In another column the Citizen gives an account of the troubles which beset-G party of three during their jouTrey over the Valdez trail in the month of May. The hard ships encountered were not of a really serious ratire, but the mex perience of the men caused them 10 magnify their troubles, and their total untItness for Alaskan life has been amply demonstrated since their arrival.
 1t will be remembered that some three weeks ago pe7scr named Sharman left Valdez with about 20 men whom he was "ConGucting" into the interior-for a cor sidera- tion. These men had been engaged i'll Seattle by the agents oi the Mineowners and Operators assc ia ton, and had been promised work on their arrival The majority of the men engaged were physically untitted tor work in the drift, but in order to encourage them to come the agents were guilty of gross nis- representation.
 Many of the men were from fac tories and workshops. where their whole time had been devoted to some branch ot highly specialized industries. Some were expert tradesmen and others had only done the very lightest of laboring work in the states. Yet these men were promised work in their own trades

ARE WE SHORT OF LABOR :?

Discussing the importation of jabOref> fEto Fairbanks for work during 1T" present summer. the CordoEa North Star says:
 While the North Star does not want 10 throw cold water on the effort ot the Panama or Mr.. Sharman 10 secure Iaborors. what i. knows of the conditions, nothing like ,50O men will be needed. Us the camp has been o}eesupplied with laborcrs the past three years, despite the ,tampedes from time to time. Every year, however, certain mining operators attempt to inn port men from the outside, the latter paying their own way. owing to trouble with the local union. Only the physically strong can stand the work, for fl is hard. and S5 a day is not such large wages for the work required. This k added so that those unacQuainted with the conditions may not be attracted by the wages offered without first posting themselves.

Men Imported From Seattle
 Have q Hard StruggIa
BEARS MOSQUITOES AND HUNGER
Cheeohao0S Find Life 0F tas Trail More Exciting Than Pleasant and Are Bitter Against Those Who Induced Them to Come to Alaska.

John Jackson, Max Obinslli and l.. Buttoyich arrNed from Valdez last Sunday after an eN- perionce of Alaskan travel that will finger in their memories for a long time To come.
 They were among the party which started out from Valdez on May r., under the guidance of d Nr. SHarman. who Was representing the Panama Mine Owners and Operators associa- tion: and if their statements are anything 10 go by, there has been a great deal of misrepro- sentation indulgeJ in in order to brin z men into Alaska to work.
 The difficulties of the trail at this season of the year are con siderable. and when the three men above mentioned saw the slow progress being made by the party they decided to push on ahead of the rest. As most of the roadhoU>eo were closed it was necessary To 'SiWash. but where roadhou~es were still open provisions could be purchased at reasonable rates
 In many cases the travellers had to take to the summer trail and frequently they had 10 swim across the streams. They lost all their blankets and equipment at an early stage of tho Journey. and the nights of misery they endured can only be imagined. Tortured by mosquitoes during the d3T. and in mortal fear of bears during the night. they got little rest. and never knew but what the next moment might be their last. To hear the three men talk of their prjyationS g.as heartrending.
 At last they reached the Tan ana. where they decided to build raft and float down the river to Fairbanks. Here their troubles commenced anew.
 The first day out the raft was caught in the current and Jack son was carried of the raft by sweeper. His terrified compan- ions were unable to control the raft sufficiently for Jackson to get aboard. After drifting about half q mile the raft grounded, and ButtoVich and Obinski man aged to get Jackson ashore in a state of collapse. It vas only with great difficulty and after many hours that the unfortun- ate man was reSUScitated. Noth- ing, however. could induce him to re-embark on the raft. He decided to walk the rest of the distance into Fairbanks, while his companions continued their journey by river Strange to say Jackson arrived in town lllI tt lIouI - DNIoi - iIlt OllIti .. and by remarkable coincidence met at the same lodging house. Each greeted the others as one risen from the dead.
 The men say that they were induced to come to Alaska by the glowing accounts they re ceiyed from the agerts of the mineOWnerS outside. It was represented to them that work was plentiful in their respective trades, and nothing was said to them about working in the drift. As matter of fact none of the three are capable of doing such work.
