OUTSIDE CONDITIONS BAD,
ASSERTS OLDTIME ALASKAN
The restoration of normal condi
tions in the Stares is a slow and
disheartening process, a*.cording to
Len Heacock. oldtim? Interior trans
portation man. who returned f'on
the States on a recent train, de
termined to make hi? heme in the
North. Conditions are not only ha t.
be says, but they appear to be grow
ing worst , particularly in the North
west and as f2r south as San Fran
cisco. Living costs are going down
gradually, but opportunities for em
ployment are becoming very few and
far between and wages are going
down more rapidly than prices of
commodities.
Len left Alaska five years ago
and was in Seattle during the days
when work was plentiful, at good
wages. He worked in the shipyards
and put his savings into a home,
intending to reside there permanent
ly. Then came the general suspen
sion of industrial activities, until
now there is practically nothing do
ing in the big Puget Sound city.
But the thing that is hurting Seat
tle most, according to the oidtimer,
is the high rate of taxation on city
property The tax on his home, for
instance, amounts to about $300 a
year, and many owners of real estate
-lave Been compelled to sacrifice
valuable holdings in order Bo keep
going. Refits in the residential dis
trict have lowered considerably dur
ing the last year, and there are
many places vacant, both in the
residential district arid in the busi
ness section of the city.
The oldtimer made a trip/ to San
Diego during the summer, and found
conditions very much better in the
South, but the climate did not agree
with him or with Mrs. Heacock. and
they were forced to return North.
Art Heacock is married and settled
down in San Diego, where he has
an excellent position on one of the
big papers there. The elder Hea
eocks also art located in Southern
California, where they have been
since leaving Alaska.
Len made the trip to San Diego,
with Mrs Heacock and the three
children, in his flivver, and returned
to Seattle in the same manner. The
trip, each way, cost them only about
J20 for gasoline and oil, and they
found comfortable camp-ng places
all alone the highway, the various
towns enroute competing actively
for the favor of auto travelers.
Automobiles are making great in
roads on the business of the rail
roads along the coast. A year ago.
Mr. Heacock says, there were five
trains running out of Los Angeles
daily for the North, and now it is
hard to get traffic enough for the
one train left on the run. The busi
ness appears to be going to the
Pickwick people, who operate big
auto stages in all parts of the coun
try, and beat the mail between San
Diego and Portland by 14 hours.
The fare for t£e trip is $44, with
stop-over privileges, and the travel
ing is more comfortable than by
train. And as an additional induce
ment to travel on the new line,
each passenger is given an insurance
policy for $10,000 in the event of
a fatal accident enroute, and lesser
payments for less serious injuries.
One has to go to Los Angeles to
see automobiles, Mr. Heacock seys.
Or. the main street of that city
there is a double line of machines
on each side of the street, and the
traffic regulations do not permit
crossing the busy thoroughfare on
side streets.
There is a large amount of build
ing in progress in Los Angeles. Len
says he stood at one point and was
able to count nine big structures in
process of erection in the business
section—and there were flu'id'eds of
others that he could not see.
From San Diego it is only about
17 miles to Tia Juana, on the Mexi
can side, where one could find all
manner of amusement at the time he
was in the South. It takes about
30 minutes oo make the run, l<-..i&ure
iv. and it is estima'ed 'hat upwards
of 150.000 machines crossed the
line daily, mostly headed fir the Tia
Juana race track. There did not ap
pear to be any restrictions cf ary
kind in the way of drinking and
gambling.
The Goodyear plant in Los An
geles. is employing about 8,000 men
a: present, about half th_- number
at work a year or so ago. This is
one of the big industrial plants in
that part of the state, and was at
tracted to the c-i'.y by the enter
prise of Los Angeles business and
realty men. It had been the inten
tion of the Goodyear people to lo
