&OANE TO HAVE
SUMMER FESTIVAL

Spokane, WASH. March 6-An
important link in the chain of
Pacific northwest festivals will be
added this summer in Spokane,
when residents of the surrounding
country will be united in giving a
carnival on scale equal to that of
the Portland Rose Festival, Seat.
tie, Potlatch and Pendleton Round
up.
One Of the principal features
announced by a committee of SO
business men will be an athletic
tournament, patterned after the
o mpic games, in which
athletics in all parts of NJrth
America will be eligible to com.
pete for valuable prizes. The
carnival will hark back to western
pioneer days, too. with tourna-
ment of volunteer fire departments,
of which there are scores in the
towns of the Spokane country.
Though no name has been select
ed yet, the event will be known
as playtime in the Inland Empire
of the Pacific northwest. In order
that the tens of thousands of
farmers may participate, the week
beginning June l6 has been select
ed, following the spring planting
and preceding harvest.
Business men of Spokane already
have contributed $4,000 to a
fund for this years carnival and
twice that sum will be- raised
during the next 60 days. Charles
Hehberd, president of the chamber
of Commerce, states that the car
nival will ibe one of a series of
Pacific northwest events that
serve to effect close cooperation
between communities, adding:
tWe want to make this section
thrRummer playground of America,
juN as the south is the winter
playground. With our carnivals
we Gun accomplish at least two
things-first. we can make the
visit of persons from the east more
enjoyable: and second, we can
unite the people of our own
country in close bond of unity"
