PROGRESS WITH WORK.

4. II Curtis and City Surveyor Tee
are busy investigating the slides be-
tween 39th and 33rd streets. They
have examined the lakes near the
China gardens and surveyed several
routes for carrying off the water Al
though no report has been made ana
no intimation Of the conclusions ar

streets will have 70 be improved from
the waterfront a. far south as Lexins-
ton avenue on the summit Of the hill,
or two or three systems Of drains will
have 10 be put in to drain off the
water. Investigation shows that the
water from the lakes between Jerome
and Lexington avenue are responsible
for III recent slides, and il this cause
can be removed the slides will cease.
II Is further cou;cnded that by build
ing three streets for instance, 3oth,

GOVERNMENT TOO SLOW.
ON LAND CASES
WASHINGTON JUDGE DIS
CHARGES TWO DEFENDANTS
ON THIS ACCOUNT.

SPOKANE, May l3e-A Spokes-
man-Reyiew special from Moscow,
says that holding that the Govern
hlent had been given two years since
the indictment Of ]. B. West and /.
N. Smith. in connection with the
North Idaho land frauds, in which TO
prepare to prosecute the cases, Judge
Dietrich today disregarded the re-
quest Of United States Attorney Gen.
cral Wickersham for continuance
and discharged both men. When the
case was taken up in the Federal
Court today United States District
Attorney G. H. Lingenfelter Of Lewis
ton presented a telegram received
from Mr.. Wickersham, in which he
asked the continuance Of the cases
until such time as the appeals in the
Kester Kettenbach Dwyer-R Robnett
cases, now in the Court Of Appeals at
San Francisco, has been decided. Mr..
| Lingenfelter also made a statement
that at his request the Department Of
\ Justice had appointed a special prose-
cutor, Peyton Gordon, for these
cases.
! Judge J. II. Forney counsel for
Smith, fought the motion for cen
tinuance on the ground that the Gov
ernment had made no proper show
ing Of cause for such delay and say
ing that the effort was presumptive
and an attempt to dictate to the court
what it should do.
| Judge Dietrich then said that he
was not disposed to allow the Gov
ernment any more time and that he
would discharge both defendants.
/ s. S. Denning appeared as counse
for West. AT the time he was in
dicted Attorney West was register o
the land Office at Lewiston, Idaho
and Mr.. Smith, as an attorney, wa
charged with being intimately cor
nected with the Kester- -Kettenbacl

The Human Appetite.
train.

OF all the whimsical, shifting, unre-
liable, treacherous, exacting things N
the world, the human appetite for the
right thing to eat is, perhaps, the
most unreasonable and imperious.
There are those who humor it; 9th
ers who defy it; and all men are more
or less inclined to treat It with con-
sideration, To find a place where
these varying attitudes may be fos,
tered, at the least cost in each case
and yet keep the appetite in proper
and peaceful subjection, is always
desirable information. One place thai
is conceded as perfectly adapted t
this, is the Palace Restaurant jus
opposite the Page building, on Com
mercial street, in this city. Try
once, and patronize it always; that i
the rule Of the Palace.
