OLDTIMER BACK IN NENANA
 FROM TRIP TO CALIFORNIA

Albert Fortier, one of the most widely known oldtimers in Interior Alaska, returned to Nenana on a recent train. having come back to Alaska after an absence of about a year in California. He likes the winters in the Poppy state, but IS always ready to hurry back to the Northland in the spring, to escape California's tropical summer climate.
 During his stay in the States the oldtimer spent several weeks al Eernalis. a small place south of Stockton, in the midst Of a farming community He visited with NJ. A. Schaeffer, former member of the i. E. C. office force in Nenana, who now has a general store at Nernals. He is associated in the business win his brother-in-law. Mr. kellen, also a former resident of Nenana, and both of them would rather be back in the North. In fact, Kellen is try ing to dispose of his interest in the business so that he can return.
 Fortier also spent considerable time in Pasadena, where he has relatives, and from there he made short trips to all of the neighboring cities and beaches. taking in the sights of Los Angeles, and the sacred preserves of Mack Sennet.. Preserves is the right word for it. Albert says.
 The oldtimer saw Bill McPhee in San Francisco and was informed by him that his eye operation had turn cd out successfully. He also ran across Bill Leggett, another sour dough, at San Leandro. and says he found him itching to get back 1T the hills on a prospecting trip. He may actually return for the sum mer. although he has plenty Of money as 1t is He invested his first stake in good property and has steady income coming in from t.
 H. Hamilton Hart, another early day mining man who went out with a fortune, may also come back this year to look up his old friends who have stayed with the country. He was ine Alaska a year ago, but did not visit the Interior.
 Fou.ier says Woodbury Abbey is coming in from the coast soon. He was to have left Juneau about the end of May. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Abbey this year.
 Conditions are good in Southern California. Fortier says. There is lot of Eastern money in circulation and local products find ready sale at good prices. San Francisco does not appear to be quite so prosper ous, but there will be big crops in that section of the state this year and the late summer should find the farmers prosperous. Seattle impress ed the old-imer as being the worst of Of all the cities visited by him. He says he could have given away a small fortune there 10 men who said they were hard up.
 Prohibition appears to have boost ed the price of booze, Fortier says, and made it difficult to find genuine bonded goods. Everybody is doing it" out there, it seemed to him and some of them are turning out a fair ly good grade of liquor, age con- sidered. They sell it for three dol lars a quart in many places outside the cities.
