That many former residents of
the Interior country, who left Alas
ka to help Uncle Sam win the war,
either ' as fighting men or in the
ranks of the American industrial
army, will return North before the
end of the summer, is the belief of
Eric Nelson, well-known oldtimer,
who arrived here from the States on
the steamer Yukon this morning.
Nelson admits that times are good
in the States and that there is work
for almost anyone seeking employ
ment, but he says conditions are
very much unsettled, with strikes
occurring frequently and the cost of
living greater than it is in the
North. One can get good wages in
the States, he says, but the work,
as a rule, is exacting and hard, and
the cost of living such as to ne
cessitate steady employment. When
one is out work it does not take
long for his savings to disappear.
Nelson declares that all the
northbound boas are crowded, which
is evidence enough for him that
travel has started in this direction.
The coast towms are filling up rap
idly with returning Northerners and
newcomers, and while not many thus
far have reached the Interior, they
are bound to get here, believes this
oldtimer, in the course of time.
Fishing activities and improved
conditions generally along the coast
of Alaska have made it possible for
the coast towns to absorb many of
the arrivals, and by the time the
overflow starts, he believes ample
funds will be available to insure em
ployment for a great number on
the government railroad.
Regarding the appropriation, Mr.
Nelson says Nenana appears to be
the only place where the willingness
of Congress to aid the project is
doubted. In every other locality
the people seem to take it for grant
ed that the road will be completed
without further delay.
Of the coast towns visited, Mr
Nelson found the greatest activity a'
Juneau, where the mines have taker
on many men. The fishing indus
try is also being developed at thi
capital rapidly, and promises a per
manent source of revenue. Condi
tions will be still further improve*
soon by the commencement of oper
ations at a new- mine a short dis
tance from Juneau. The plans in
elude the employment of a consid
erable force of men.
