 drew especial attention to Section 5, which provides that, if the Inspector is satisfied as to the health of the cat tie, he shohld permit them to enter. The speaker observed, that it was we'll known that cattle apparently healthy, would communicate the Texas fever. That was the reason why they had got up the quarantine law which the Gov ernor had vetoed, as unconstitutional. The speaker thought, however, that Sections I and 5 would cover the question. Kansas had quarantlned against certain sections of Texas, therefore he thought they had good ground to quarantine cattle from the same districts. When Colorado and Kansas quarantined against district, as dangerous, he thought it should be enough brema faeie evidence for our inspectors to refuse admittance to cat. tie from those districts. 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 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.
 WHERE'S, there is prevalent among cattle in the States and Territories south of the 360 parallel of the north latitude 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 of the 36o parallel of north latitude and west of the east line of the Indian Territory or north of the 340 parallel of north latitude and west of the 2Ist 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,
 Whereas, the act of tbe Legislative Assembly ot Arizona entitled "An Act to Prevent the Introduction of Diseased Cattle into Arizona" says:
 Section 5. of upon such inspec ton and investigation, such inspectors shall be satisfied that such cattle are free from contagious and infectious disease and are otherwise proper to be admitted under the provisions of Sec. I, of this Act, he shall give a certif- cate to this effect, and if not so satis- fled he shall refuse to give such cer- tihcate." Therefore, be 1t
 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- ir 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 ofinspector 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- comDanied bv a certified bill of sale
