Club Boosts Sale
OF Small Tracts

to give encouragement to the
farmer and hOmesteader. Alas
ka grown produce is given pre-
ference by the purchasing a
gents all along the line and
farming machinery and other
freight needed by the farmer
to assist in the development
of his land is transported over
the government railroad at
greatly reduced rates.
The Land and Industrial
department has induced many
settlers to take up land in the
coast section tributary to the
railroad, with the result that
there are now several promis-
ing farming communities in
that part of Alaska. Similar
results, it is believed, can be
obtained in the Nenana dis
trict, where there is large
area of good soil and an equal
ly good market for the produce
of the farms.
The Nenana Commercial
club is cooperating with the
Land and Industrial depart
ment in the land settlement
campaign and has already
taken steps to interest pros
pective settlers in the oppor-
tunity offered of acquiring
good farming land on easy
terms. Data is being gathered
for the enlightenment of those
interested and circulars are to
be assured containing full in
formation regarding the plan.
These are to be distributed
broadcast throughout the In
terror and the campaign later
doubtless will extend to the
Outside, with the object of at
tracing farmers to the Nenana
valley. ":: .:-..

KANT|SHNA MINERS SEEK
WINTER MAIL SERVICE

The miners of the Kantishna
district have petitioned the
pOstotfice department to pro-
vide them with a regular mail
service and strong pressure is
being brought to bear, from
several quarters, to induce the
department to authorize the
service sufficiently early to in
sure regular deliveries during
the coming winter.
The matter was taken up
with John c. Murphy several
weeks ago, when he was in the
Kantishna country, and he has
done everything possible to
bring about the desired results
at the earliest possible moment.
In addition to forwarding the
petition to the postOffice de-
partment, letters have been
written to Delegate SulZer, vari-
Gus commercial bodies and to
individuals whose influence
will tend to hasten matters at
Washington.
One of the letters was sent
to the Nenana Commercial club
and that body will cooperate
actively with the Kantishnaites,
the matter already having been
taken up by the executive
board of the club. 1t is realized
by the members of the local
organization that the proposed
service will not only benefit
the people of the Kantishan
but also attract considerable
business to Nenana, by virtue
of having the mail enrouted by
way of Nenana. the logical dis
tributing point for the Kan
tishna country.

BENEFIT PLAN FOR
The RED CROSS

The ladies of Nenana, under
the leadership of Mrs. Thos.
Riggs, Jr., are preparing to
stage another Red Cross ben
eft. On this occasion the cub
lie will be offered an enter
tainment consisting of Il varied
program, all of the details of
which have not been decided
upon. 1t is known, however,
that the benefit will be held
at the Coliseum on the night
of September tenth and that
a number of moving pictures
of local interest, taken by Com
missioner Ri will be shown,
in addition to a good comedy,
supplied by the Coliseum man
agement. There will also be
musical numbers and other
attractions, as vet unannOunced
and the program will be follow
ed by a Red Cross dance, which
is sure to be attended by the
entire dancing population, and
then some.
The funds realized from the
benefit probably will be taken
Outside by Mrs. Riggs and pre-
scented personally to the officers
of the American Red Cross
society, in the name of Nenana.
Mrs. Riggs is planning to
leave for the East toward the
end of the month and Will
spend the winter Outside.

AUSTRALIANS JAIL
INDUSTRIAL LEADERS

Melbourne-The Australian
government has placed the In
dustriaI Workers of the world
under the ban, on the grounds
that the fraternity is an illegal
organization. This action was
taken because of the attempt
that was being made to start
strikes and destroy factories
throughout the island. Eight
of the leaders were recently
arrested and sentenced to i'm
prisOnment for six months.

For the purpose of encourage
ing the development of the agrl-
cultural land Immediately
adjacent to the town of Nenana
the Land and Industrial de-
partment of the Alaskan En-
cheering commission has set
apart a number of small tracts
of desirable land, ranging in
size from two to ten acres,
which may be purchased from
the government at a low price
per acre and on very easy terms
the payments being extended
over period of five years.
The plan was announced by
Manager Christensen during
his recent visit to Nenana and
the sale of the tracts has been
left in the hands of the town
site management, with full
authority to dispose of the
tracts on the terms agreed
upon. The only restriction
placed on the sale of the prop
erty is that the purchasers
will improve the property I'M
mediately, it being the inten-
ton of the department to dis
courage speculation.
The tracts are sufficiently
large for the needs of the av-
erage Alaskan farmer and will
yield substantial returns if
intelligently planted. In fact,
the location of the tracts is
such that a good market is as
sured from the start for great
variety of crops and there is
every reason to believe that the
land will increase steadily in
value because of it's proximity
to the railroad.
1t is the policy of the Alas
kan Engineering commission

TOWN LOT PRICES
APPEAL TO MANY

The elimination of CONNIE
titive bidding in the sale of res
idence property in Nenana
has enabled the townsite man
agement to dispose of a con-
siderable number of pieces of
property during the past week
and there is assurance that
each lot purchased will be inn
proved before the end of the
summer by the erection of a
home. The lots are being sold
with the understanding that
improvements are to be made
within a reasonable time, this
restriction having been decided
upon by the management of the
Land and Industrial depart
ment to prevent purchasing for
speculation only.
Towns,te Manager Ryus re-
ports that more than twenty
lots have been sold since the
arrival of Mr.. Christensen and
several houses are already in
course of construction on the
newly acquired property. The
lots were sold at their APP
praised value, and the prices
range from $25 upwards, de-
pending upon the location.
The popularity of the new
sale plan, it is believed, will
attract many more purchasers
before the snow flies and insure
a much larger population than
might otherwise be expected.

There $ no problem of "unemploy- ed' in the city now
 The demand for all sorts of labcr has increased in proportion as the volume Of 'big business" spread over the city, until there are enormous de- mands for persons willing to work in any lines, and particularly is there a demand for d9mestics in the boarding houses and hotels of the city.
 Every person in Hot Springs who is able and willing to perform any kind of work can find that work to do now if they will use any effort what .cver" was the statement authorized yesterday by a leading citizen in q position to make a careful survey Of the situation in Hot Springs this sea son Tt is but natural that the more people we have the more will be the demand for help at this time, 10 say nothing of the era of building and prosperity that will follow in general way during the summer months after the crowd has gone
 There were additional trains of large capacity to roll into the city yes teriay over the Rock Island and Iron Mountain roads. The trains grow propcrtionately heavier, and this is ex- pected to continue at least until after .neXt Monday. Perhaps by that time the largest volume Of the business will have been moved and thereaiter there will Ee at least a lessenine of the tension the railroads have been put 10 in order to satisfy the demands of the travelling public to get to Hot Springs.
 There were more horse ship ments into this city yesterday, bu, they were fer the most part the ar rival of stables which had been book ed. and from whom reservations had been made.

Also the car penters have transferred the old Ar kansas State Fair machinery hall' in- to a series of stalls which are ready
 for occupancy at this time and book ings for which have been made long ago.
 "G was surprised when at New Or leans I received a telegram from Judge Campbell asking me to assist in diyerting stables from Hot Springs" said Jack Dempsey yesterday, 'but it was a fact, and knew that certainly the facilities of the Oaklawn must have been sorely tried befcre such q word would have been sent It is & big thing for Hot Springs to realize that so many big stables wanted teJ ccme here that all could not be acf commodated, and that some had to bep requested not ta ship as they could nbt secure accommodations
