CARRIES YOUNG IN POUCH.
Rat Resembling "A Kangaroo Found
in "a Bunch of bananas Mt
Denver.

While looking over bananas in one
of the rooms of his commission house
at 1924 Market street, Denver, the 9TH
er day, G. G.. Liebhardt was startled to
see a small animal about the Size of a
squirrel climbing rapidly up one of
the walls. He watched 1t until it Sc
Guided itself in a corner of the ceiling,
and then called a conference of the
help of the house. The employees
were all under the impression that it
might be a dangerous tropical visitor,
so were shy about approaching it. Mr..
Liebhardt, thinking he would give it a
run for its money" secured a ladder
and took the animal in tow by the tail.
This member measured about a foot.
The animal itself is scarcely more than
five inches long, it has a snout like a
bear and bright, shiny brown fur. In
a small pouch over its stomach were
tucked about half a dozen of it's young,
which were hardly bigger than tiny
Lizards. In some attitudes it has a
striking resemblance to a miniature
kangaroo. When it is approached by
anyone it Kisses like a snake.
A great many odd animals and rep
tiles are found in various banana
punches that come to the commission
house. The consignment which
brought the latest animal freak ia
from Costa RIGA. Several parties who
saw the "prankish" little object say it
is a member of the family of kangaroo
rats.

TO HELP ISLANDERS.
Industrial Villages to Be Estab-
lished in Porto Rico.
Agricultural Department Has Plans
Whereby the Conditions of the
People Can He Greatly
Improved.

With a view to improving the condi-
tions of the people of Porto Rico the
department of agriculture is giving
consideration to the question of estab-
fishing Industrial villages in the is
land. The manufacture of hats, straw
goods and mating, the production of
raw silk and the canning of tropical
fruits are examples of employment
which would be beneficial. DIR. S. A..
Knapp, who has investigated the agri-
cultural conditions in Porto Rico, says:
"The early establishment of a num-
Der of minor industries closely related
to agriculture is of vital Importance to
future prosperity. The object of such
industries is to give profitable employ
ment to the wives and children of farm.
laborers, so that the earning ability of
cases quadrupled. Under such condi-
tions, If the head of a family fails for
any cause to earn his wage the home
goes on. The earning capacity is less
ened, but the home is not destroyed.
This has it's moral as well as eco
nomic bearing. Many philathropic
Porto Ricans suggested that the labor
ers on coffee and tobacco plantations
scattered upon the mountains, without
roads, society or schools, with the chill
dren nude and semiwild, could never
derive the full advantages of a free
education and be influenced by the ele-
walton of society until they were gath
cred into small villages and become
amenable to social laws.
I'm a republic this cannot be done by
force, but once small industrial vii
lagos are established in the country
the scattered mountain population will
be attracted to the village by its SUI
perior earning capacity and its advan-
tages for school, society and better
living. The establishment of these vii
lagos will be no detriment to the farms
cat the village labor will be within
h reach of every farm"

ST. PAUL USES 100000 GALLONS
OF WATER MORE THAN
FORMERLY
CAUSE Is NOT APPARENT
Owing to the Large Amount of Rain
the Heavy Consumption Has
Resulted in No Pri-
walton.

Daily measurements made at the lakes
at Centerville and the pumping station
of the local waterworks shows that ST
in the neighborhood Of 2,OOO,0 gallons
OF water a day more than It did a year
ago Happily, because of the late rains,
there is no stint of the fluid, but had
this condition prevailed a year ago, when
the lakes nearly dried up, the trouble re-
sulting would have been untold.
The cause of this increase the mem
bers of the water board are unable to
account for unless it is a decided increase
in the number Of factories and those
who use the city water Yearly there is
and the board is in manner able to &C
count for a part Of the jump, but 2,00O.-
0OO gallons a day Is a problem, and steps
will soon be taken to see where it Is
going.
Of the three bfeweries, whose monthly
consumption is in the millions of gal
Ions, the Hamm Brewing company is a
heavy patron Of the local waterworks,
and to them some Of the increase is cred
tied. This year their water bill is enor-
nous.
The rain god has been good to tho water
department this year, lllling the big
basins bank full against a year ago, when
an absolute scarcity prevailed. At Cen
terVtlle the feeders are bank full, and the
immense daily consumption seems to
have little effect. At the other basins

Bonrd VIII Act

Bonrd VIII Act.
''If the public demands them, and the
proper authority is given by the coun-
Gill;" said P. w. Hudner, of the water
board, yesterday, this department viii
put in all the public drinking fountains
necessary. 1t is an improvement I would
like to see made and one that the public
I am sure, would appreciate"
About fifteen years ago." continued
Mr.. Hudner, If 1 remember rightly,
there were enc or two fountains at which
man might Shake his thirst, but they
have long ago disappeared and no one
seems to know what has become of
them. Our authority for such must come
from the council and when that is given,
they will be put up without delay.
Since the controversy arose between
the health department and the water de-
partrnent over the alleged impurities Of
the animal fountains and investigation
brought to light the fact that many poor
people were using the water from them
for drinking and cooking purposes, con-
siderable of q demand has gone up for
the establishment of drinking fountains
for man and it is probable that the coun-
Gil will be petitIoned to put in a. few
even if only for an experiment
Several Of the civic bodies have taken
the question up and debate upon it has
been lively. DR.. Ohage, of the health
department also has the drinking foun-
tain question under consideration and
will shortly enlighten the council on the
conditions that now exist and the num-
Der of private wells he has been COM
PEELED to condemn.

TO BUILD new SCHOOLS
SCHEME TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT
YEAR ABANDONED.

The proposed scheme Of partly finishing
the proposed new school houses to he
located in the Eighth, Second and Elev-
enth wards, and compile ng them next
year when another appropriation he
comes available. has bsen abandoned by
the members Cf the board of education.
Instead the buildings will te completed
entire, and the cost will be betrayed
from the money on hand, about SO, 600.
This course was decided upon yester-
day, at a conference between Mayor
Smith, President Zimmerman and AS
sistant Attorney Griggs and will be car
ried out without delay. Increased school
facilities in the minds of the board are
a necessity, and for this reason, they
are greatly DESTROYS of having the
structures completed this year.
The idea Of building the shells this
year and completing them next when a
new appropriation became available was
at first considered, but as delay would
ensue that would be irksome and make
much bother it was dropped. The plan
is regarded as perfectly feasible and no
objection by Comptroller McCardy would
have prevailed.
The repairs to the Humboldt building
en- the West side will be paid out of the
repair fund They will cost about $4,000.
