W.A. Pierce, wife and daughter Ruth, were Inchelium visitors Saturday and report that they arrived there just in time to get rakes and get busy, as it was "clean up day" in that town. The crowning event of the day was the skookum dinner or pot-latch which was served out of doors in genuine picnic style.
