The Pickens Bros. Co.'S. store was a
Mecca for the devotees of fashion
Tuesday, the occasion being the an
nual spring millinery opening. In
accordance with the custom of this
popular establishment the front store
windows were beautifully decorated,
giving an intimation of the bewilder-
/ ing scene of beauty within, both on the
lowe" floor and the millinery parlor,
where creative genius was seen at it's
very best. To attempt to give de-
scription of the striking patterns shown
would well nigh be an impossible task
for never before has such large stock
been brought here, or more patterns of
striking and attractive designs. Many
OF the hats were genuine Partisan i'm

the Partisan is no longer the exclusive
and much'to- be desired thing as in
former years American milliners are
creating patterns and designs that are
steadily superseding in popular favor

ing for q release of the lease held
by the city on the northeast quarter
of the northeast quarter of section
16, 56-17, which lease was originally
obtained by the city tor the use of

pany to enter into a new lease of
she premises d+scribed direct with
the owuers of the tract, the North.
western Improvement Company,
it being explained to the council
that such q renewal had been
agreed upon which gave the lum-
Der company greater ieeway in the

Mr.. Gillette, in a brief address to
the council stated the lumber CON-
pany had in view contemplated inn
pEovemeots to their local plant
which would require an outlay the
coming fall and winter Of between
$4,000 and 100000. and that an
