Above we give a diagram of our
only sewer, running from the
asylum and penitentiary through
Court street to the river. The sewer
is but Is inches diameter, and serves
the state buildings named, also the
state house and is expected to be
used by the four tiers of blocks lying
between Ferry and Center streets.
The dotted lines represent the main
sewer and laterals through Court
street and the alley ways.
1t will be seen that north of Court
there are three laterals running
through the allies from Center to
Court, lying between Front and
Commercial, Commercial and Lib
erty and Liberty and High. South
of Court street there is but one
lateral, from State to Court through
alley between Front and CONNER
cial. Another lateral is needed
north of Court, between Church and
Cottage streets, to abate the horrid
nuisance discussed elsewhere.
There should be added to this
sewer through the greater part of
Ferry street, and also through
portion of Center street to be ex-
tended east as occasion demands.
By means Of laterals running a
block north and south none would
be overtaxed, and six tiers of blocks
would be accommodated, lying be-
tween Trade and Marion streets.
There is great complaint of the
numerous cesspools in the central
part of the city. The general health
demands these sewers, as well as
public economy and convenience.

Romance and Reality.

James, dear, will you bring me
up a hod of coal from the cellar?n
said busy wife.
'"That's just the way with you,"
said James, with a black frown, as
he put down his book and rose up
from the lounge.
"Just the way with me?"
"Yes," he snapped. GAS soon as
you see me enjoying myself, you
have some chore or another for me
to do. Didn'tyou see 1 was absorbed

"Well, dear, I will do it myself" +"
ayes, and tell everybody, your
mother especially, that you have to
carry your own coal up from the
cellar. No, I'll do it. Let me mark
my place"
So he marked the place in the
book at which he had ceased read
ing, and when he went down to the
cellar, grumbling all the way, she
picked up the volume and found it
was a love story, and that the pas
sage he had been absorbed in was as
follows: "My darling, when you are
my wife 1 will shield and protect
you from every care, the winds of
heaven shall not visit your face too
roughly, those pretty hands shall
never be soiled by menial tasks,
your wish shall be my law, your
happiness-."
Just then he re-appeared, and
the hod on the floor, said:
'There's your darned coal. Give
me my book"

In the Pacific Northwest region these
have never been problem. Immigrants
are not coming to solve problems.
They are coming to fiud prosperity, and
they want something else besides climate
and town luis, the latter at prices which
wonld be dattering to New York city.
In Oregon and Washin ton they find all
the needs of life cheap aud plentiful,
with homes at reasonable prices and a
delicious climate thrown in.
