RE0PENING OF THE PALACE
This HOsteiry Will BE Opened To-
morrow at Noon by the Former
Manager, MIR. =. Is. Shelby.

In response to popular demand of the
people of Santa Fe, who have come to
realize that the closing of the Palace hotel
has been great detriment to the city, Mr..
Shelby will reopen this hosteiry tomor.
row at noon for the entertainment of
guests. Whether it will continue in op-
Grafton for any great length of time, will
depend entirely upon the patronage ten
dered Mr.. Shelby in this very worthy eff
fort, by the people of this city. They
have DOW an opportunity to fully dem.
onstrate their desires in this matter. In
other words they will be given chance
to "practice what they preach"
Should the town people accord this es-
Enlistment liberal patronage, it, taken
together with the tourist travel which is
sure to come, to greater or less extent,
will constitute business sufficient to
keep the place on its feet. On the other
hand should this home patronage be
withheld, the hotel cannot long continue
in operation, for it is easy enough to
demonstrate that the outside custom is

the maintenance of such an establish
ment as the Palace.
If the people want first class hotel,
now is their opportunity. If they do not,
then the fact must go out to the world
that Santa Fe is not of sufficient import
ance to support a hostelry in first-class
style, and that the glories of the ancient
capital are fading fast. One thing ia
clear, Santa Fe must have q hotel, that
will cater to tourist travel-a class of
patronage that ought TO, and under bet.
ter conditions would, yield profitable re-
turns for the city. If Santa Fe proposes
to cater to this tourist trade, the Palace
hotel is an absolute necessity. Such an
establishment Is now within the reach Of
the people.
In reopening the Palace, Mr.. Shelby de
sires to say that the rates will be reason
able, and that no efforts will be spared ir
making patrons comfortable. A feature
of the management will be the specia
Sunday dinners, so popular at one time
with the home people.
