Telephone To Cathlamet
A local company has been tormea
th ouroose of running a tele
phone line from Clifton to Cathlamet,
and in all probability tne line wm uC
in operation by May 15, or very soon
.w.aftr All that is requisite is to
lay a cable across the river-or that
at least is the main work to De oonc.
The line will extend from Clifton to
Cathlamet and Skamokawa, and it
will fill a want that has been earnest
ly felt for a long time. These towns
have been practically shut on nw.
the rest of the world, and at the same
time it should mean not a littie o
the merchants and residents of this
city. Heretofore much of the trade of
those two Washington towns na .
turally gone to Portland, as the com
munication to that city was wtu.7

The Human Appetite.
Of all the whimsical, shifting, unre
liabletreacherous, exacting thing. '
the world, the human appetite for tie
right thing to eat is, perhaps, the
most unreasonable and imperious.
There are those who humor it; oth
ers who defy it; and all men are neore
or less inclined to treat ft witn 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, la always
desirable information. One place that
is conceded as perfectly adapted ta
this, is the Palace Restaurant, jnst
opposite the Page building, on Com
mercial street, in this city. Try "
once, and patronize it always; that u.
the rule of the Palace.

The Teachers' Inatitute
J. H. Ackerman, state superintend

Astoria school board .directors that
the Clatsop county institute was one
nt th. most interestina and most suc
cessful he had ever attended and Miss
Warren and the teachers of the coun
t.. tab that as a pretty fine com
nliment. Of course no smau pan oi

mnn nd R. L. Alderman and A. R

L. R. Travers of the Monmouth nor

to the sessions, and perhaps it also
mav be stated that these three pro
fessors gave their time and services
free of, all charge. Their mere ex-
w.re naid in coming down
here. Miss Warren had sought to get
one or more of the state educators to
help oiit, and her letter stated tht it
would hardly De possioie ui y "j
thing, and the three men graciously
volunteered their services free. Of
course in a way their coming was a
sort of remote duty, and an advan-

but perhaps not all men would have
seen it in that way. At an even.s
