ditionai Each Year For Cur

The question of lighting the business
streets Of the citv with boulevard lights
was given bad set back at Monday e
council meeting when the cost was
shown to the aldermen. H. E. Keller,
Commonwealth Power Cos. engineer
outlined the plan and cost as follows
The district would be Main street from

the Ann Arbor tracks to Oliver street
Exchange street from Water to Park
Ball street from Main to Mason AT

lamp to burn all night, the lower ones
to II o'clock; one post in the middle OF
each block with a cluster of three
lights, m making total of IS FIVE light
posts and 30 three light posts. The
cost of installation would be between
80, 600 and $40, 900 the city to have ten
years to pay in, with interest at FIVE
per cent payable annually. The cost
of operating would be between $4,000
and So, 600 year more than at present,

Great Victory For tho Birds.

The United States senate has elected
to preserve unbroken its record in the
convervatian of wild life. After pro
longed and very strenuous struggle with
the feather trade, the friends of the
birds, both in and out of congress, have
won complete victory. On Septem-
Der 2 the senate Democratic caucus
voted to withdraw the amendment it
previously adopted to the bird.protect-
ing clause Of the tariff bill, and restore
that measure as it was written into the
tariff bill by the house committee on
ways and means. Inasmuch as there is
no probability that this action ever will
be reversed, the war with 1.-The feather
trade may be accounted as terminated,
in a sweeping victory for the birds Of
the world.
The action taken by the caucus affords
reasons for profound congratulation.
Heretofore DO party lines ever have
been drawn In congress against birds,
or other forms Of wild life; and the
prospect that the wreck Of the bird
protecting clause might or might not
be patched mp in the conference COM
mittee, at the senate's expense, gave
the bird protectors feeling of genuine
sorrow. It seems deplorable that the
senate should, for even one month,
assume position of friendliness to bird
slaughter, and draw party lines against
the birds.
But the ship Of state has righted it.
self, and once more rests on an even
keel. The new tariff bill will prohibit
the importation of wild birds plumage
for commercial purposes, no matter
from what country they come, and
will totally abolish in the United States
ana all its territorial possessions the
'odious and cruel traffic in the skins and
feathers of slaughtered wild birds.

NURSERY STOCK AT
WHOLESALE PRICES
Can Be Purchased Through Improve.
ment Association Excellent Oppor.
tunity to Secure Shrubbery, Trees,
Bulbs, ETC., at Very Low Prices.

Owosso, for years has had the repu.
tation of having as well shaded streets as
any city in Michigan and this fact has
long been a matter of local pride and
of favorable comment by strangers who
come to the city. The fact that many
of these beautiful trees are past their
prime and must soon be replaced is
apparent to any one at all interested
and calls for action on the part of those
who would not only maintain but inn
prove the appearance of the city. Little
effort and small expenditures on the
part of individuals will produce results
which will make Owosso more hand
some, better home city and afford
greater satisfaction to our citizens as
well as making the city more attractive
to those who are seeking locations for
homes.
To further this work and to give
those desiring to purchase trees, shrubs,
bulbs, etc ', to plant in the streets or
about their premises, the Civic Com
mittee of the Owosso Improvement
Association has arranged with the
Michigan Nursery Co. of Monroe, to fur
nish at wholesale prices the list of stock
given below. The prices are so low
that no one wishing to improve the ap-
pearance of their home yards and
surroundings can afford to miss placing
an order. A small expenditure will Sc
cure surprisingly large order of stock
which is guaranteed to be number one.
A few dollars expended for shrubbery
will enhance the value of ones property
beside making home surroundings more
pleasant
Landscape gardeners recommend fall
planting of trees and shrubs to ensure
the best success and the middle or latter
part of October as the ideal time. To
afford ample time to prepare and make
shipment, the order must be placed
with the Nursery Co. not later than
thr 27th of this month. Residents of
the city or county desiring to take ad
vantage of the extremely low prices
can leave their orders with E o. Dewey
at the post Office Thursday and Friday
afternoons or evenings, Sept. 25 and 26.
The list and prices follow:
