SOU RDO UGH DAYS ARE
 REPRODUCED IN SEATTLE

The Arctic Club of Seattle held it's annual sourdough dinner last Satur- day evening, when caribou meat and other Alaskan products formed a greater portion of the menu. Three hundred guests were present. and good fellowship reigned supreme.
 Following the dinner the annual celebration was held, when the gamb- ling and dancehall days of the nortn were reproduced. Many of the old time gamblers were manipulating the games with the same old players on the outside of the tables.
 Hundreds of persons who had never seen the northern camps during the early days when gambling games were run wide open, attended the affair to see if the reproduction compared with the stories they had heard of the north.
 A wireless instrument had been in stalled on the roof of the Arctic Club building, and during the evening mes sages were received from Governor Strong and other Alaskans, who re- gretted they were unable to be present.
