PARROT RANCH.
The Only One in the World and 1t Ha'
 Enriched its Owner.


 Enriched its Owner.
 San Francisco Call.
 Martin Holts, an American, who es- tablished a parrot ranch near Victoria, Mexico, a few years ago, has met with wonderful success and has accumulated a fortune In the business It Is prob ably the only parrot ranch in the world, 1t Is certainly the only one in Mexico.
 Holts was employed for several years as a passenger conductor on the old Monterey and Mexican Gulf railroad, no wa part of the Mexican Central sys- tenn. His division was between Vic toria and the port of Tampico, on the gulf coast. through the heart of the parrot country. He was always in terested in the bright colored birds, and while running as conductor, collected many of them and taught them to speak English. There were many tourists travelling up and down his line and he did a good size business by selling the birds to Americans and others,
 The thought then occurred to Holts that he might make more money by retiring from railroad work and devot- ing his time to raising parrots, He followed the plan and purchased a large tract of land near Victoria which was teeming with parrots. He fitted mp the ranch in an unique way. Wire noting was placed around and all over the trees and, the birds were confined therein. He has had the greatest sue cess in raising the birds.
 IL is in teaching the parrots to talk NHat Holts has made an unique success. He Is q linguist speaking English, spanish, French and German fiuently, He divided his flock of several thousand birds into four classes-one for each language. He then took a few birds from each class and set to work to teach them to talk. At the end of few months HoIts had taught a number

IT IS AN ABORTION.
The British Idea of Government Con
 trol of Railroads.

The British Idea of Government Con- trol of Railroads.
 Courier-Journal.
 British. American correspondent of The Chicago Chronicle furnishes some striking facts illustrative of the abortion of government control of vocate of this policy can afford to ig- nore.
 The Intercolonial Railway connects Halifax. Novo Scotia and St. John, New
 nearly 300 miles. and is owned and operated by the government. But the contrast between the result and that of the privately operated roads of is startling to believers in the virtues of government control.
 The receipts of the road are less nsn ths is whoS ths ss This has become such burden that it is proposed to raise the traffic rates met by a loud protest from those inn mediately interested in reasonable rates. They insist that an increase sary provided certain existing abuses should be remedied.
 What these abuses are Is set forth by a St. Joseph paper, which is an According to this authority govern ment control of the road is merely political control, to the exclusion of an intelligent business management of the road, which has been loaded with "a swarm of incompetent and useless men in positions created solely for party workers" ,,so A A,og gang of boodiers gigantic steals from it's treasury. Par ty workers are free to overawe the roads nominal managers, overrun 1t with useless men at election times, surd; its offices, from the highest to the samllest, are so filled with paid employees that they are in each others ly do is divided among three; merit is utterly ignored in appointment and promotion. and party value alone Is considered; the railway on purchases scrlbers to party funds; graft and rake-off prevail in all buying, from that of bridges and rolling stock to that of cotton waste. and engines and old scrap alike are. sold to party friends at half price"
 The government controls the road and political parties control the gov Such IS pconaitoS. to b6S Se have resulted in the discrepancy be- tween the millions of dollars deficit on the Intercolonial and the millions
 Bear in mind that these are abuses which the advocates of the road admit and whose correction they urge The picture is one of current condi- tions, not of logical deduction from though an opponent of governmental control in drawing such a deduction would hardly drew it differently or in stronger lines. The facts here ad- mitted bear within themselves the evidence of logical truth.
 They are the inevitable fruits of control when government control is party control. That IS what government control in the Uni ted States would be-, And who among us believes that our political parties are better and more proof against such temptations than those of our neighbors across the border?

MARKET FOR FUTURES
PRICES TURNED VERY WEAK AFTER
 EARLY ADVANCE.
Close Was ax About Lowest Level of the Day. Showing . Net Decline of
 Twenty to Twenty-Two - Points.

New York. Oct a.-The cotton market turned very weak after an early advance and closed at just about the lowest level of the day. or net decline of 2o6z2 points. Sales were estimated at 60o.OOO bales.
 The opening was firm at an advance of 1@S points in response to higher cables, reports of a storm along the Gulf coast and predictions that low tempsratures in belt It was an October notice day and re ports that tenders representing some 10000 bales were circulating caused irregularity early and light setback from tho opening figures. but when 1t was seen that various banking and trade interests were taking up the cotton against sales of the later months the market firmed up to a net advance of about 1491s points.
 At this level offerings increased and it looked as though Wall Street bulls were trying to iiouidata.
 xressive local bear pressure and the mar ket meeting with little support. broke in sensational manner with large stop loss orders uncovered around the closing figures of Saturday. about 25 q 90 points under the best point of the morning. which local bears but without material rally. and while the closing tone was steady. prices were within two three points of the bottom.
 The census report on distribution at tracted little attention.
