and assisted large number OF
North Yakima people toward having

in spirit. 1t was stated for them that
they put on some dignity when they
arrived here, recognizing this to be
stad and reserved city, but that
further down the valley. in some of
the smaller towns they had acted
like the village cut-up and shown
their joy at the freedom from the
cares of the bank the office and the
mercantile house or foundry. This
statement might have been true
Here they were dignfled enough to
suit the most fastidious but they
We're bubbine over with fun and
spirits and they manifested their en-

to the day and occasion. was re-
ce'ved with much enthusiasm and
was followed by crowd sufficiently
large to have been Gathering. 1t may
vsrtisins - seattle potlatch. which
were distributed by the visitors, were
found to be as attractive and entic
ing as their music. At any rate
though the awards We're small in
their character they were appreciated
and, it is but fair to say, were an
additional attraction to the music.

of a Torpensh man. The copy

IN order and the result of the day
was splendid and better under
