MARSHAL ERWIN
SAYS ALASKANS
ARE IN CLOVER
U. S. Marshal L. T. Erwin Tell*
of Condition* In the States;
High Prices Rule.
United States Marshal L. T. Erwin
was a passenger on the steamer
Tanana bound for Fairbanks, whith
er he is returning after a business
trip to the States. For part of the
time he spent on the Outside the
marshal was under the care of the
doctor. During the stay of the
boat he was seen around town look
ing up old friends. He resumed the
voyage this afternoon.
In an interview accorded a News
representative, Marshal Erwin said
that everything is booming out in
the States, due to the extraordinary
activities which the war has brought
about, activities which are only of
a temporary nature and will last
only for the duration of the war.
Every line of endeavor, he said,
was working full blast and there
were many industries that were short
handed and could use many more
men.
But, although work of almost any
kind at a good rate of wages could
be easily obtained, the living cost
is very high and the men employed
in these war industries are hard put
to make ends meet- The price of
the necessaries of life have soared
to almost prohibitive rates and the
house rents have also taken a
tremendous upward flight and con
sequently even the highest paid
artizan, mechanic, laborer and clerk
finds it a difficult task to lay aside
any of his earnings,
j These conditions prevail all over
the States, and the marshal sounds
a warning to those Alaskans who
contemplate leaving the country and
urges them to count the cost before
making the plunge. The war may
end sooner than anybody expects,
which will immediately result in
many millions being thrown out of
employment. Alaskans, he says, are
a whole lot better off here, and
gives it as his honest conviction
that they are making a great mis
take in leaving the country.
At the conclusion of peace, the
preference will be given to those
who have served at the front in
appointments to positions that they
may be able to fill, and a vast num
ber of men will be forced to seek
jobs elsewhere.
Regarding living conditions, the
marshal said that a meal such as
is served in the restaurants in Alaska
for a dollar cannot be duplicated
for that price anywhere in the
States, owing to the exhorbitant
cost of the provisions.
He expects that there will be a
large influx of people to the North
as soon as peace has been declared
and predicts an era of prosperity
for Alaska when that desirable end
has been attained.
SALVAGE NOTICE
The committee in charge of the
salvage in connection with the Red'
Cross would appreciate it if those
who have any salvaged material
would bring it to the city fire hall
as soon as possible. A shipment
of salvage is being got ready, and
as it will be the last opportunity
to make a shipment this season,
all those who are interested are
- urged to bring the material with as
^1 little delay as possible to the fire
hall.

LABOR UNION MEETING

The Nenana Labor union will hold

Hall at seven o’clock tonight. Nom
inations for president will be in

Liljgren and Wagner, the Naked
Island fox farmers, recently sold 56
fine skins which netted them over
$100 per skin, says the Valdez Min
er. Fox farmers are making mon
ey by the barrel these days, owing
to the prevailing high prices for
all kinds of furs.

COGGY
DUBLIN.—The Irish farmer in
the past has been in the habit of
growing excellent oats. The oats'
are then exported to Scotland and
imported back again to Ireland in
the form of oatmeal for his food
and of by-prducts as food for his
catle The thrifty Scotchman makes
a handsome profit out of it.
The war promises to change this
very uneconomic Irish method and
induce the Irish farmer to do better
for himself. In many districts grain
mills are being erected in Ireland.
About seventy co-operative societies
have now oat mills and flour mills
of their own. One society of Sir
Horace Plunkett’s organization in
Kerry borrowed two thousand
pounds from the bank and started
a mill and worked the grain to the
utmost extent so that the members
obtained excellent flour for their
families and feeding stuff for their
cattle and pigs. The result is un
precedented prosperity in the dis
trict.
The old grain milling business of
Ireland was lost to the country be
cause the millers would not change
their methods and use up-to-date 1
machinery and plants. Now there
is a healthy change of feeling,
stimulated by the needs of the war.
John Bernard and Andrew An-'
derson arrived in Nenana this morn- i
ing from the Lignite country.
We’ll substitute corn for wheat
and victory for defeat.
