“Skookum Potlatch Which means “big doings.” And that’s the watchword for Seattle this week Yes, we all know that today marks the beginning of the Potlatch festivities. But it's up to us to see that we do OUR share to make the week the biggest kind of a big success First of all, visitors to Seattle must be made to feel that ; le here are just a little more cordial and friendly than those > Of any other city they have “struck.” If clerks and business men ‘ waitresses and street car conductors and policemen and- ia short, if all with whom the visitors come in contact are polite and obliging, you've really no idea what an impression Seattle will poke, and how the fame of treatment received here will Preparations for the Potlatch celebration seem to be very elaborate and complete to the smallest detail.

The navy department did better than it promised. Several boats were scheduled to come here for Potlatch week. jut in addition to those cute little weapons of destruction, the ‘ruisers Colorado and West Virginia, the gunboat Concord and monitor Cheyenne will bedeck the harbor.

They n't fall off the island and so they live and play wherever they They can find food anywhere and don't need shelter. Their cloth pws on the bushes. There are no beasts or snakes to harm them. You just take what the stork brings and put it - You'd think this would kill the Uap's emotion of parental , but it doesn’t. If the Uap hasn't his own children in the he’s sure to have somebody else's and so he comes to look on all children as his and he loves them and never treats them THE STAR—MONDAY, JULY 17, 1011.
