ALASKA BETTER
THAN THE STATES,
AVERS SOLDIER
Lester Earhart, a Nenana regis
trant, who had served in the army
with Company B, 14th infantry,
stationed at Camp Grant, Illinois,
arrived in Nenana yesterday on the
Victory, from Fairbanks. Lester
wears a sergeant's chevrons on his
military tunic, and also the insignia
showing that he belonged to the
Twilight division. He stated that he
is tickled to death to be back in
Alaska again, and that he would
sooner be broke in Alaska than be
a millionaire in the States.
He was discharged from the army
at Camp Grant on March 6th, and
ere heading for the North, visited,
among other places, Chicago, Bos
ton, Philadelphia and New York.
Immediately after receiving his dis
charge, he visited with hi? folks at
Des Moines, Iowa, for a while, and
then started out to take in the
sights in the big cities. He is loud
in his praises of the treatment ac
corded him by everyone wherever
he went, and states that he certain
ly had a good time. The States,
he says, with all their many ad
vantages. are not altogether satis
fying to Alaskans, and every plea
sure that was his during his stay
Outside palled after a little while
and only seemed to intensify the
longing for the North.
Alaska would appear to be more
talked about in the States after
the Alaska soldiers had gone out
there and mingled with the people
in the various towns, than at any
previous time, and a great many
rre said to be making inquiry about
the Northland. Lester delivered
several lectures on Alaska in some
cf the towns he visited; among
others, he spoke to a large crowd
at Swift’s plant in Chicago, and
again at the Rotary club in Rock
ford, Illinois.
He says he met a great many
Aiaskans during his travels in the
States, and that, without a single
exc- tion, they all expressed a wish
to be back Xorth. He says that all
who can possibly do so are surely
eiming Xorth, and that about 1,-jOO
Alaskans were waiting at Seattle
to get reservations on the north
bound boats. Seattle, he said,
seemed to be full of Alaskans.
He attended the Alaska reunion
held at Seattle recently to cele
brate the breakup, and describes it
as the best function he attended
while in the States, for the reason
that all present were Alaskans and
they enjoyed themselves in the good
old Alaskan way.
Out in the States, he says, thing.;
seem to be in a very unsettled
state, everything is in a turmoil,
and a feeling of unrest and dis
satisfaction is ever present, and
people do not seem to know quite
where they are at.
Among the Alaskans met with in
the States was Jack Xelson, former
ly engineer for the A. E. C. here.
He was in Chicago, but was not
doing anything. Bob Bresnahan
was married recently in Chicago,
where he has a good position. Scot
ty Dalton is also married and has
settled down in Des Moines. Ed
Willette, who also has become a
benedict, is in San Francisco. Alex
Carey and Ray Erchinger are in
the brass foundry business in Se
attle and are said to be doing well.
Lester Robertson and Fred Holm
berg are in the garage business in
Seattle and also are doing very well.
Monk Murphy was working at one
of the shipyards in Seattle when
Lester left. His mother and sister
are also living in Seattle. Monk
is said to be the champion dancer
of the Pacific coast; he takes in the
dances nearly all the time. Tommy
King is also married and has set
tled down in Seattle.
At Juneau, Lester met Joe Raatz
and his wife and Miss Jane Ander
son, and he says they seemed to
like it pretty well there.
At Cordova, which he says is
booming, he met Ben Sherman,
George Walker, Gus Utberg, Mr.
and Mrs. Jack Heath, Billy Keffer.
and Pete Lorenzen, and they all
seemed to be happy and doing well.
It was a difficult task, he says,
to secure passage on a northbound
boat at Seattle, and he had to wait
three weeks before he could secure
a berth. He came north on the
steamship Alameda and reached
Fairbanks in 11 days from Seattle
