An Important Sewerage Outlet.
Now that Seventh street is lieing im
proved, it is very important that it
should have a good sewerage outlet.
And the only practical outlet is tnrough
Singer crecli. A sewer should be built
through the depression caused by the
heavy flow of water in winter, that would
be sufficiently large to carry off the
sewerage from several adjacent streets,
and shot'Id be constructed with a view
toils more urgent need in the future.
Seventh street should by all means
have a good ami sufficient sewer drain
age, and it will be but a short time be
fore other streets would need the Singer
creek main as an nutlet for numerous
branch sewers. The attention of the
city council is called to this very im
portant matter, and it h expected that
they will takeprojier action.

Mure Singing Minis.
The society for Ihe introduction of
(iermaii singing birds has bad prepared
beautifully mounted Hecimeris of each
variety of birds imported by them,
which are now on exhibition at the olllce
of the secretary, ('. P. P(lmer, ,m Sec
ond street, near Morrison. I!y ex amiuing
them, persons will lie able to tell the
binh when they see them in the Melds
or woods. The case includes specimens
of the male anil female of the nightin
gale, bullfinch, goldllnch, greenfinch,
chaffinch, singing ipiail, black thrush,
song thrush, starling, linnet, skylark,
cardinal crossbill, etc. The society has
ordered a lot more of birds to the value
of fr)00, principally song and black
thrushes, European robins ami bull
finches, which will arrive here about the
middle of October. Mr Frank Dektim,
president of the society, is having a large
aviary built on his grounds for thfdr re
ception, where they will Ire kept during
the winter, and when the spring is suffi
ciently advanced they will be turned
loose With these birds will also arrive
a lot of skylarks, starlings, linnets, gold
finches, mocking buds, bullfinches and
bobolinks, ordered by Mr. W. H. I,add,
to the value of $200, and a lot of larks,
thrushes, robing, linnets, bullfinches,
etc., for Mrs. J. H. Smith, of MountTa
bor. Mr. Ladd and Mrs. Smith are
having quarters prepared for these birds
and will turn them loose in the spring.
It is expected that the birds will be in
better condition after being kept through
the winter than if they had made the
long journey in the spring and were then
sot at large. The result of the first im
portation of birds has been very satisfac
tory, many of the species having in
creased wonderfully and spread over a
large extent of territory. If the new
plan of importing proves a success the
society will again import a lot of night
ingales and endeavor to establish those
beautiful singers here. Oregonian.
