Into the United States from Ecuador,

article in an English paper.
The JMaro Indians, of which there
are $1,000 in the oriental region of
Ecuador, have been cutting off the
leads of their enemies and their own
dead for years, and picking them in
secret preparation only known to
their own savage Tribes. The heads,
after treatment, shrink from natural
size to a siisly miniature about three
by two inches in size.
A halter is said to have repre-
sentative in Ecuador who regularly
ships these heads TO Panama City, be-
cause there is no legitimate market
for them in the cities of Ecuador. In
America, however, they have a ready
sale, Prompted by some morbid in
stinct, American women of fashion

with the same month last year. Ex-
penditures during September for
maintenance Of way and maintenance
of equipment were reduced per cent
and 1 per cent, respectively, below the
corresponding figures last year.

of 4.21 per cent of their property
investment. For the same period last
year the return was given as 4.62

enues 1886 cents went for expenses,
