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

CENSUS 1L BE
VERY IMPORTANT;
PLANS OUTLINED
WASHINGTON. D. C—That the
Fourteenth Decennial Census, on
which the actual enoumeration work
will begin January 2. 1920, is *o
be the most iraportane ever taken
is shown by the fact that the act
of Congress providing for this cen
sus expressly increased the scope of
the inquiries so as to include for
estry and forest products, two sub
jects never covered specifically by
any preceding census.
The inquiries to be made relating
to population, manufactures, mines,
quarries, and agriculture were also
extended in their scope by Congress,
the keenest interest over the forth
coming census having been shown
by the members of the census com
mittees of both the house and the
senate while the law was under con
sideration.
The statistics gathered on mining
will include all oil and gas wells.
Many startling developments in this
important branch of the nation's
resources are looked for by census
officials. The figures gathered in
Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas will
no doubt prove to be those most
eagerly sought for. as shown by in
quiries already received by the Cen
sus Bureau.
The compilation and gathering of
forestry apd forest products statis
ticts will be in charge of a special
force of experts. The accurate and
comprehensive figures gathered con
cerning this vita! natural resource
will be much in demand, and the
comparisons made with conditions
existing before the war will be of
great interest.
Agricultural statistics will like
wise be the subject of special eifort
on the part of the Census Bureau.
,as the importance of farming is
being realized by the average citizen
far more than ever before.

is PESSIMISTIC
HAMBURG.—A very pessimistic
view of the future of German sea
faring is drawn by Herr Heinekin,
director-general of the North Ger
man Lloyd, in the new year book
of the line.
“Out of the destruction of the
whole German economic situation
as it is determined by the peace
document, the destruction of Ger
many’s shipping follows as a mat
ter of course," he writes. As two
of the chief losses sustained by
German shipping, he cites the re
duction of German territory and
“the transfer of German railroads
to foreign interests,” so that, he
says, the Rhine shipping in part,
the Vistula shipping entirely, comes
under foreign control.
Loss of industries such as the
potash works in Alsace, the textile
factories and iron mines in Lor
raine and Luxemburg, he declares,
will be heavily felt by German ship
ping. because these industries will
direct their imports and exports via
Antwerp or French harbors, and
will be taken care of by French or
Belgian firms, which makes it out
of the question to use German
ships. Herr Heinekin adds:
“Then there must be figured the
huge material sacrifices that Ger
many has had burdened upon her
by giving up all her overseas pos
sessions and rights, by the provi
sions of the Entente by which she
must make reparations, by the for
eign prize-court verdict, and finally
by the clause that all German prop
erty abroad need be reckoned at
the peace rate.
“Germany has beer, robbed of all
its overseas facilities and shipping
quarters abroad. When all privi
leges, advantages and concessions
which Germany had in China have
been annulled, when the German
rights in Siam, Liberia, Morocco,
and Egypt have been declared void,
when German property is liquidated
in these countries, when finally the
urgently necessary foreign rfews
service is crippled by taking away
the German cable, it is the German
shipping that is the chief sufferer."
