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.

nana district may be obtained from the

LONDON.—In America, it is re
ported here, many erstwhile manu
facturers of alcoholic beverages are
now devoting themselves to the pro
duction of soft drinks and mineral
waters. In this country, as the re
sult of what one paper calls the
“boom in booze,” several manufac
turers of non-intoxicating beverages
are turning’ their attention to the
production of drinks that possess
what is popularly called a decided
“kick.”
j Evidence of that was conspicu
ously apparent at the Brewers’ Ex
hibition which opened recently. One
| of its features was the display of
■ wines, liquers, and cordials by a
firm whose name heretofore has
been a household word in the min
eral-water trade.
j “During the war.” said one of the
directors of the company, “we sup
plied 15,000,000 bottles of soda wa
ter to the army. Now that that
; trade has gone, we are going in
■ strong for liquers, tawny ports,
l tonic wines and other drinks that
are not lacking in what some of
our American customers call a
■ ’punch/
“People who have hitherto re
garded ginger wine as a harmless,
: non-alcoholic beverage which warms
the heart and leaves no bad head
the next morning will have to be
j careful how they indulge in it in
future in this country. It has be
icome distinctly elevating in charac
ter in the hands of this firm.
| “Perhaps that is the reason why
;We have already sold 54,000 dozen
bottles of it this year,” said the
director.

PIONEERING WAY
NEW YORK.—Air routes between
'New York *Lnd Boston and as fai
south as the Carolinas are being
'charted by the Atlantic coast patrol
'of the United States army air serv
ice, according: to Colonel Archie
Miller, commanding: the Mitchel and
HazeLhurst fields on Long Island.
The army flyers, in six DeHavi
land and four bombing: machines,
with four DeHavilands and four
bombers in reserve, are to continue
all winter cross country work, gen
eral map making:, course charting:,
and reporting ships in distress at
sea. The latter feature will be ac
complished by means of wireless
equipment installed in the patrol
planes. The radio also will be used
in case the flyers need to summon
assistance.
Colonel Miller said the flyers were
giving an excellent demonstration of
how an army airplane and pilot may
be utilized to advantage in time
of peace. An observer accompanies
each DeHaviland plane. Each ma
chine, he said, has an increased ga3
carrying capacity.
The First aero squadron was or
ganized and trained at Kelly field,
Texas, shortly after the outbreak
of the war, and was later sent over
seas, where it saw much active
sendee. Army flyers have long been
doing Mexican border patrol work,
but it is the first time, the colon e’
said, that they have been employed
in similar active service elsewhere.
Extension of the service to in
clude mapping of aerial routes on
the Atlantic seaboard, and later the
Middle Atlantic states, is said to be
in contemplation. At present, while
one-third of the First aero squadron
personnel is out on patrol work the
other two-thirds are resting. All
flights are non-stop between the
home field and the destination, thus
putting the pilots under a system
as rigorous in point of training as
they experienced during the war.
Aviation experts have attributed the
efficiency of American pilots in
France to the fact that they were
compelled to fly at regular inter
vals and, consequently, did not have
time to forget their training.

LOAN, France.—Residents of the
devastated districts of France are
i still fleeing from bursts of shell and
shrapnel. The new menace is caused
by small grass and swamp fires
which frequently set off the shells
that have been piled up to be hauled
away and exploded in some safe
place.
I Major H. C. Greene, of Boston,
Mass., had a thrilling ride and nar
rowly escaped a hail of shrapnel on
his way from St. Quentin to Laon,
as a result of one of these fires. A
French woman working in a field
near Boueonville was gassed and
considerable damage has been done.
In the vast, desolate fields, thou
sands of unexploded shells have been
picked up by German prisoners, and ,
though there are details hauling
them away and exploding them in i
remote valleys every day, there are
still long ranks of them every
where. Sparks from locomotives
and from small fires where battle
field rubbish is being burned, occa
sionally set fire to patches of dry j
weeds and the accidental bursts are ,
numerous. Roads passing places;
where shells are being set off are j
guarded, but it is from the aeci-'
dental blasts that the danger comes, i
