Many Water Lines Freeze and
Burst during Past Week
More Trouble is Expected
When Frost Begins Going
Down into Ground.

- QOh H4AlASAA VI
the Washburn Water company
has been having his share of
troubles during the past week
as result of the extreme cold
weather which has prevailed in
this section during the past six
or eight weeks and more trouble
is expected from this time on.
Water pipes in many parts of
the city have been frozen dur
ing the past week and as many
as six or seven breaks in the
mains and individual lines have
been reported. Mr.. Smith and
crew have been busy stopping
the leaks, but on account of the
cold weather and the frozen
condition of the ground the
work of repairing the broken
water mains has been quite
difficult.
One Of the largest breaks re-
ported was in the west end of
the city in the neighborhood of
the Sprague mill yard where a
large water main sprung big
leak. This has been temporarily
repaired by plugging the pipe
and as soon as other leaks have
been stopped this break will
again be given attention.
Another bad break oc< ured in
the line running to the Gautschi
building on main street occupied
by Robinson & Wieman's barber
shop. The water from this leak
caused a heavy stream, workman
were kept busy for several days
taking care Of the water. This
leak appears to be under the
new pavement which has been
laid and will be difficult to re-
pair.
Another leak is reported at
the corner of Bayfield, street
and 5th avenue where the lead
running to the hydrant is bro
ken. Other leaks are reported
about the city.
In addition to the leaks re-
ported dozens of water lines
have been frozen and a crew
from the Washburn Electric
Light and Power company have
been kept busy thawing out the
lines with electricity.
Superintendent Jack Smith of
the Water company expects
that the trouble has only started
and that more leaks will appear
as the frost drives into the
ground with the thawing wealth
er in the spring. On account of
the light fall of snow this win
ter the frost has gone into the
ground and is causing the pipes
to break.
Other cities throughout the
northwest are reporting a similar
experience and unless more
snow comes soon much trouble
is anticipated.

Labor Hall in this city resolutions
were passed which were for, ardcd
to the President, Congress man and

the gners Of the rt solutions, re-
ceived !etter in an Wer from Con

publish in full The letter is as
follows:
Feb. Is, 1917
Mr.. N E. Farnham,
Washburn, Wis.
Dear Mr.. Fsrnham:
| have resolutions signed by your
self, and Messrs. Goulette and Kin
ney, TIE committee authoriz d to
transmit the resolutions adopt' d at
public mass meeting in the city of
Washb burn, relative to our esent
in tern ationai relations.
In reply will say, that while [
sincerely hope that peace NAV be
preserved between I'll is country and
Germany. and in the past have
done all | could to promote this
end, | cannot support all of the
propositions named in the res olu-
tions. When any of the belligerents,
no matter of which side they are,
make themselves an outlaw and
absolutely disregard all teutral
rights, the United States if it has
any felf-respect left must, if that
outlawry is con tinued, take action,
and so long as President Wilson
acts strictly within the limits of
our rights | shall support him.
Permit me 10 say, that # the
sentiments in these resolutions had
been the sentiments of the people
living in this country in l776, we
would still nave been colony OF
Great Britan's. Please do not un-
derstand from this that [ do not
welcome the expression of opinion
contained in these resolutions, and
fully recognize the absolute right
of every American citizen to freely
express himself aud oppose war un
der any circums tances prior TO our
actually engaging in it, but haye
always been very f'ank with my
and have sought to
sine r. ly perform my duty accord
to my convictions.
I'm ght add, that if war does
come, shall not be in favor Of ally
ing ourselves with any OF the Delli
gerents as such, nor as tn" situation
now stands shall be ia favor of
sending any of our men over to en-
gage in land warfare. Our sole
interest 10 the present crisis is the
freedom OF the sea, and if a con
filct does come | am satisfied it will
be confined to naval warfare. /
still hope and believe that if Ger
many could understand that we had
a united nation that she would very
quickly withdraw the order she has
