was designed and heralded by Con- gress as the one that should make possible the settlement and develop ment of this our last great frontier.
 Another glaring and ominous fact is this, which also supports our ar gument: Almost no new homes are being established by the sturdy men an capable, attractive women of the country. Perhaps an explanation is disclosed by the words of man be. longing to that large and inestimably important class designated as 'com- mon laborers," when he said: "If loved a woman enough to marry her, I'd be loving her too much to ask her to marry me under present conditions. I'd not want her to take a chance on having to skimp and worry like the wives of lot of these other poor devils who were married before the war or be- fore they hit this country"
 Is it not clear to every construc- tive mind. that the Governments ap- propriations for Alaskan develop ment should be expended along lines that will make possible, and as easy and speedy as possible, the estab- i lishment of communities consisting i of families, instead of camps of single men, men who drift hither and yon with every passing breeze? Let no man mislead you into think ing that this land will not eventu- ally become land of homes?
 While the foregoing is happening to the family men, how fares it with the single men? and is there a wage relation between the two classes?
 The single men have been quite generally silent on the wage ques- tion, and to all outward appearances comparatively we'll situated. If any set of men can be satisfied with present wage, conditions the single men should be, as the following situation clearly indicates: They get their meals at the messhouse at a itrifle more than one-half of what it costs the Government to provide said meals. Their rooms, heat and light are furnished them at the nominal charge of $1.5O a month each, which we are safe in asserting is without profit to the Government. They purchase their working wearables and sundries, if they so choose, from the Government commissary, on the same terms as the family men do, which means that they get such mer- chandise and sundries at 10 percent above Seattle invoice, plus freight
 The family men, whether living in Government cottages on the re- serve or maintaining their homes our in town, pay for their dwellings, their light, heat and water at a rate which puts them in class by them selves; class that is at least one dollar per day worse off per man than the single men who are follow ing similar lines of employment and 1

 Farmers Trappers Tourists
 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 short time ago almost inaccessible, are now easily reached by means of the new Govern |, ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon Il, will be the scene of much mining ac- tvity. .-.. HI Farming in the Nenana district has III the advantage of growing season fully ten days longer than that of any other HI section. of Interior Alaska. There is much desirable land in the district open to homesteaders, and marketing possi- bilities are being expanded steadily. HI Fur-bearing animals of the Nenana and adjacent districts are noted for the HI fine quality of their fur, and trappers MI annually bring large numbers of pelts III to Nenana and receive for them higher prices than are obtained for the average M 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 dStr1ct are un- surpassed. The district is the natural gateway to Mt Mckinley National Park and close to Nenana may be viewed the largest coal lodges in the world
