HAGAN RETURNS;
 SAYS OUTSIDE IS
 REGISTERING NOW

Deputy Marshal James Hagan, who returned from a brief visit to the States this week, declares that he did not see any evidence of hard times in those cities which he visited on the coast. On the contrary he says, things appear to be very prosperous, especially in Seattle.
 A stranger never would guess, he says, that Seattle only recently lost it's great shipbuilding industry and large part of the city's working population. There are no idle men in evidence and of the thousands who are working many have their own cars and ride to and from work in them It is daily sight to see scores and even hundreds of autos parked near a factory or other in dustrial plant, indicating an un- usual state of prosperity among the workers of the Outside.
 MT. Hagan was not Outside long and did not see much of the country, but he declares that what he did see convinced him that there is work on the coast for all who really want work, and the wages are better than they are in Alaska, especially in this section of Alaska.
 That is why people are not com ing to Alaska, he told represent ative of The News They know what is going on in the North and they are too well satisfied to move.
 Portland looks good, but MT. Hagan was particularly impressed by the appearance of business act ivity in Seattle. And he saw a number of oldtime Northerners who appeared to be doing well there.
 Business seems fairly good along the Alaska coast also, he says. He met an old friend at Ketchikan who is doing very well in the fishing business and he learned that most of the fishermen in that section are prospering.
 MT. Hagan returned to the Inter for with Marshal Erwin and reports having had somewhat tedious trip over the Richardson trail, their pro- gress having been delayed some what by snow. They travelled most of the way by auto but were com pelled to abandon the car on the summit, where horse sleighs are being used to get the passengers across.
