of the festival
General Chairman Oscar C. Turner
stated last night that he had called a
meeting of the executive committee OF
the Chamber of Commerce potlatch
committee for 10 o'clock this morning

or not the expenses of the potlatch
festival could not be held to $4,000,
so that every dollar over that amount
could go to the flood sufferers. As
the teams now at work have $4,000
buttons to SELL this would give $4,000
to the flood sufferers from Birming-
ham, or in other words Birmingham

latch festival money to help the suf-
fering hundreds in the flood districts
whose homes and loved ones are gone

last three or four years were almost start
ling in their significance. The lecture

being held at the same hour in the Nor
sis hotel, there were about rs prominent
men present, every one of whom listened
With great deal Of interest to the brief
