' PLENTY OF IRK
FOR IDLE LABOR
There was absolutely no need of
idle men being seen on the streets
of Anchorage today. Word came
from headquarters of the Alaskan
Engineering Commission calling lor
a hurry up order of 75 men and
the Dally Times immediately posted
a “Wanted 75 Men" in the different
pool halls and places frequented by
the laboring class.
In every construction camp and
railroad city in the country there will
always be idle men but this city has
been remarkably free from men walk
ing the streets looking for employ
ment and many of the men in this
city at the present time are idle sim
ply from the fact that they will not
accept the ordinary work of a day
laborer but want station work, which
is natural. However, this does not
help the labor situation with the
Alaskan Engineering commission for
this work must be done and it sounds
good to hear the cry of “Men Want
ed.” It is given up by the labor lead
er and men in power that the con
struction camps of the Commission
have no equal in the country for
comforts and suitable quarters for
the laboring man nor have any argu
ments or facts been produced other
than the men are absolutely satisfied
[ with the existing conditions.

, LOST HORSES FOUND
GRAZING GLACIER CREEK
Over two months ago L. W. Turner,
i a local lumber baron with large inter
ests in Anchorage and vicinity, lost a
fine team of matched iron gray horses
and since that time has spent consid
erable time and money in the effort
to recover them and reports that the
horses were found on the 12th above
the coal camp. Mr. Turner said the
horses were rolling fat, which speaks
well for the grazing opportunities as
a resource of this country.

IIS ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER ANCHORAGE
If George O. Brown tells it to the
people of San Francisco in the same
enthusiastic manner he used in his in
teresting conversation while seated in
the lobby of the Hotel Parsons this
morning The Daily Times will not be
needed to exploit the wonders of An- (
chorage and vicinity.
“I have been going some for a good
many years,” said Mr. Brown, “and I
have visited many of the frontier
cities of the states as well as the pla
cer camps and towns of Alaska, in
cluding Dawson and Fairbanks and I
will say frankly and without fear ot
dispute, that this city of Anchorage
stands in a class by itself and I will
; endeavor to tell my San Francisco
' friends and acquaintances why An
chorage is the first city in Alaska.”
Mr. Brown is a well known and
prosperous jeweler of San Francisco,
making a combined business and
pleasure trip to Anchorage and his !
favorable impression of this city
sounds good, as he is a man of vast
experience and knows whereof he
speaks when he further said, “you
have a very beautiful city, ideally- lo
cated and from what I have observed
myself and gathered from my old
friends James O’Reilly, the man who •
is authority on railroads, and “Billy”
Martin, the big Willow creek mining
operator, I feel safe in saying that I
do not believe the resources of this
country- have been touched and you
have the foundation and nucleus for
making Anchorage the most substan
tial ctiy in Alaska.”
Mr. Brown expressed himself as -
being amazed at the rapid develop
ment of the city- and the splendid
work that is being done on the rail
road and spoke enthusiastically in re
gard to the energy and progressive
spirit shown by Anchorage business
men and the competency of the men
in charge of the work that is being
accomplished by the Alaskan Engi
neering commission.
