Blast, to bs Reproduced.
Tlic" committee in charge of
“Ye Old Tiriife Dance,” to be giv
en at Ea£16 hall by the local or
der of Eagles on Act. 31, have
been working hard and assure
the public a good time.
The committee plan to have
the old days of Valdez reproduc
ed. Th6 dance hall and the bar
room, the gambling hell, as in
the wide open days, will be re
produced with all the sport and
none of its vulgarity. Roulette,
faro, craps and the other popu
lar games of days gone by will
be in full blast and each pur
chaser of a ticket will receive $1,
000 in phony currency, with
which to pay the bets they may
decide to make.
The limit will be oil’ and it is
safe to predict that Eagle, hall
will be crowded with those jvho
remember with keen enjoyment
the days of the percentage check,
or those who have heard tell of
those days but have never exper
ienced them.
