PARROT
TALKS OF EXTENSION

J.R. Parrot, of Jacksonville, was in
New York on Tuesday, and the Tri-
bune of that city obtained an inter-
view from him as follows:
-. R. Parrott, president OF Henry
M. Flagler's Florida East Coast rail-
road, returned to this city yesterday
from an inspection of the company's
construction work to connect the main
land of Florida with the island of Key
West by steel viaducts extending from
islet to islet between these two points.
Mr.. Parrott said that the work was
progressing rapidly and would be COM
pleted in January.
"Orders will be placed shortly, he
said, for the largest all-steel car floats
ever constructed. These are to be
used for carrying freight and passen-
ger cars between the terminus OF the
road at Key West and Havana, Cuba, a
distance of ninety.One miles, so that
trains made up in this country or Cuba
can be transported across this interest.
ing strip of water and run to any point
desired. -,
"For instance, Mr.. PARROT said he
was negotiating for large contracts for
the carriage of raw sugar from the
plantations of Cuba through in bulk tC
the refneries here and in Philadelphia,
This will effect saving to the re-
fineries in the item of bagging alone,
of 40 cents ton. With other items
the total saving to sugar interests
would amount to about $3.50, 600 or
each years crop"

BIG PRICE FOR CATTLE

Will history repeat itself? The sale
on September IS of the Peter Ferguson
steers at 81 per hundred live weight
marks the highest price paid for grass
fed beef cattle since 1902 when the sale
of the Geo. Harkins cattle at STAG
topped the Worlds market. The PRESS
has no report on the age of the Ferguson
steers raised near Wade in Morton
county, but judging from the average
weight for 80 head at 1, 467 pounds and
the quality from the price, they must
have been natives. At 7c per pound live
weight, these steers brought the owner
$102. 50 per head, or 81, 259. IS per car
load. figuring the usual number of % to
the car. By consulting the Ranch and
Farm column of the PRESS, it will be
seen that Mr.. Ferguson had one steer
tina, weighed 1, $50 pounds. selling at
Sc. Is per hundred. or 1914. 80. The same
party sold 10 head, averaging in weight
l,413 pounds, at $6.i5 per hunrded or
$50. 81 per head. This made an e
rage selling price for the So steers of
1914. 80.
The Harkins steers sold in 1902 were
three-year-old natives raised south of
Dickinson in the Cedar creek country.
The average weight of the steers was
1,424 pounds and at 81. 40 per hundred
brought the owner $105. SO per head.
