Palace Has Pretty :
Spring Opening

Last Saturday was the day of the
ual spring opening at the Palace
and hundreds of ladies called
during the day and evening to
It the lovely garments and
G goods shown. In spite of the
unpleasant weather the store was
ed at all times during the open
ours and a good day would have
ant bigger gathering than the
.ore could accommodate. The inter-
lor of the store was prettily decorat-
ed in the spring colors, light refresh
ments were served at dainty table
bn the first floor and screened or
ehestra played throughout the after
noon and evening. The whole affair
was "a pretty ushering-in of spring
styles. Mrs. Gales assisted her hus-
band, C. F. Gales, the proprieto1 of
the store, in the reception of their
many guests.

Ivan Bowen and another member
of the State Railroad and Warehouse
Commission conducted a telephone
hearing at the opera house last Fri
day forenoon. There were about SO
citizens present at the hearing, which
was held for the purpose of giving
the company authority to raise their
rates. Testimony was taken from
the management of the company,
which will be taken under considera-
ton by the state commission and they
will make their decision within a few
weeks. AS there was no objection to
the raise from those present, it is
presumed the higher rates viii be
granted and put into effect soon.-
