 With the prospect Of means of transportation for their products the farmers are devoting all their ener- gies toward opening up new ground to cultivation. There is a steadily-in- creasing demand for local farm pro- ducts.
 The Tolovana and Kantishna dis tricts are receiving renewed attention. The Kantishna district particularly has bright prospects for lode and placer when heavy machinery can be placed on the ground at cost which is not prohibitive, as at present. Too

By Thomas Riggs, Jr. Commissioner
 In reviewing the operations for 1916, it must be borne in mind that practically nothing was started in the way of construction until July Is, and that little material could be ordered until funds were made available on July 1.
 Practically no supplies were pur- chased until July 20, with shipments from July 20 to August 30, which brought such supplies to Nenana in the latter part of September and the first of October, just before the freeze-up. In the meantime, what construction was accomplished was with make-shift outfit, and with ma terial purchased in the local market at higher price than the cost of ma terial purchased in Seattle and ship ped direct to the commission.
 Organization
 To reduce overhead expense and to allow as much construction as pos sible within the allotment of $1075,- 900, the overhead organization was cut to an absolute minimum.
 Engineering
 Mir. F. H. Bailey, the one district engineer on the division, supervised the construction of all commission building at Nenana, and the engineer ing in the Nenana and GoldStream districts. Three resident engineers covered over 100 miles of line. Su- perintendentS of construction were dispensed with and but one assistant superintendent employed.
 In the Fairbanks district the mem Der of the commission acted also as district engineer and superintendent of construction.

Clerical Force


 A total number of S& constitute the clerical force for the division, includ- ing the timekeeper, accounting, dis bursting and store departments. The work handled has been enormous, not so much on account of the amount of construction accomplished as on ac- count of the multiplicity of detail neceSSitated by small purchases where supplies were found to be available, transfer of men and mater ial, and long stretches to be covered.
 Nenaua
 In June, Nenana was a wilderness; {; at the end of December, Nenana is a well-arranged and well-ordered town. A census taken by the townSite mana ger showed 6l6 people having Nenana as their headquarters. The business section shows permanency of building, the streets are we'll lighted and excel lent order is maintained by fearless marshal and determined U. s. com missioner. The jail has so far never been occupied by a prisoner.
 There has been little illicit selling of liquor, although freighterS have brought in a quanty for individuals, and there has been some drunkenness. This prompted the now famous Cir cular 26." which provides that any employee of the Fairbanks division who becomes intoxicated either on or off duty will be summarily dismissed.
