SECRETARY MORTON
WILL DE INVITED TO ATTEND THE
CATTLEMEN's CONVENTION.

The fact that Governor culberson
aud Secretary Mayneld have gone TO
Washington ioi the purpose OF confer
ring with Secretary Morton with ref
erencc to the re-estaDlishment OF the
old quarantine boundary. hes had the
effect OF raising the opinion OF those
Interested In the cattle industry to-
ward the gubernatorial administration.
Some, however, while admitting that
he has embarked in a worthy cause
hint that he is taking advantage OF an
opportunity to brace his fences In the
coming canvass. II Ia generally agreed.
however, that II he succeeds In his
purpose. he will have done the cattle
ralsers of Texas an incalculable SER
vice. while at the same time performing
the duty incumbent upon the chief ex-
ecutive OF u great state.
Opinion among leading cattlemen In
greatly divided as the result of the
conference. Many uphold Secretary
Morton In his action In view OF the
surroundings. and believe he had good
grounds for extending the lines so as
to include the whole state; but II alb
solute assurance IL given by Governor
Culberson that the line win be pro-
tected in the state, there VIII be no
Justice in making the present boun-
daries permanent.
Taking this view OF the situation and
granting that Secretary Morton is dis
posed to do that which win subserve
to the best interests of all both north
and south OF the line, there Will not be
much difficulty in having the old line
established on the basis OF last year.
Should this be done, 1t will be on the
absolute assurance that the line VIII

tanned by the local authorities.
There has been some misunderstood
ing among shippers as TO the effect OF
the present rules and regulations OF
the state and national quarantine lines,
which are as follows:
Under the government regulations as
they exist Mt present cattle cannot be
moved from any part of the state for
| grazing or feeding purposes to any
point north OF the southern line of
| Kansas. Cattle cannot under the pres
| ent state regulations be moved from
any point south of the quarantine line
as 1t existed last year to any point
north of said line within the state or
| Texas excepting between the 10Th day
| OF November and the 18th day Of Feb
ruary OF each year This does not pro-
hlblt tho movement OF cattle Into the
Indian reservations of the Usage. the
| Ponca and the Otoes. Cattle designed
for the pastures within those reserva-
lions can be unloaded at Ponca. Red
| Rock, or any other station running
through these reservations.
Parties moving emigrant OUTFITS
which include cows, calves or cattle
| Of any kind cannot move them from
any point in Texas into Missouri,
Kansas, Iowa or any other state lying
north of the south line OF Kansas.
should shippers OF emigrant outfits
undertake to ship along with them their
household goods and mich cows. they
would be held up when they arrive
at the quarantine line and not per
mltted to go through. Shippers Of i'm
| migrant outfits should bear this in
| mind and save themselves much trouble
| and expense.
