PILLsBURY MEMORIAL GIFT
Furnishings Of Assembly Room of
New Y. w. G. A. Building.

The largest single item in the furnish
ing and equipment of the new building Of
the Young Won1an's Christian. associa-
ton is the furnishing of the large assem-
bly, room. The association has been re-
lieved of all responsibility for this room
by the decision of c.. s. Pillsbury and j.
S. Pillsbury to supply the funds for the
furnishings as memorial gift for their
mother, Mrs G. A. Pillsbury. The fur
nishing will include $50 chairs, platform
furniture, draperies and two large screens
1t is especially fitting that Mrs. Pills
bury's name should be prominently asso-
ciated with this beautiful new building.
erected for the association by Mrs. w. S.
Benton, as Mrs. Pilsbury and Mrs Ben
ton were the chief contributors to the
new Jones-Harrison Home and worked to-
gether on those plans and were in close
sympathy with each others phila nthropic
labors.
The provision for the assembly room
leaves but little to be supplied in the fur
nishing Of the new building. which Is be-
ing pushed rapidly to completion.

TWO BIG. MAINS BROKEN
"A Twenty-four-Inch and a Sixteen
!. Inch Pipe Turn Their
Floods Loose. .

For the past twentyfour hours the wa
terWorks employees have been on the
jump. Two broken water mains at i'm
portant points have caused such a. sour
rying as has not been experienced since
the big "thirty-six'' went on a rampage
at Camden Place. One of the breaks
was in the "twenty-four'' at Central
and Sixteenth avenues NE. A twenty
four inch main carries a great deal Of
water and made things interesting in the
neighborhood before the gates were shut.
The other break was in the sixteen
inch pipe on University avenue Sc. Pros
pect park and surrounding country was
hampered little while by lack Of water
but there is six-inch, pipe to the same
area which finally was able to deliver, all
the water required by the hill district
The cause of the breaks has not been
ascertained. In the old days when the
pressure was supplied by the pumps and
varied greatly, a broken main was Nof
almost daily occurrence. but now that the
water comes entirely from the reservoir
and the pressure is constant it is rarely
that a main gives way. Supervisor J. III.
Mcconnell is of the opinion that the cold
snap may have helped matters along
somewhat. @...- -rEs.E-

Of sitting in his office in the Canadian
city nearly 500 miles distant.
The new lines runs through Fargo,
Grand Forks and Neche, the stretch from
Neche to Winnipeg having been con-
structed by the Canadian company.
through it Winnipeg has been placed in
telephone communication with all the
cities of the northwest and with Chicago;
and the completion of the line has been
hailed with delight by Winnipeg business
men.
What kind Of weather are you having

morning: He was very much Surprised
to hear that Minneapolis had caught the
