out stationery and many of the oth- CT things usually expected in a ho- tel. Mot as good as roadhouse in Alaska" is the way he describes some of the Outside hostelries.
 Ball visited number of cities along the Pacific coast, saw a con- siderable part of Texas, and re- newed old acquaintances in Arkan- sas. He found oil excitement in many sections of the country, with considerable activity even in his home state, where there are a num- Der of producing wells. He also visited a number of towns along the Alaska coast and found ketchi- kan and Juneau very live places, due largely to the fishing industry. Interior Alaska is receiving some very undesirable advertising at pres ent. Ball says. He met number of former residents outward bound from Nenana and elsewhere in the Interior, and some who had been out for some time, and their refer ences to Nenana and neighboring districts were anything but fiatter ing. They told him that the rail- road work had shut down and that practically everyone had fled from the Interior. And he was very agreeably surprised when he stepped from the train last night, upon ar rival from the end of steel, to find the town looking very much as usual. In fact, he says. it looked awfully good to him, and he is firm in the belief that better times are coming for the whole Interior coun- try.
 Ball had the flu shortly before he started North He first discov- cred that he was i'll in Sacramento. where doctor told him what was the matter with him. But he did not stay long in the capital city. soon afterwards started North. be- fore he had recovered. He was still somewhat under the weather when he reached Portland. Dutch
 Blankfield escorted him North as
 nurse, but left the steamer at Cor
 dova, to come in with a shipment
 of eggs by way of the Chitina trail
 while Ball continued to Seward and
 mushed in by way of Broad Pass.
 Some work is in progress on the
 Anchorage end of the Governmen,

 end Of steel, working slowly north and beyond the end of steel sev,
 eral large mps are being pre- pared for tre commencement oi spring work. The size of the camp: indicated to him that work is to be prosecuted on very large scale a, soon as conditions will permit. MT. and Mrs. John A.. Davis came North on the steamer which brought Ball, but he was ahead of them il l leaving Anchorage. He says the! may reach the canyon today, witt ; Billy Butler, who made a specia trip to Talkeetna to meet them They were to use two teams as fal as the summit, and complete tn, : journey with the Butler team.

IRA BALL COMES BACK ID NENANA
 SICK OF STATES

Why, I'd rather be an old spruce tree out there on the trail than a banker in some of the towns I visited in the States" declared Ira Ball to a representative of The News last night, shortly after his arrival in town from the Outside, where he spent the winter rambling over the country, sizing up condi- tions. and enjoying himself gener- ally Ball doesn't know what it is, but there is something about the life in Alaska that has an irresisti- ble appeal to him, just as it has for most of the oldtimers who ven ture to the States.
 Ball viewed Outside conditions from every angle. He met oldtime acquaintances in nearly every sec tion of the country visited by him, from Seattle to Arkansas, and he was able to obtain first-hand in- formation that gave him a real in- ! sight into conditions. He even worked at his trade a day or two now and then, just to "prove up' on information obtained otherwise. The result of it all is that he is back in Nenana determined to stay with the country. Things may be little slow in Alaska now, he ad- mits, but even at that, business in this country seems to be on firmer basis than it is in many parts of the Outside. Conditions in the States are very unsettled and he saw many elaborate establishments in large cities laboring hard to keep their heads above water, in spite of the fact that prices everywhere Out side are very high.
 In speaking of prices. Mir. Ball says it appeared to him as if the businessmen in the States had form. ed combine. Wherever he went he found staples quoted at the sams prices. There was no competitive bidding for trade that he could dis. cover, and some of the prices made him long for the Northland.
 Wages are way up in all section, of the country, even in the South where commonl labor receives 2 wage of $5 a day Mechanics o1 all kinds get top wages, ranging from ST a day upward, and there appears to be plenty of work. That sounds big, Ball admits, but he say; the workers who receive the big wages do not appear to be any bet ter off than they were years ago when average wages ranged fron s2.75 to s1 day. And they worI only eight hours now.
 1 Prices are very high in the boon towns of Texas and the service on. gets there is very poor. This i
 especially true of the hotels-i, fact, he says, the small town hote
