This Isl suggestion to the city authorities.

| This is suggestion to the city authorities.
| Thcquestion Of how to drain the swail or
slough that runs through Douglas avenue has
been discussed often. Every plan SO far
would involve large expense. We see by
the Lawrence papers that Ex-Governor Rob-
inson has drained slough on the Kansas
river bottom by sinking wells down to the
sand--bore-wes, as we understand it. That
plan we suggested to our authorities once be-
fore. The plan is inexpensive, and even if it
should not work as permanent thing the
city would not be much cut. We would not
advise small bored wells, but wells six or
eight feet square, sunk down to the loose
sand or gravel, well curbed on the sides and
covered. Dig them on one side and drain the
sloug into them. / they become SO full of
soil or other matter as to prevent the escape
of the surface water they can be uncovered
aud cleaned out at very little expense. We
hope TO see the council act upon the sugges-
ton and let us get rid of that unsightly pond.
EDITOR EAGLE: Your article ON s'Pure
Drinking Water in the EAGLE, last week,
calls to mind our recent evening boat ride on
the Little River, when we noticed, With sur
prise, upon its narrow, steep banks pig styes,
cattle pens and stock yards, all casting their
filth and drainage into its else pure waters.
On inquiry we further learn that fishermen,
some weeks since, in SEEMING the river, within
the city limits, drew out several large dead
hogs, killed by poison, and putrld carcasses
of cows and calves, the odors of which, when
the waters were disturbed, drove them from
their nets. Now it is known to .aIl men that
the drinking water of the city flows under it
from this river, or lake. May not this be the
cause of many of our foul city wells? May it
not induce sickness? Ought it not TO be the
subject of investigation by our city fathers,
and especially the Board of Health? What
say you and our esteemed city friends who
are drinking daily of this nauceous, poison
Gus soup. A CITIZEN.

Sir Archie and His Fleece

DEAR MURDOCH l Will have to beat that
fleece Of wool | saw mentioned in the EAGLE
few days ago having clipped from our
American Merino ram, "Sir Archie" twenty
pounds of clean wool, being one years
growth. We finished shearing last week and
are well pleased with the yield of wool, and
find our sheep in number one condition, lambs
doing well and lots of them. Mr.. Theron
Crist and n. Fleyeen did our clipping, and ac-
complshed the extraordinary feat of shear
ing III sheep in one day; Crist sixty-two and
Green fifty-tive. This l consider the largest
days clipping L ever heard of, as the sheep
were all woel to the heels and averaged
FIVE pounds TO each fleece, and the work was
well done. Speak good word for this bust
ness whenever you can. 1t is a safe invest
ment and we want this county full .of sheep.
so that we can have market for our wool at
home. PINK FoUTs.
