GLDTIMER SAYS
NORTH IS GOOD
PLACE 10 STAY
—
Ving Say* Living Coat* In Outside
Cities Greater Than Those
In Alaska.
In the opinion of R. L. Vining,
oldtime Alaskan who arrived from
the Outside a few days ago with a
shipment of perishables and live
chickens, living conditions in Alaska
are more favorable than in many
of the Outside icties, when come
stories of high wages and easy
profits. And his advice to Northern
ers, whether they be in searcr of
business opportunities or jobs, is to
stay in Alaska.
Northerners, he says, especially
those who have been in the country ;
a long time, usually find it difficult
upon their return to the States, to
fint into conditions as they find
them there. And this is especially
true now, with the nation filled with
with war activities. Competition is
much keener in the States than it is
in Alaska, profits are limited by the
government, and the markets are
very uncertain. It is not always
that one may buy the things ho
needs to supply his trade.
Competition among wage earners
is also keen, Mr. Vining says, not
withstanding the fact that the war
indutsries have very largely in
creased the payrolls of the nation.
Wages are high, but so also is the
cost of living and it is only the
skilled worker and the expert who
can hope to command a wage suffi
ciently large to enable him to make
a reasonable profit on his labor.
The average worker has a better
chance in Alaska.
Mr. Vining says that he can live
more cheaply in Nenana than ke can
in Seattle. It is not possible to get
much of a meal in the Puget Sound
city for les than a dollar, and the
dollar meal served at the Tavern
cafe is as good as a dollar meal
Outside. Rents are very much higher
in Seattle than they are here and
they are soaring steadily. These
rents, with car fares and the hundred
and one other incidentals make a
big hole in a wage earner’s income.
Mr. Vining says that he has found
conditions in Alaska much better
than he expected to find them. A
number of Alaskans with whom he
talked before coming North led him
to believe that numerous of the In
terior camps were deserted, and he
was very agreeably suprised to find
conditions very much as usual, »vith
no appreciable decrease in popula
tion. It is his opinion, however,
that the country is being hurt by
those who go Outside and use the
hammer.
i _ . _
It is the opinion of the oldtimer
that the war will end next year and
that the return of peace will be
followed by a big boom in Alaska.
He has it doped out that the United 1
' States will have a force of sufficient J
' size in France by next spring to1
start an offensive which will com
pletely rout the German army. And
ronce the Germans are on the run,
he believes it will not be difficult
for the American troops to win a
decisive victory.
The American people, he says, are
now fully aroused to the seriousness
of the struggle in which the nation
has engaged, and they are putting
; forward every effort to make victory
certain and speedy.
i Mr. Vining will leave for the Out
' side within a few days and expects
i
i to return later in the summer with
another shipment and probably will
spend several months in and about
■ Nenana.

There has been no attempt to
give the amount of prizes that will
necessarily acompany each event, as
it is a little early in the game, but
the list is given for the purpose of
notifying the public just what may
be expected and so that they can
prepare themselves to take part in
this joyful sane manner of com
memorating the 142nd anniversary
of our independence.
i
All those who expect to take part
as contestants for the prize money
will please notify R. R. Douse, in
order that the committee in charge
may be prepared to give them the
proper attention.
Everything that will be announced
on the posters hereafter will posi
| tively be pulled off, with a good sub
stantial sum as a prize for each
event. The main attractions will be
i the baseball games between Nenana
j and Fairbanks, tug of war, horse
races, motor boat races, Indian canoe
i races and athletic sports. As far
I as the athletic events are converned,
j Nenana can boast of having some of
i the finest athletes in the country,
a great many of of the boys having
, medals and records to their credit
| that wou^ make interesting reading
if known.
The baseball grounds is now be
^ ing put in shape, and a grandstand
| is to be built that will accommodate
; all the people in Fairbanks and Ne
nana if necessary. The steamer
i Shusana has been chartered to bring
i the ball players, as well as the gen
eral public down from Fairbanks.
: The skipper of the boat wishes to
I announce that the excursion rate of
$10 round trip will prevail, with
dancing on the barge, and that he
: will be prepared to handle a capacity
load in comfort. It has been hinted
that the Shusana will have the Fair
banks band on board,in which everi
' excellent music may be expected
The boat will probably leave Fair
banks sometime on the 3rd of July
and arrive here early on the morning
] of the Fourth.
Everything •will cease to be on the
j Fourth and Fifth in a business way,
and with the Italians taking 40,000
Austrians prisoners and the possibility
| of taking 100,000 more, if we nevei
i had any excuse to celebrate the
j Fourth, we have one now. So \e\
out that old pair of running trunks
and see that the cleats on the base
. ball shoes are on tight, because some
J of you runners will have to do lots
of digging. There will be prizes
. for everyone, and a great many
people will surprise themselves by

track.
