IMANY COMING
TO THE NORTH
TO FIND WORK
Hundreds are coming to Alaska
j thus season according to T. W. Haw
kins, who returned on the Alaska Sat
urday after a trip to the states.
‘ Everywhere I went,” said Mr. Haw
kins, ‘ 1 was bombarded by questions
from those who have either been in
Alaska in previous years, anti intend
to return, or from those who believe
that the chances up here for work and
personal gain is greater than in the
states. Wages for common labor is
jood in the states but the high cost
of living absorbs all of this amount.
Living is cheaper in Alaska than it is
n the states, and although this may
»oem an astonishing statement, it is
I the truth.
“In Denver, Portland and Seattle
there are hundreds of former Alas
kans who are coming back north, and
especially to this section, just as soon
1 as there is a demand for labor, which
will be within the next month or so.
Vot only laboring meu but investors
i are coming north and many arc com-!
! ing to Seward, points to the westward,
! in the mining district north of An
j ehorage and to the Iditarod. I do not
believe that the commission will ex
- perience any difficulty in securing
- plenty of men for the railroad work
i napped out for this year.”
