OLDTIMER BACK IN NENANA
FROM TRIP TO CALIFORNIA
Albert Fortier, one of the most'
widely known oldtimers in Interior
Alaska, returned to N'enana 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 at
Vernalis. a small place south of
Stockton, in the midst of a farming
community. He visited with M. A.
Schaeffer, former member of the A.
E. C. office force in Xenana. who
now has a general store at Vernalis.
He is associated in the business with
his brother-in-law. Mr. Kellen, also
a former resident of Xenana. and
both of them would rather be back
in the Xorth. 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 Ar.geles. and the sacred
preserves of Mack Sennett. Preserves
is the right word for it. Albert says.
The oldtimer saw B1! McPhee in
San Francisco and was informed by
him that his eye operation had turn
ed out successfully. He also ran
across Bill Leggett, another sour
dough. at San Leandro, and says
he found him itching to get back ir.
the hills on a prospecting trip. He
may actually return for the sum
mer. although he has plenty of
money as it is. He invested his first
stake in good property and has a
steady income coming in from it.
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 in- Alaska a year ago. but did
not visit the Interior.
Fortier 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,
i Conditions are good in Southern
California. Fortier says. There is a
lot of Eastern money in circulation
and local products find ready sale
j 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 oldrimer as being the worst
' off of all the cities visited by him.
He says he could have given away
a small fortune there to men who
said they were .hard up.
Prohibition appears to have boost
ed the price of booze. Fortier says,
and made it difficult :o 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.
Fred B. Stanley, who went from
Xenana to manage the Frisco Cafe
for William Rodigkeit, is now lo
cated in Seward, where he has taken
over the Cameron Cafe. Seward now
has four good eating places.
William Rodigkeit is now sole
owner of the Frisco Cafe, in An
chorage. having recently acquired
the interest of his partner in the
business.
Kav McDonald, of the Harmony
theater in Anchorage, will instal a
pipe organ in his playhouse shortly,
the instrument having arrived at
Anchorage on the Admiral Evans a
few days ago.
Mrs. Corning, wife of the master
of the A. E. C. power boat Mata
nuska, is seriously ill at the hospital,
having been brought in from one
of the camps south of town this
week.
