CITY COUNCIL MAKES PLANS
FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF
THE STREETS.
Asphalt Plans Are Passed on-Others
Be Taken Up Tonight at Ad-
journed Meeting.

The members of the city council act
ing as committee of the whole put in
about two hours last night in consider
ing the specifications prepared by City
Engineer Wilson for paving. When an
adjournment was taken at 10 the Spec
ifications for asphalt, containing II
pages of printed matter had been read,
minor corrections made in several sec
tions and approved by the committee.
The committee then reported it's action
to the council and the report was
adopted. While there was a number of
the councilmen who were not fully sat
isfied with the specifications it was
demonstrated that there was no in
clination to make very strong objec-
tions, but all seemed willing to have
the specifications adopted as rapidly
as possible in order that the work of
improving the streets could be carried
out without delay,
An adjournment was taken until
this afternoon, but there was not
enough councilmen present for a quo
rum. Another meeting will probably
be held tonight at 7:30

BANKS OF MORMON
SLOUGH.
Hundreds of Men, Women and Chill
dren Now Digging for Gold-Cld
Mexican Settlement.

STOCKTON, Cal, March 30.-Stock-
ton has a geneuine gold excitement.
Four hundred men, women and chill
dren are placer mining on the bank of
Mormon slough in this city. From
$500 to $1,000 worth of coarse gold has
already been taken out in a small de-
posit of gravel. Many believe that the
gold was lost or buried by Mexicans
in early days, as the find is on the
site of a former Mexican settlement.
Excitement is high. Many old miners
are stalking claims along the slough
between this city and Belota.

RAMSEY HAS FILED REPORT
1T is BELIEVED THAT BAKER
AND LINDSLEY WILL BE
ExONERATED.
Senators Piles and Ankeny Have Dis
cussed the Subject With Attor-
ney General Moody.

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The
Washington senators saw the attorney
general yesterday and went over the
report of Special Agent Ramsey on
Baker and Lindsey, applicants for
marshal and attorney of the new ju-
dicial district of eastern Washington.
The senators and the attorney general
refuse to give any inkling of the con-
tents of the report or to intimate
whether Baker or Lindsey or either
will be appointed. The senators will
confer again with Moody on Monday,
and evidently expect to dispose of botn
cases then, as the senators count on
leaving for home next week. 1t looks
as if the report favors both Baker and
Lindsey.

CARRIE SMITH WOULD SEEK
FREEDOM FROM HER HUS.
BAND E.. n. SMITH,
-
Alleges Drunkenness, Cruel Treatment
on Part Of Husband-Six Children
Depending Upon Her.

The old story of drunken husband,
cruel treatment and band of little
ones depending up the mothers efforts
for support was rehearsed today in
Smith against E. H. Smith in the su-
periOr court. The Smiths are well
known residents of Waitsburg. Smith
at one time clerked in the dry goods
store of Smith & Fitzgerald in this
city.
In her complaint Mrs. Smith states
that as result of the union she has
six little ones depending upon her for
support. The eldest child is II years
of age and the youngest a babe in
arms. The couple were married in
Walla Walla in 1892. Mrs Smith asks
for the custody of the children, the
5000 worth of household furniture
they own, a permanent alimony of $40
a month and attorneys fees of 500.
Mrs. Smith is represented by Attor-
ney Richard Ormsbee of Waitsburg,
Garrecht & Dunphy appeared for
Smith.
Smith filed an affidavit that he was
unable to pay alimony of $50 month
but that he could pay SIS. On this
showing Judge Brents entered an
order requiring him to pay SIS month
pending a settlement of the suit.
Reavis VS.. Perry Suit Settled.
The suit of L. J. Reavis and wife
against A. F. Perry was dismissed to-
day upon petition of the plaintiff the
case being settled out of court by Mr.
Perry paying over to the plaintiffs the
sum of s435 in settlement of all claims.
The suit originated over the sale OF
some farm land, Perry giving a clear
warranty deed to the property when
in fact it was encountered by rail-
road right of way.
