Dry Goods and Furnishing Stores to
 Be Open All Day Today.

This year sees the inauguration of a new custom. All the dry goods and furnishing skores of the city will be open all day Friday before Easter. The change is made in the belief that 1t will be of benefit to the shopping pub lie. Putting off all the Easter shop ping till the very day before means doing many things in a. rush and doing them unsatisfactorily. The opening of the stores today gives abundance of time to everybody to do their Easter shopping leisurely, and all the local merchants are satisfied that the public will appreciate the convenience.

DETROIT, Mitch, June s.-The centenary

section of the United States.
Editors and public men from many parts
of the state, with hundreds of citizens OF
Detroit, attended the centenary exercises,
Melville E. Stone, general manager of the
Associated Press, made the principal ad-
dress. Among the other speakers were

man and HIN lines. it is announced.
An agreement has been reached between

Paul will use the Hill lines in several
places and also in accordance of an agree
ment al sale of several stretches of track
by the Hill Inns TO the Milwaukee.
The Milwaukee might rave gone into
the new territory and secured an immense
account of business by cutting the rates,
but that no such purpose exists on the part
Of the Milwaukee seems certain, and 1t
now looks as though the Milwaukee was
to maintain friendly relations with the
Hill and Hartman lines. The land the
Northern Pacific sold TO the Milwaukee to
complete its right of way, included some
at Tacoma as well as at some interior
points The Milwaukee closely p~arellels the
Northern Pacific, and only recently the
Hartman lines reached an understanding
with the Hi lines Jointly to use the
Northern Pacific tracks from Portland to
Tacoma. These agreements are bringing all
interested lines into closer harmony con-
corning the northwest situation.
