German Singing ltlrtls.
In Germany and other countries of Eu
rope there are many singing birds, beauti
ful in plumage and musical in song, that
arc not native to America. Among these
are thc nightingale, song thrush, bullfinch
skylark and others. A year ago a move
ment was made by our citizens of Portland
to import n thousand of these birds into
Oregon with the expectation that they would
rapidly increase in numbers and soon be
come as plentiful as the native birds.
They will arrive in May, and will be turned
loose in or near the city. Thc mocking
bird, bob-o-link and red bird are also taken
to Oregon from thc southern states. The
mild climate of Oregon will no doubt be ap
preciated bv what The West Shore Jlagmine
calls "Our Feathered Immigrants," which
is the title of a large art supplement ac
compaying the magazine for March. This
is an elegant piece of artistic printing in
colors, and shows these, birds, sixteen, dis
tinct kinds, in their natural colors. Every
lover of birds will be charmed with this
beautiful engraving. The number also
contains a description of them, as well as
engravings and descriptions of North Yaki
ma, Wash., and Balnier and St. Helens,
Oregon, and much other interesting and
valuable information about the Pacific
northwest. Price $2J50 a year, 25 cents a
