The ground he took was that they should issue in structions to the inspectors to have certain questions answered, under oath, and ii the answers to these ques- tions were deemed unsatisfactory, the cattle should be refused admittance.
 The speaker then read a number of resolutions in furtherance of these views which he had drawn up, for the approval ot the meeting. They had, he said, met with the approval of the Wilcox Association yesterday.
 WHEREAS, there is prevalent among cattle in the States and Territories south of the 360 parallel of the north latitude a certain infectious and con tagious disease known as Texas, splen- ic or Spanish fever; and
 WHEREAS, it is essential for the cat- tie interests of Arizona to prevent the introduction and spread of such dis ease within this Territory, therefore be 1t
 Resolved, by this Association that when it is sought to bring cattle into this Territory which have been south ofthe 36' parallel of north latitude and west of the east line of the Indian Territory or north of the 34' parallel of north latitude and west of the aIst meridian of longitude west from Washington within I2 months of the time it is sought to introduce such cattle into Arizona, such fact shall be deemed prima facia evidence that such cattle are capable of communicating and liable to impart Texas, splenic or Spanish fever, and shall be sufficient grounds to justify any inspector of cattle to refuse to give the owner of such cattle certificate permitting him  to bring such cattle into Arizona.

Therefore, be it
 Resolved, that our inspectors are hereby instructed to refuse to give such certificate to the owner or owners of any cattle capable of communicat ing and liable to impart Texas, splen- ic or Spanish fever, as set forth in the preceding resolution.
 Resolved, That we will not recom- mend or indorse any one to the ap- pointment otinspector of cattle who will not agree to observe and strictly follow out the foregoing resolutions.
 Resolved, That this Association, in conjunction with the local associa- tions, support any inspector who will observe the foregoing resolutions and pay the cost of any suit in which he may become involved as consequence of such observance:
 Our inspectors are hereby further instructed that in order to arrive at the facts necessary upon which to act, they shall require the following state ments to be satisfactorily made under oath, by the owner or owners or per son Tn charge of any cattle and from other persons possessing the necessary information, to-wit:
 The State and county where the stock was raised, and where they have been ranged, such statement to be ac- companied by certified bill of sale or statement from the person or per sons raising and ranging such stock during twelve months previous, and by certificate from the clerk or re- corder of the county as to the owner or owners of the bfands upon the stock.
