REVIVE PIONEER
 DAYS SATURDAY
Eagles Promise That There Will Be Nothing Lacking at Eagle Hall
 to Recall Early Days.

The committee appointed by the Eagles to arrange for the '98 dance to be given at Eagle Hall next Satur- day night is overlooking no feature which will serve to remind the old timers of their first and most vivid recollections of Alaska, when they were all trying to win a home.
 Owing to the court officials being absent from town the Eagles are go ing to put one over the like of which has never been seen by cheechacos and is only memory to the sour doughs. Stacks of currency have been printed and every purchaser of ticket will be presented with five hundred for one, and will have the opportunity of bucking the tiger with it's mouth wide open. The Eagles have accumulated a cord or two of currency and announce that the roof will be the limit for blackjack, rou- lette, craps, and that little game of draw may be indulged. There will be no rake-off and the Eagles prom ise that the games will be on the square.
 Everything will be nearly as possi- ble to the dance hall and gambling days of '9S when it was the custom of every winner to be seized with a generous mood and treat the house to the best. After each dance every body waltzed to the front and plac- ing one foot on the rail would ask the man behind the board to put a little squirt of lemon in it.
 The '98 dance of the Eagles is the event from which the sourdoughs re- cord the happenings of the year and it may have been noticed that many of them have been slipping into town during the past week. Newcomers will be given an opportunity of see- ing how Alaskans enjoyed themselves in the pioneer days of Valdez and will be afforded an opportunity of joining in the sport but they must remember that improper or boisterous conduct will not be tolerated by the Eagles.
Valdez daily prospector., 1915-10-28

Don't forget that the Eagles are going to turn loose Saturday evening next at Eagle Hall and will spring something which will make the chee- chacos sit up and take notice.

EMPRESS ID OPEN
 FRIDAY EVENING
Captain A. K. Iathrop's New Show House in Valdez is Finest The
 atre in Alaska.

The Empress theatre of Valdez will open it's doors to the public tomorrow night and it can be truthfully be said that Valdez now has the finest theatre in Alaska. It is owned by Capt. A. E. Lathrop, who owns chain of Elm press theatres at Cordova, Valdez, Seward, and will build at Anchorage as soon as electricity is available.
 The Empress theatre occupies the Blackwell building on Mckinley street whicL vas specially designed and built fer Capt. Lathrop by Chas. R. Crawford, the contractor. Every thing in the building is new and mod ern, including a new full upright grand piano.
 The theatre has seating capacity of three hundred on the main floor and a large box, for parties, will com fortably seat a dozen persons. The house is equipped with patent fold ing opera chairs, the kind that are used in all large amusement houses in the States.
 The operating room, located over the ticket office, is equipped with the latest machines and is absolutely fire proof. The new machines are so ar ranged that films cannot burn more than one inch even when set on fire. The room is lined with quarter-inch sheets of asbestos covered with heavy sheet steel. The openings from the room are so fitted that should fire break out in the room the audience would not be aware of the accident, as every vent would automatically close and an iron asbestos lined air shaft open to carry off the fumes. An extra picture machine has been pro- vided for an emergency. Films, when not in use, will be stored in steel safe.
 Particular attention has been paid to the decorations which are all hand work. The decorating was done by H. Conklin, of the firm of Conklin & Fitzgerald, who make speciality of theatre work. A beautiful arch with silk lined plush curstains adds fin- ishing touch and makes pleasing

 JURY DISAGBEES

Seattle, Nov. 17-After breaking a record of the King county su- perior court of several years stand ing, by remaining out twenty-siX hours in constant deliberations, the jury trying the case of former PatrOlman II.

TWENTY MEN
 ID RUSH WORK

Douglas, Nov. 11-superintendent NJ, S. Hudson of the Nevada Creek mine has received instructions from the packers of the company to rush development work at the mine and to start everything going full swing.
 Twenty men were sent out yester- day to augment the force of ten or twelve already there and drifting in the long tunnel that is to tap the ore body will be continued for SOO feet more and considerable out side work will be done to opan up the property.
 Another crew of men will be sent out next Saturday and will bring the men employed there up to about 40 and it is thought that work will be continued all winter.
 in driving the long tunnel there this fall some very promising ore was run into and this coupled with the other known values contained in the mine will no doubt prove to the interested parties that Nevada Greek will be o good producing mine.
 Since the reorganization of the company controlling the group of claims, was perfected there has been allotted ample funds for de- velopment work and work has only been delayed thus long to perfect some needed arrangements and there is every. reason to believe thas the mine will soon prove it's value and take Its rightful place among the other big lode mines in Southeastern Alaska,

N0N-TREAT LAW
 EFFECTS WOMEN


 London, Nov 4--The no-treating law now enforced in the London dis trict will from present indications greatly decrease drinking among women, for it is among the women of the lower classes that treating is the most prevalent. Even in the most poverty55trlcken slums of the East End, a woman who drinks by herself is considered mean, greedy and unsocial and Ehe ia accordingly ostracized. Tho only social life among these women Is at the public houses. At all times of the day, they may be seen around the bars or il the street in front with beer glasses in hand. Since the law prevents minors en- tering the barrooms, the women with babies in their arms stand out side for their drinks. But often children tend to the babies while the mothers and grand mothers are inside.
