The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, fanning, 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
tine 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 ol
trout streams easy of access, and the
scenic wonders of the district arc 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

WILL TAKE HAND
MEXICO CITY.—Mexican women
are preparing to take a hand in the
affairs of the Mexican republic.
They intend first to eliminate social
and industrial evils, and later to
make a fight for political equality.
This is the program of the Mexican
Feminist council, a national organ
ization with headquarters in Mexico
City.
The council does not believe that
the mass of Mexican women are at
present prepared for complete suf
frage, but the council hopes eventu
ally to make them a political force.
The present Mexican government
. looks with favor upon their efforts,
j according to Senorita Elena Torres,
! general secretary of the council.
| Heads of the government, she said,
advocate "complete emancipation of
‘Mexican women.”
j The Feminist council has organ
ized groups to teach Mexican women
how their conditions may be im
'proved industrially and socially.
.The next step, said Senorita Torres,
iwill be organization of women work
ers in industry to demand fair and
| equal treatment at the hands of
j their employers. They will not
j countenance any bitter sex war such
jas has characterized the feminist
! movement in some European coun
tries, but expect co-operation from
|the men. The council intends to
|bring the Mexican women’s move-:
jment in contact with similar organ
izations in other countries and to
'work with the women of the world
I for peace, disarmament, and anti
(imperialism.
! Senorita Torres predicts that
Mexican women will create a new
iera of amicable relations and a more
complete understanding between
'Mexico and the United States. Lat
jer, she said, the Feminist council
intends to propose the formation of
ja Latin-Ameriean union to bring
about a closer friendship, culturally,
i industrially and politically, between
! Mexico and the countries of South
and Central America.

FISHERIES BOAT FIRE
NEARLY WRECKS VESSEL
Fire aboard the bureau of fish
eries boat Murre at Hoonah on the
third of December did several thou
sand dollars' worth of damage to
the vessel. The fire started at 1 :M0
in the morning, and the first notice
the sleeping crew had was when the
flames broke through into the after
staterooms. Captain Charles Nau.i
risked death in crawling through the
flames to where the fire extinguish
ers were, and after a sharp fight
the boat was saved.
