“The Outside may be all right,
and I am not saying people cannot
make money there, if they have
money to start with or are in busi
ness; but in my opinion it is no
place for the workingman. As bad
as they are, conditions in Alaska
are better right now than in any
of the towns I saw in the States.’’
That is the way George Brown,
oldtimer of the North, just back J
from the States, describes condi-1
tions as they appeared to him in
Seattle, Vancouver, and other coast
cities. He says there are a lot of
idle men along the coast just now,
and the number is increasing steadi
ly as a result of a slowing down j
of shipbuilding and other construc
tion activities. During the time
that he was in Vancouver, 700 men
were laid off in one day, and more
were to follow.
crown nas been in the North
since 1900, and went out last fall
on his first visit since leaving the
States, attracted partly by glowing
accounts of prosperous conditions
and partly by a desire to take
things easy for a few months. He
saw a lot of money being spent,
but be did not find conditions
among the workers of the coast very
prosperous. In fact, he says, con
ditions are such at present that
one has to actually beg for a job,
and some of the unemployed, he
was told, have been reduced to the
point of begging for something to
eat. Brown says he did not look
for a job, but he met and talked
with many workers.
Brown found a good restaurant in
Seattle, back of the Smith building,
where substantial* meals are served
at 35 cents each, and the place is
enjoyin'?- a good run. He found the
meals there better than those of
many of the higher priced cafes.
Clothing prices in Seattle are as
high as they are in Interior Alaska.
Brown priced a suit of Medlicott,
black label, in Seattle, and found
that he could buy the same suit in
Brooks for the same money—$10.
He decided to wait until he reached
Brooks before investing, thus saving
the excess weight on the trail.
Brown came North on the steam
ship Alameda and says the boat
brought a considerable number of
passengers up, but was not crowded.
Quite a few disembarked at Cor
dova, enroute to the copper mine
at Kennecott, and a number came
on to Seward to seek work on the
Government railroad. Attached to
the train which brought him to An
chorage there was a coach-load of
men for the commission, sent from
Seward to work on the road; but up
to the time Brown left, they had
not been placed and rt was not
known to the men when they would
get on. The arrivals were furnish
ed with passes at Seward, and they
expected to be provided with bed
and board upon arrival at Anchor
age, but in that they were disap

Brown says the commission has
quite a force at work north of Tal
keetna, a Kan*? of considerable size
being engaged at Hurricane gulch,
where preparations are being made
for the steel bridge which is to be
| erected there later, and others being
[strung out along the grade, beyond
'the end of steel.
i The trail was not in very good
[condition when Brown and his com
; panion, Dugas, came over. It began
[snowing on the day they left Tal
• keetna, February first, and con
tinued to snow all the way over,
with occasional drifts of considera
ble depth. It was hard mushing,
; but they made it in nine days, and
: without snow-shoes. They reached
-Canyon City on Monday, just too
[late to catch the train into town
They arrived last night, having wait
ed for the regular train.
Brown expects to return to his
[old stamping grounds in the Tolo
ivana, and will leave for that dis
trict probably on tomorrow’s train.
