50URDOUCH RETURNS
 FROM EASTERN TRIP

Lee Pate, one of the few real old timers of the country, left for his home at Fort Yukon, on the Yukon river, yesterday morning after spend ing few months in the states under going medical and surgical treatment. MT. Pate left the north last July for the Mayo institute at Rochester, but was compelled to abandon his trip at Helena, Montana, being to ill to pro- ceed farther. He was operated on by Helena surgeons, which proved sue cessful, and he was enabled to return to the North much improved in health.
 During his trip Outside MT. Pate witnessed many things strange to him. Flying machines, improved electrical devices, electrical street cars, and all other advancements which have been made in the past thirty-five years. this being the time since he was Outside. Owing to his condition he was unable
  tage of his idle time before returning to the north.
 In giving his opinion of the great Outside, MT. Pate stated that it was no place for a person who has spent the past thirty-ive years in the re- motest sections of the North. Things move too swiftly, and I got back to Alaska as soon as was able to t~av- el," is the sum and substance of his appreciation of the Outside. Street cars and autos are far different than polling boats and dog teams when it comes to speed and lodging them keeps person busy" While enjoying his leisure hours in the states he looked forward to his return to his home in the Interior.
