands of the Society group,
cannibalism was unknown.

HOME FOR BLIND
IN BAY CITY HAS
RECOMGWNH
SAN' FRANCISCO. — From two
rooms in a small frame building to
25,000 square feet of floor space
in a three-story brick structure in
dicates the expansion of the indus
trial work of the San Francisco
Association for the Blind from No
vember 1, 1918, to November 1,
1919.
The association provides adult
blind with gainful occupations, car
ries them in motor trucks to and
from the building, and also does ^
educational work.
Under the direction of experts,
the blind workers make reed and
rattan furniture from designs im
ported from abroad. They produce
also rugs, brooms and baskets, ail
in quantities which have made the
enterprise, according to William
Mitchell Bunker, chairman of the
advisory board, “a unique economic
welfare success.” The products are
shipped to all parts of the country.
Mr. Bunker says the blind, work
ing by touch, do their work more
thoroughly than the sight worker.
The association does not house
the blind, but it gives them the
means of making themselves inde
pendent. One hundred persons are
supported by the earnings of the
blind workers of the association.
The association has many mem
bers in San Francisco. Their an
nual dues keep the enterprise going.
They make no profit, as the asso
ciation is legally a benefit organ
t.
ization.

About twenty passengers came
down from Fairbanks on yesterday's
train.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom McCroskey,
who recently came to Nenana from j
Goldstream, where Mr. McCroskey i
,had charge of one of the Commit!
sion stores, have taken the Allred i
house, on B street, and will reside ‘
there probably until the new store
at the end of steel is ready tor oc-:
cupancy.
Clarence Boatman, manager of
George Morrison’s fox farm at Hot
Springs, recently shipped 35 silver
fox skins to an Outside fur house.
Arrivals from Fairbanks say that
the impression prevails in the upper
town that the new camp at the end
of steel is to be a permanent estah- j
lishment, superseding Nenana, to a
large extent, as a base of railroad •
operations. ;
