.JUAREZ WILL HA We
DRINKING FOUNTAIN

Ciudad Juarez is TO have d drinking
fountain for animals in the plaza facing
the market house 1t is to be the gift
of the National Humane alliance, and
is the result of the interest Mrs. Minnie
Maddern Fiske, the great emotional
actress, has taken in the little city
across the border, which first attracted
her attention because of the bull fights
held there each Sunday.
The fountain, which will be a dupli-
cate of the one now installed and in
operation in Toltec triangle in Ell Paso,
will be presented 70 the city by the
National Humane society, of which Mrs
Ftske is vice president and her hus
band. Harrison Gray Fiske, is treas
urer.
The alliance drinking fountains, as
they are called, are made possible
through the establishing and endowing
of the National Humane alliance by
the late Harmon Lee Ensign, of New
York. These fountains are OF Maine
granite. highly polished. and are trim
med with bronze, with a bronze plate
on the front upon which appears the in
scription: Presented by the National
Humane Alliance-Hermon Lee Ensign,
Founder The date of the presenta-

ton is also given on the bronze plate
Each fountain has a large bowl into
which two streams of water pour con-
stantly from ornamental lion heads
This is for the use of the horses, while
four smaller bases, cut from the granite
are arranged for the convenience OF
the dogs, and have streams of water
pouring into them all the time
The proposal of presenting a foun-
tain TO the city of Juarez by the HUI
name alliance was first made to z. E.
Neff by Mrs. Fiske. In letter to Mr..
Neff the actress suggested that a foun-
tain in Juarez would be standing les
son in the objects of the Humane al
lance and would be the first step in the
humane work in Mexico. The matter
was taken up with mayor Francisco
Portillo. of Juarez. who Immediately
approved of the plan and offered his
cooperation In securing the fountain for
the Mexican city. Although no site
was selected or suggested by him, it
was thought that the open square in
front of the Mexican market house
would be an ideal location. Mayor Por-
tillo told Mr.. Neff that he would be
pleased to accept the fountain and Mr.
Neff has written Mrs. Fiske

Charged Against Them.
INSURANCE PAPER
TAKES RAP AT us

AS basis Of comparison between the
key OF FL Paso for fire insurance, as
fixed by the actuary at so cents, and
those OF the other cities and towns of
Texas, the key rate code which recently
appeared in one of the insurance papers
gives some interesting figures
Dallas, with population of 100. 900.
is given a key rate of 81 cents, while
San Antonio, given the same population.
has almost double the key rate her
sister city has, it being fixed at SO
cents.
Denison, with a population of 1880,
and a fire fighting department. in pro-
portion. has the same key rate as FL
Paso with a population given at 43.3OO
and with almost all brick constructed
buildings and modern fire depart
ment. Dallas is trying to have its rate
reduced from 81 to % cents and San
Antonio is making similar effort to
improve conditions and thereby reduce
the rate
One of the insurance journals in
speaking of the Texas rates says of FL
Paso: With an inadequate water sup
ply. fire department undermined and
poorly equipped. fire alarm system
strictly on the bum. and with a loss
ratio much in excess of a high average.
FL Paso, Tex. is not in position TO give
the companies any back talk"

the state as given in a list of the rates

and opening off of this will be the
executive and private office

On the left will be the entrance to
the main ward, which will be large
enough to accommodate at least Is
cots and which viii have a number of
windows for air and ventilation. The
dining room will be connected with the
ward by a folding door in order to allow
the nurses TO watch the children in the
ward cots while they are eating. This
dining room Will have large stone
fireplace in the end, which will furnish
heat for this room and assist in heat
ing the main ward.
Private Rooms.
The private bedrooms, of which there
will be four extending in a row back
Of the executive office, will have en-
frances from the porch and also into the
hall. These rooms viii be for the care
Of infants whose parents can afford to

these rooms viii only receive the same
care and attention as those in the large
ward The kitchen, serving pantry and

by means of a hot air furnace in the
basement and the fire place in the
dining room. There will be linen shoots
from the private rooms and ward TO
the laundry in the basement, portable
bathtubs arranged in each of the rooms
arrangements.
To Make Ii Pay
The committee having the project of
saving the babies in charge has sug-
gested a way of putting the sanatorium
on firm financial basis from the start.
For the private rooms, a nominal
charge will be made to those who can
afford it. This will be added into the
general fund for maintaining the insti-
tuition. In addition to this fund, a sub
scription viii be arranged for the gen
eral support of the sanatorium and
which viii be raised by those who are
most deeply interested in the life saw
ing station for the babies
The clinic will be maintained by the
physicians Of FL Paso and the nursing
done by volunteer nurses from the city
hospitals.
To Endow Cots.
\ novel suggestion has been made
and will probably be adopted. This is
to have as many public spirited women
as there are TO be cots in the general
ward, each to endow cot for a summer
season and to pay the pro rata of the
expenses of the institution as her en-
dowment for that cot This would make
the institution self supporting from the
start and would insure its success from
the time it was opened

More than $1,000, 600 worth of build
ings are either being built. have just
been completed. or the plans have been
drawn and their erections is assured in
Ell Paso at the present time.
The architects estimates of the
building operations at the present time
place the total figure at s1,1s4,eO0 for
the larger buildings and improvements
which have either been completed, are
under way or planned.
Add to this amount the estimates on
the smaller buildings which are being
built in different parts Of the city and
the value will be run up to a round
s1,5O0,0o0.
This does not include a number Of
buildings which have been proposed and
which the prospective builders have
given their word would be built, neith-
er does it include the new hotel which
is now almost certainty. These fig
ures include only the tangible building
operations at the present time.
The Weeks Record.
FL Paso builders are busily engaged
in destroying old structures prepara-
tory to erecting new ones on the sites
formerly occupied by those being dis
mantled Consequently the activity IN
the building line during the past week
has not been so noticeable as during
other weeks Of the present month and
permits for new buildings will not be
issued until the old places are entirely
demolished.
For the week ending Friday, IL per-
mits had been issued for the construc-
tion of buildings valued at only s16.04S
as compared with II permits issued the
week previous for buildings to cost
s59,S42. However, it is expected that
next week several large permits will
be issued and the week will show up
well.
While this line of Improvement has
fallen off slightly for a time there was
a noticeable activity in the real estate
world the considerations paid for trans
fers totaling s1S5,ss2, compared with
s77,137.
The transfer of the Times property
on South Oregon street, between Over
land and Second streets for a consid-
Grafton of $4,000 is responsible for
the noticeable increase.
Thursday was observed as a holiday
by the banks and very little business
was done by real estate men on that
day outside Of the one big deal re-
ferred to and which had been pending
for several months.
DemoIishing Old Buildings.
AS rapidly as the old buildings are
disappearing, the new ones are coming
into being. The Mills building is now
down to the first floor in the rear, and
but two stories remain of this struc-
ture on the front.
The American National bank building
is nothing but a heap OF brick, lum-
Der and rubbish. and the site is being
cleared as rapidly as possible
On the opposite side of the plaza, the
third story of the Roberts Banner
building is nolino fts head above the
