is PLEASED WITH OKLAHOMA


Washington, Jan. 3O.-Secretary Nor
ton, of the department of agriculture.
stated to-day that he had come to the
conclusion that Oklahoma was a great
country. While at Kansas City he had
been shown 800 Of the finest hogs he
ever saw and they had been sent to that
market from that territory, and in hi,
years of experience and observation in
the West he had never seen finer hogs
from any state or territory.
The secretary has been urg d to change
the quarantine line in Oklahoma so that
all of that country will be placed on
the north side of the Texas fever line.
Some time ago he said he had read of
resolution of this sort having passed
the oklahoma Legislature, but SO far he
had not received it. and he knew moth
ing Of 1t except what he had seen in the
papers.
Delegate Flynn called on the secretary
to-day to urge departmental considera-
ton of the matter. He stated that he
had been asked by private letters from
stockm"n in that country to have this
change made. So far only Beaver coun-
ty, in the extreme western part of Okla
hOma, was placed north of the quaran-
tine line. The location of oklahoma
north of this line would increase the
value of cattle at the rate of 50 and 50
per head. The secretary, together with
DR.. Salmon, indicated that If the leg
islature of Oklahoma would pass such
laws and enforce them, as would pro-
tect their country from invasion of cat
tie from Texas. the matter could then be
taken up with some hope of change
Thus far I'm territorial governments the
tendency had been To give this matter
very little attention, and cattle could
be brought in from infected districts
and thus give the disease a chance to
spread and do much damage to farmers
who had taken all possible precau'
tions, If the legislature would pass
stringent laws on the subject and em-
power someone TO carry them out by
way of protection from the Texas cattle,
there would be little doubt but the. de-
partment would be able to make the
change with very little danger of doing
an injustice to other parts of the coun-
try.
The secretary finally stated that he
would refer the matter To special agents
doing departmental work in that coun-
try, and he would be compelled to- reg
ulate his action in the matter largely
from the information and recommends
tions made by them This programme
would probably take two or three weeks,
when the matter would he passed upon.

THE B0ATNER BILL,


Washington, Jan. 3o.-The Western rep
resentatives who are working against the
Reilly Pacific railroads bill have practical
'ly come to an understanding that they will
support Representative Boatner's bill for
Pacific railroad commission, provided he
will amend 1t in one important particular.
The feature which they oppose Is that
which provides that the purchasers in case
the roads are sold under foreclosure, shall
assume all the debts of the old companies,
ana shall give the United States a mort
gage on the property payable in fifty years.
at per cent, They object to the road
bearing so large a capitalization, as they say
the Western states will have to bear the
burden in high traffic rates.
There is a possibility that MIR. Boatner
will accept their wishes by striking out the
section and leaving the feature open to
future legislation. In that event the Cali
fornians will support the Boatner plan. If
they think there is fair chance to block
the Reilly bill. 1t is understood that they
prefer there should he no legislation and
that the government should foreclose, in
case the roads default in payment of their
bonds.
