DR.. /. H Buxton, territorial superin-
/ tendent of public health, received word
| last night that the town Of Stroud is
infested with smallpox, and left for that
place for the purpose of making an in
vestigation of the report.
The Oklahoma livestock sanitary board
have informally decided to place the quar-
antine regulations for the year 1893 in
force commencing January l, instead Of
January Is, as heretofore. This was deem
ed advisable owing to the open weather
and the liability of the cattle from the
extreme south bringing in cattle ticks. 1t
has been demonstrated that the very young
ticks on catt.e are liable TO live and spread
infection II the limit is extended beyond
January / The commission will meet on
the 10Th inst, at which time the regula-
tons will be adopted and promulgated.
The commission will reorganize the eff
cacy OF the dipping process as destructive
OF ticks and will eprmit cattle TO enter
Oklahoma at any season of the year after
having been dipped. This will prove of
great benefit 10 the cattle industry. Here
tofore eattlemen VIZ complld TO bring thir
cattle into Oklahoma before January IL
in order TO be in time fixed by the quar-
antine regulations. This proved a great
hardship to the grazers in Western Okla
homa, as they had to feed cattle until
grass. which was heavy expense. In
der the new regulations this expense of
feed and the danger resulting from ex-
posure TO cold on the western prairies will
b avoided 1t will thus be seen that while
to few feeders the dipping regulations
hav seemed graf hardship and injustice,
the masses of the people-th-e- farmers,
grazers and tax-payrs-and benefited in
a manner that cannot be estimated in
dollars and cents.
