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
r 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 JNenana
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

KENTUCKY PUIS
MORE TEETH INTO
VOLSTEAD ACT
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Fanners in
Kentucky who have been accustom
ed to quenching1 their thirst with
hard cider may be classed as “moon
shiners” under the McLellan law
which goes into effect on July 1.
Under the state-wide dry amend
ment adopted by the people last
fall, any person having a beverage
containing more than one-half of
one percent alcohol, including cider
or home-made wine, on their prem
ises, may be haled, into court to
show whether he manufactured it
with or without a permit.
• Kentucky, in thus assuming “con
current jurisdiction" with the Gov
ernment of the United States in en
forcing prohibition, puts more teeth
into the Volstead enforcement act
and makes every peace officer in
the state responsible for keeping the
commonwealth “bone dry.”
Thirty-four other states and the
District of Columbia have state law
enforcement measures, as follows:
Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Dela
ware, Florida, Georgia. Idaho, Illi
nois, Indiana. Iowa. Kansas, Maine,
Michigan. Minnesota, Mississippi,
Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Neva
da, New Hampshire, New Mexico
North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
i Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina
South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas
i Virginia, Washington, West Vir
ginia, and Wyoming. Ohio has not
adopted a complete enforcement
code, three codes having been passed
by the legislature and held up b;,
the popular referendum.
Eleven states which so far have
not passed law enforcement code?
are: Massachusetts, Rhode Island
Connecticut, Vermont, New York
New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylva
nia, Louisiana, and Wisconsin. Three
‘of the 11—Rhode Island, New Jer
sey and Wisconsin—have adoptee
■ beer bills. The Wisconsin legisla
ture. in enacting a two and one-hall
percent law, provided that if the
United States supreme court sus
tains the Volstead act, the statute
| shall not go into effect. Rhode Is
land will license places selling bev
erages containing not more thar
four percent of acohol by weight
on the ground that it is non-intoxi
eating. New Jersey, in legalizing
| the manufacture, sale and trans
portation of three and one-half per
cent beer, awaits the formal decla
1 ration of peace and the end of war
time prohibition.
I Maryland wet legislators propose,
a three and one-half percent bill
• which was passed by the house, bu:
defeated in the senate. A three anc
! one-half percent bill is now pending
in the Massachusetts and New Yorl
(legislatures. Delaware is consider
, ing an amendment to the state pro
hibition code providing for the salt
of liquor for “medicinal purposes’
in harmony with the federal code
The drys oppose it one the grounc
that it nullifies much of the stat<
•
enforcement law.

BUSH ERECT
EDITH CAVELL
LONDON'.—A monument to Edith
C-avell, the British nurse who was
shot by the Germans at Brussels,
has been erected in Charing Cross
road, just off Trafalgar square and
almost under the shadow of the
Nelson monument.
The unveiling ceremony was con
ducted before a huge crowd by the
queen mother, Alexandra, being the
first act of state she has performed
in London since the death of her
husband. King Edward VII.
The monument is of gray granite
and stands 40 feet high. On the
four panels are the words: Humani
ty, Sacrifice, Devotion, and Forti
tude. On the back is the British
lion trampling on a serpent, and
above it are the words, “Faithful
Unto Death."
The statue, of white marble,
shows Nurse Cavell standing erect
in her nurse’s uniform. On the
base is the inscription:

it is possible to calculate the amount
