EARL GRAY FINDS LOST MEDAL FOR
 MRS. E. BATES

During the performance last night, at the Dream Theatre, given by Earl Gray. clairvoyant and mind reader, questions in sealed envelopes were asked Of MT Gray to be answered without his opening the envelopes. Mrs Elizabeth Bates, who lost a sil- yer medal about a month ago on the night of the Firemen's ball and who advertised thru the columns of this paper for the same, was in the audi ence and among the others asked where her medal was, and Mir. Gray told her that man had it, named him, and said that he would help her to re- cover it.
 An interesting sequel to the above happened this morning when the chief of police brought in the medal to the newspaper office saying that it had been handed in to him to be returned. No name was mentioned but it is understood that it is the same person Mir Gray spoke of last evening as having it in his possession.
 Many other interesting questions were answered last evening, among them the much-discussed halibut bill, which MT. Gray said last evening would go thru sometime the latter part of this week

QUEER CONDITION
 REVEALED IN ITALY
Must Go Back to the Time They Used to Wear Wooden Shoes

ROME, Feb. 28.-An investigation of the shoe industry has revealed that the retail stores have been flooded with footwear made of vanished cloth paper soIes and disposed to women and childrena varying prices from s to $10.
 One dissatisfied customer lodged d complaint of fraud against the seller of shoes whereupon the association of shoe dealers voted to close up their shops and not sell any more cloth and paper until the public had digested their wrath.
 The newspaper comment has been to the effect that, since sole leather is lacking for the making of sandals o' the old Roman type, the public must either wear old shoes bought before the war. and made of real leather, or else, return to the wooden shoe of the peasant until such time as the shoe dealers lower their prices for real leather.

They will see a lot of them, because all of the public telephone booths will be fashioned to represent the little red building for sprouting ideas. Red school houses will be found at every street corner, and min atures will hang from the wires at street intersections. They will be il- luminated at night.
 Portland is expected tob reak all re- cords in the matter of decorations for the convention The streets will fly the colors of the teachers while the big buildings of the business district will all be dressed up for the occas- ion

PIONEER DAYS
 RECALLED LAST
 SATURDAY NIGHT
KeenO, Black Jack and The Roulette Wheel in Full
 Play During Dances

Red Mems Hall last Saturday even- ing was the old Dance Hall of the days of '9S when gambling of all kinds, drinking and dancing were the order of the day. The hall was pasted with appropriate signs reminding one of the old days when dollars were as pennies are today. Dances were $50 apiece, and drinks $1OO. Thousands were placed on the roulette wheel. each time the little white ivory ball spun around to decide the fate of the participants and Keeno was $1OO a game
 An old time bar, was ranged along one end of the hall and the Dance hall belles lured their partners as of old into purchasing for them the drinks of punch provided instead of the stronger drinks used in the old days. A large crowd was drawn to the stage, where the gambling went on with the paper bills of $100, $500 and 5000. denominations and it was with some difficulty that they tore them selves away from the fascinating pas times to enjoy the music, and dancing also provided for their merriment.
 The Arctic Brotherhood, which was the first lodge or clan formed in the north in the early days and the only truly Alaskan lodge, certainly pictured to their guests last Saturday evening the true spirit of the days of '9S.
