A PERTINENT INQUIRY.

Two Or three stockmen and butchers have called at THE OASIS office and requested the paper to propound this inquiry: "Wherein are stockmen protected by the inspection law when It IS not enforced?" The law provides Tor daily inspection of animals slaughtered and their hides after slaughter. In fact animals are frequently slaughtered without in. spection, and hides are inspected only semi-occasionally. MT. Charles Beck stated that on the 18th inst, there nad been no inspection of hides at Nogales in the month of July. The further complaint is made that the tallies of inspectors, butchers and vendors of cattle as to the numher sold and slaughtered do not agree The criticism is made that with the slack enforcement of the law en- Dortunity is afforded to slaugbter stolen cattle.
