Isere Birthday Prank Ends With Jail and Laughter
In a wild April Fools prank at West Granite Street, Jack Leggat’s birthday party spirals into chaos as a straw bonfire and a false fire alarm pull lead to Harry Tuttle’s arrest by Chief Sanger. The plan backfires, guests bail him out, and Leggat claims the laugh while Tuttle vows to repeat the ruse. Fire and police later join the merriment as the night ends with chromo seltzer gifts and cheeky boasts.

Railroads plan to replace Chinese Japanese labor with foreigners
Indignation by farmers and unionists over labor practices prompts Northern Pacific and Great Northern to discharge Chinese and Japanese workers. Telegrams seek 2000 Italians and many Scandinavians for the two railroads. Victoria, Vancouver and Eastern railroad may abandon project due to British Columbia demands on labor, taxes, and rates. Also notes a Transcontinental Passenger Association junket to Hotel del Monte and political maneuvering around railroad stock controls and through traffic rates.

Stanton Opera Company Delivers Mixed Fra Diavolo
Review lauds the Stanton Opera Company's Fra Diavolo with strong chorus and notable acting by Hallam and Wisdom but criticizes the weak bass and baritone depth. The Grand Opera House orchestra is faulted for poor balance, while the company plans The Miscotls with souvenirs distributed at the Sutton's venue.
