The Xenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, farming, and
trapping that are unequaled in any
ether 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 Xenana 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 Xenana
and adjacent districts are noted for the
line quality of their fur, and trappers
annually bring large numbers of pelts
to Xenana and receive for them higher
prices than are obtained for the average
furs of other districts.
Game of all kinds abounds in the
Xenana 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 Xenana may be
viewed the largest coal ledges in the
world.

resources and possibilities of the Xe
nana district may be obtained from the

HOTEL OPENING
ATTRACTS MANY
TO THE COONEY
The formal opening of the Coon
ey Hotel Annex and the public re
ception arranged by the manage
ment of the popular hostelry in
honor of the Fairbanks visitors,
which took place yesterday after
noon, commencing at two o’clock
and continuing until the departure
of the excursion train, proved a
very enjoyable part of the New
Year's celebration. The big hotel
lobby, extending across the front
of the main hotel building and the
annex, was crowded throughout the
afternoon, and presented a pretty
scene, the costumes of the many
beautifully gowned women harmon
izing well with the soft lights and
the lobby decorations.
There was dancing throughout
the afternoon and light refresh
ments were passed around frequent
ly
Mrs. M. J. Cooney was assisted
in receiving by Mesdames Fred’k D.
Browne, Malcolm E. Smith, R. R.
Myers, R G. Southworth, J. R.
Bowen, W. H. Gilcher, Printz, and
Misses Adeline Ferretti, Ruth Moir.
and Eunice Thrift.
The afternoon affair proved so
thoroughly enjoyable that the danc
ers insisted on taking possession of
the lobby after the show, and from
that time until three o'clock this
morning the fun continued fast and
furious. It proved a fitting climax
to Xenana’s most successful New
Year’s celebration.
During the afternoon, Mr. and
Mrs. Cooney were kept busy show
ing the visitors through the new
establishment, which is a very cred
itable addition to Xenana’s very
creditable hotels. The rooms in the
annex are large, elaborately fur
nished, modernly equipped with hot
and cold running water, and with
baths and lavatories easily accessi
ble from any pa-t of the hotel. The
new lobby and restroom is also very
comfortably furnished and has the
distinction of being one of the
largest, if not the largest in the
Territory, having a frontage of 50
feet. Wall paper, lighting effects
and furnishings harmonize through
out the house.

I WAGES 100 LOW
- i
LONDON.—England still is suffer
ing from low wages, declared Lord
■ . !
Leverhulme, one of England’s best
known manufacturers, on the eve (
of his departure for the United
States. Lord Leverhulme has set
i :
an example to British industry by;
application to his own business of,
advanced ideas in the relations of |
i i
capital and labor.
! I
“Our wage earners have inherited
i
ideas which low wages inflicted upon
them and our manufacturers have ■
not been driven by big wages to j
develop labor-saving machinery." he
said. “The era of low wages has
passed. If our manufacturers im-'
prove their machinery and our wage
earners throw aside suspicion as a
policy ruinous to their own inter
ests, we shall have a tremendous
home market in England and a big
ger surplus than any other nation
to send abroad to pay for our raw
materials.”
i
, Not only did Lord Leverhulme
see no prospect that wages would ,
fall in England, but he declare.!
that he did not wish to see them
,drop, but would like to see them go 1
higher, provided always that pro
duction kept pace with the advance
in wages.
i Asked by a representative of the
Daily Chronicle what he would do
to raise money if he were chancellor
of the exchequer, Lord Leverhulme
replied:
“I should institute a tax on trad
ing profits, starting at profits of
£2,000 so as not to hurt the little
business. It wouldn't be a gradu
ated tax; that spoils the whole
thing. It would be a tax of five
percent on all trading profits above
£2,000. Now see what that tax
would do. It would stimulate in
dustry. A levy on capita! cripple-,
industry; but a tax on profits bucks
industry up; makes it think harder
and work harder.
“Such a tax as I suggest, which
would fall on the ordinary share
holder, who would still have to pay
his income tax, and, if liable, his 1
super-tax,, would have a quicken
ing effect in the whole region of
industry. Income tax is hard on 1
:the person with a small fixed in
iCome; but it is a stimulus to a man
in business, who can easily increase
his profits by thinking more clearly,
working much harder, and acting
with more faith and courage. So,
in precisely the like manner, a 1
profits tax would act on British in- 1
dustry." 1
