The Human Appetite,

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 subsection, is always
desirable information. One place that
is conceded as perfectly adapted t.
this, is the Palace Restaurants just
opposite the Page building, on Com
mercial street, in this city. Try I
once, and patronize it always; that is
the rule of the Palace.

to the sum appropriated by the county
court was sufficient TO build a modern

road was practically completed. Mr..
Wood states that after next Monday,
Elk Creek will be connected with
Astoria by a telephone line, the build
