JUNEAU DONS JOY
 RAGS FOR CARNIVAL

luus mo CdIulNi oplllI Wda every where in evidence - something doing all the time. Everybody was busy, not dull moment during the evening and so 1t will be every night until the close of the great show.
 The large auditorium has been con verted into country fair with Streets of Cairo" attachment that is certainly allurlng to one seeking ex. citement. There is music galore, mu. sic and dancing, popcorn and lemon ade, cigars that may be won by the gentle and accurate twist of the wrist, safety pins rag babies and rubber balloons, jack knives and canes, any. thing and everything needed or want ed by anyone-and along with 1t all every purchaser gets whole lot of fun that does not cost a cent.
 The large auditorium is divided in. to booths along the outer walls, most of which have been taken by enter prising business houses who are us- ing the allotted space for advertising purposes, others are in charge of Elks who are taking the money like road agents.
 Immediately on approaching the main entrance one is met by gentle. manly Mir. Lucas, of the B. NJ. Beh rends bank, who takes the money like an experienced circus ticket seller. A sharp turn to the left brings one face to face with Mr. Leafgreen, manager of the clothing department in Gold steln's who is now selling popcorn and paper napkins for 25 cents apiece if he can get 1t. A furtlve glance to the left and Leon Fireman and Guy Nc. Naughton are seen busy spelling for the dance hall that is arranged in the center of the building. Here for 10 cents you can dance the turkey trot or the tango to your hearts content, or float through dreamy waltz to the rythmic measures furnished by Prof. John Sumprs excellent orches- tra.
 Just as one is about to pass the next corner he catches or is caught by the baritone of Field Marshal H. A. Bishop and invited to try his luck at pitching rings for walking sticks at 3 for 10. You finally escape from Bishops bunko game only to fall in the clutches of Bill Garster who has the nigger baby show and you can't side-step-it only costs you 10 cents for three chances and they look so big you can't miss 'em, but they don't furnish "a license to smoke the goods.
 Dorans' Drug store has a beautiful booth presided over by Mrs. Milton Vim, and adjoining 1t is the splen- dIdly appointed combination booth of the Juneau Furniture Company and the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, presided over by Miss Mere. dlth Hamilton.
 Adjoining the foregoing are two elegantly decorated boOths-that of the Alaska Supply Company display ing heaters and the Goldstein Clothing booth. The Armour Company's booth comes next and it too is well done and alongside of it is the booth of F. Vol: land who is advertising gentlemen's home made clothes, Next to Wolland is the booth of the Capital Candy Kitchen and it is full of sweet things. Next to the Candy Kitchen is the vot- ing booth where the sweetest baby in Juneau is being voted for.
 The traveller has reached the sec ond corner of the great hall by this time and instinctively turns around to the right when he is immediately seized in the clutches of another bunk game presided over by George Simp- kins and Joe Snow. Here all you have to do is throw a ring over pocket knife sticking in the raised floor and the knife is yours-it costs ten cents for three chances. Joe and George are taking in some coin.
 In the center of the room on the outer end wall Mrs. Evelyn Cleotta has on display lot of goods that go to waist usually-her celebrated line of corsets.
 Just across the aisle again one sees Harry Brunn of the B. M. Behrends company taking in money for fishing tackle and the privilege of the only fishing pond on the premises,
 If you get away from the fish pond and nave any money left Ike sowerby will sell you chewing gum or tin horns for what you have left.
 Down on the northwest corner Of the building Henry Smith, of the c. w. Young company is getting easy money on shooting range proposition Henry has a lot of iron crosses and medals for the best shots that are made on his range.
 Bill Merchant has quit selling auto mobiles for the time being and is running a roulette wheel right next to Smiths shooting range-BIl will take any kind of money one offers
