short time since 10 call attention to the
fact that the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company in it's advertisement. in the cur
rent numbers of the magazines had en-
tirely failed to give due prominence to Sc

Since the publication OF the article re-
ferred TO the Northern Pacific officials have
corrected the abuse complained OF and
have given to Seattle in their advertise
mcnts that degree OF prominence to which
the SIZE and business Of the city entitle It,
This In itself is q comparatively small
matter, bat it is OF importance IS indicat-
ing disposition on the part of the North
ern Pacific railroad to remedy abuses
where they are found to exist and to
accord to Seattle the same treatment that
it accords to other cities tributary to 1t Of
equal size and Importance.

The intelligent foreign sisitors to the
Columbian exposition probably tell the
truth when they praise it az superior from
an artistic and architectural point of view
to any exhibition Of the :century. Our
American exhibits are In asstate Of disap-
pointing Incompetence: the tariff preju-
dicee of many English man,s lecturers have
prompted them 20 sacrifice their own in
terests by refusing to be Exhibitors, and
for this reason England s.id some of the
nations of Europe make q: comparatively
poor display, but ell intelligent foreigners
are amazed by the structural grandeur of
the exposition. One of the foreign min
listers who was present at the dedication
last October. said: II arr surprised; I
found in Paris the buildings that should
have expected in Chicago. and find in
Chicago the buildings that:I would natur.
ally have looked sor in Paris
Today all inteilig gent foreign visitors are
unanimous in confessing :tbat while the
grounds are today unfinis. ed and the ex.
hibits in some lines incomplete, neither
London, nor Vienna, nor Paris could
begin to match the buildings of our fair
in beauty and fnish as w$ll as grandeur
of proportions. A month hence, with all
the exhibits in position. the Columbian
exposition will h. the gran;iest display the
world has ever seen.
Foreign visitors agree with the most in-
telligent and competent !: american critics
that " hile the q noaifion ia a marvel ~
excellence and a credit to tie country, it
will very likely not prove a financial sue
cess. The reason for this belief 10 tersely
stated by the New YORK Sun when il
says that while the Philadelphia Cen.
tennial exhibition was q short haul
fair, the Chicago exposition will be q
long aul fair. The Philadelphia Centen-
NAL exhibition was opened on May 10,
1876. The total number If admissions to
il were 100000 Eight nsiilions OF these
were paid for; | 10000 were Free The re-
ceipts from admissions were $3.Sl3, 723.
Three million persons, il IS computed, at
tended the fair. The Sua evidently does
not anticipate shat the Worlds fair will
secure as great 81 attendance as the Phila-
delphia Cen.en al, for tb., following rea-
sons:

The cause Of the burst main on Monday

of plug. At several intervals the pipe is
joined by a section formed like Maltese
cross. To two OF the branches are at

come to put in cross mains. These are at

place by fused lead. One of these, through
some flaws in the metal. has gradually
worked itself loose and was finally forced
out by the pressure. A new plug was put
in and the damage was repaired.
al would like the council, said Super
intendent .Calligan. 'to authorize a valve
or gate near the reservoir and another near
the pumping station. 1t is unsafe to be
without it. If they will not go to that ex-
pense there should be . pipe from the

reservoir to height equal to that OF the
usual level of the water. Then if break
occurs the water cannot flow back. We
have such safety for the Dow and Worth
