The word "Potlatch" is from the
Chinook Jargon, the trade language of
the North Pacific Coast Indians. It
means a gift or to give. In a larger
sense the Indians applied it to a great
festival at which gifts were made.
Seattle's Golden Potlatch will be
a great festival in celebration of the gift
of gold by Alaska to the world through
this City, the gateway of the Northern
Empire. It will be a week of carnival
and jollity. The opening date, July 17,
is the anniversary of the arrival of
the first treasure ship.
