Robert Montgomery came TO the
screen OF the Capitol Theatre We'd

Hundreds Of Tribesmen Plan
Annual Pageant

Nespelem's biggest Indian celebra-
tion and rodeo. and one of the most
elaborate ever presented in the
history of the state, will be staged
here during the week of the Fourth
of July.
The Indian celebration will be
neld July 4 to 10, coming to q climax
on July 4, and the rodeo is sche-
duled for three days, July S, g and
Z.
Bill Condor, one. Of the best
known rodeo managers in the
Northwest, will have MANAGEMENT of
the affair and he promises one OF
the best shows he has ever attemp-
ted.
Nespelem has one OF the most
beautiful rodeo amphitheatNs In
the West. 1t is natural setting on
the banks of the Nespelem river.
with the flat on one side serving Is
grandstand and parking space.
VIII Pump Water
Water will be pumped on the
grounds from the river and there
will be no dust to annoy the aud
fence or interfere with the view OF
the show. New chuteS and corrals
will be constructed.
Included in the rodeo program
will be bucking contests, bull dog
glng competition, calf roping, wild
horse rides and other spectacular
features.
The Indian celebration Is being
planned on larger scale than ever
before and hundreds OF tribesmen
from the surrounding district will
erect their teepees at the grounds.
Because the combined rodeo and
Indian gathering has become an
annual celebration and has gained
attention in past years over the en-
tire Northwest, the crowds this year
are expected to surpass former
years records.
