HI CATTLE
Immense Shipment Under the
New Order.

The resolution allowing healthy Cali
fornia cattle to be shipped through Ne
vada, has resulted in a great movement
of cattle. The Examiner has the fol-
lowing:
Cattle and sheep are leaving California
in drove The cattle quarantine against
the central and southern parts of the
State has been sufficiently modified to
permit the removal of fully 10000 head Of
stock from the drought-stricken sections.
The valu of the imperiled stock approx
imates 100000. A much larger sum is
involved, when thousands of sheep are
taken into consideration. Nevada has re-
fused to harbor any of the animals, ever
when properly inspected, on the ground
that its own feed is short, but it has
agreed not to interfere with interstate
shipments to points beyond its eastern
line.
The Nebraska, Utah and Wyoming
authorities, it is understood, have agreed
to allow shipments into those States
where proper inspection against disease
is made. The overland railroads have
also consented to make half the ordinary
dtC " StoSh SCltb IL " pdSlltId St.
In consequence arrangements are now
making for the shipment of many heavy
train-loadS.
Many cattle and sheep will be sent to
the northern part of the State and to
Oregon, but other thousands will be
pastured in Utah and the States east of
there.
One big shipment of 1880 sheep is on
its way east. 1t composes five trains.
Each train has thirty-seven cars, and in
each car there are 100 sheep. Another
shipment of $4,000 is on the way to Chi
cago, the owners having a favorable sale
to several big buyers there.
The railroad people think 10000 sheep
will be shipped east within three weeks.
Cattle and sheep cars are being collected
and hurried here from all parts of the
west.
Some 5000 cattle will be ready for ship
ment to-day TO Utah, Colorado and Ne
braska. This one consignment of stock
will require fifteen trains. Each train
will have about eighteen ears, n there
will be twenty head of cattle to The car.
The railroad authorities are making ar
engagements for sixty trains of eighteen
ears each. so as to handle a vast quantity
of cattle within the next two weeks. If
all of those trains are used, it will mean
the shipment of 10000 head of stock to
points east of Nevada.
Should there be "A good rainfall within
a day or two, there will be a decrease in
the contemplated shipments.
The Reno Journal says:
Governor Sadler interviewed a num-
Der of prominent stOckmen yesterday
and without exception they approved of
his decided stand on the cattle quaran-
tine question, and he proposes to carry
out The law to the letter. He also looked
over the sheep situation and did not an
ticipate that any more of California's
starving sheep would be sent into Ne
vada. Governor Budd has applied to the
Secretary of Agriculture for a modifica-
ton Of the quarantine rules and a re-es-
adjustment of the line for infected dis
%tricts, so that certain counties of Cali
fornia will be out of quarantine and the
stOckmen can ship their cattle into Ne
vada. Governor Sadler says: "That's all
right, I don't care about Governor Budd.
he can't foo this %dutchman; FL give you
a pointer on that" and it does look as if
the Governor of California had run
against a stump. Governor Sadler also
said: "You don't see any cattle or sheep
trains going through here from Califor-
MIA do your" When answered in the
negative, he added: well. you won't
neither if you hear my gentle racket. l
am going to stand for the State of Ne
vada and Cal! mia can take care of her
own diseased stock as best she can. we
don't want it here" If the Secretary of
Agriculture should issue an order that
inspected cattle or those free from the
disease can be shipped from California
through this State. Governor Sadler will
; insist that a quarantine station be estab-
lished where cattle in transit can only be
| unloaded for feed and water, the number
of hours lay over provided, and the trains
flying flags indicating infected cattle
In fact, the regulations to be as strict as
they can be made and to be enforced il
every particular.
