’98 DANCE WAS
A BIG SUCCESS
Old Times and Sports Recalled at
Ragle Hall Saturday Nlglit when
Valdez was Guest of Aerie.
The big crowd who attended the
Eagles’ Old-Time dance at Eagle hall
last Saturday evening were loath to
quit even when the clocks announced
that Sunday morning had arrived:
The dance was a success in every way
both financially and socially, as all
dances given by the Valdez Aerie are.
The purchasers of tickets were each
given a stack of currency to play the
games and try their luck at faro, rou
lette, black jack or craps. One did
not require to be an old-timer to pick
those who had played the games in
the early days of the camp from the
way they played the games Saturday.
The new-comers would cautiously
place small wagers on the table while
the old timers were demanding that
the ceiling be raised in order that they
might stack their currency on the
tables.
It is safe to say there were few old
timers who failed to attend and as
dancing was kept up while the games
were running, plenty of amusement ‘
was afforded all.

kept up to a high standard this year
and anticipate a heavy travel during

and were arrested while plotting to
dynamite the railroads.
It is reported that the conspiracy
was widespread and that its members
had been successful in destroying sev
eral munition trains and otherwise
hampering the military operations by
supplying the Allies with information
regarding the movements of the
troops.
More than fifty of the conspirators
have been arrested, ten of whom
were convicted, including Miss Edith
Cavill, the English woman, and all
were executed. Emperor William

LIGHT BATTLES WITH
DARKNESS IN HEAVENS.
The powers of Light and Darkness
battled for supremacy in the sky last
night when the Northern Lights
flashed their brilliance across the
heavens. The battle, which lasted for
several hours, began by-" a wedge of
light being shot into the heavens
from the northern horizon. The pow
er of darkness quickly rallied its
scattered forces and the generals be
gan moving their armies with light
ning rapidity, sending out advance
guards to suddenly withdraw them to
concentrate their force against the
power of darkness which threatened
the line. Isolated forces, too distant
to rejoin the main forces, were swal
lowed up and lost.
Reinforcements for light appeared
and its lines were extended across the
domain of darkness in an unbroken
line from the point of invasion to the
west, where the sun had set a few
hours before. After the battle had
raged for hours the power of light
flashed victory in the colors of the
rainbow, but its triumph was short
duration, as the enemy suddenly
appeared in its midst and soon the
stars only remained as sentinels of
the battleground.
Hallowe'en was observed by the
younger people of Valdez by playing
the usual stunts of marking the win
dows with soap, taking the gates from
their hinges and tapping on doors.
No serious damage resulting from the
pranks has befen reported.
A number of hunters who went aft
er birds and rabbits yesterday report
but little success as they failed to lo
cate the game.
The local office of the Signal Corps
has bulletined the steamer Admiral
Farragut, returning from her trip to
Kodiak, as being due to arrive in
Seward at noon today, and she will
reach Valdez sometime about two in
the morning. It is reported that the
passenger accommodations have been
sold out to the westward and that a
number of passengers must await an
other steamer before securing accom
modation.
The launch Elvira returned to Val
dez this afternoon from Ellamar,
brlnv’ng a number of passengers.
