 cattle inspector at Concho, Apache
 county.
 Tom Ford has been appointed cattle inspector at Holbrook vice John T.
 Jones resigned.
 News: Jake Schroerer, of Cochise county sold 317 head of cattle to w.. c. Land, on Friday of last week, who shipped them to Bakersfield, Califor- nia, consigned to the Kern County Land and Cattle Go.
 Star: w. c. Green, whose range is on the San Pedro, Cochise county, has sold to Frank L. Proctor, of Tucson, 1000 head of yearling cattle, for May delivery. These young cattle it is presumed are for shipment to the feeding states.
 Stockman: " c. Land, the cattle shipper, sent out from Tucson We'd nesday a trainload of 800 head of cattle. The shipment went to the Kern County Land and Cattle Co.,, and were purchased from L. Zecken- dorf & Go. Price not known.
 Stockman: Northern cattlemen, especially from the grazing states, are worried over the high prices asked for stock cattle in the south, and nearly all are holding back on their pur- chases until they can see something in the situation that will warrant them in paying higher prices, and owners of range herds, who have always bought heavily of stockers in the spring, are seriously contemplating the question of breeding for them selves instead of buying
 The reported action of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry in forbidding the exportation .of cattle from below the quarantine line to European points and Cuba is regarded by cattlemen and livestock exporters as an unnecessary blow to the Cuban cattle trade, which is just now begin niug to develop. The cattlemen as- sert that Cuba does not object to re- ceiving cattle from Mexico, and that the stock from the latter country is just as susceptible to fever as Texas cattle. At present large shipments of Mexican cattle are being made to Cuba, and if the order of the Bureau of Animal Industry is enforced the supply of cattle will be wholly obtain ed from Mexico instead of Texas. Texas cattlemen claim that this is an unjust discrimination against Texas cattle.
 THE OASIS erred in it's issue of Jan. 18th in stating that the quarantine laws effective at that date prohibited | importation of Sonora cattle. They can be brought in same as last year by special permits of the inspectors. 1 The paragraph of the quarantine pro- clamation bearing on the admission of Mexican cattle into the United States reads as follows:
 Cattle from the Republic of Mex ico may be admitted into the United | States te remain below the federal | quarantine line after inspection, ac- cording to law; but said cattle shall | not be permitten to cross said quar- antine line otherwise than by rail for immediate slaughter, except by spec. ial permit from the inspectors of the Bureau of Animal Industry, issued according to the regulations of the said bureau, and no permit shall be issued except for cattle free from spjenetic, or Texas fever, or from con- tact herewith during the three months preceding the issuance of said permit, and which have been grazed in a locality free from infection of such fever"

How TO Look Good.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital
organs. If the liver be inactive,
you have a bilious look; if your
stomach be disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys be
affected, you have a pinched look;
secure good health and you will
have good looks. Electric Bitters"

directly on the stomach, liver and

THE ONE MAN POWER.

amusing to watch the shadow OF
the zone man power" in ward No. 2
The local candidates in that ward,
all but one. are from his dictation.
The general candidates that must
represent both wards and belong to
the same power are known by their
associations.
A circumstance occurred last week
which was not lost to the ruling
power in said ward. Three colored
boys were arrested for killing fowls
which did not belong to them.
Here was an opportunity for foren-
sic display as a fifteen hundred dol
lar lawyer, aud in the second place
to crafty the old spirit of malice,
and last, but not least, a splendid
opportunity to secure the colored
vote, which they have always
in the past been Obliged to pur-
chase. A member of his family,
not from sympathy for the boys,
but to show loyalty to good govern
ment, went bail for the boys. If the
boys had selected good counsel
and left il with an honest Judge
and dispensed with a jury they
might have settled it for a few dol
lars, but when they asked for a IF
teen hundred dollar attorney and
his teacher or assistant, they must
expect to have a large bill to pay.
Boys, be wise in the future and
when you are hungry and want
fowls, work and earn them and take
them home and let mother cook
them for you and il will be much,
cheaper and better for your good
name and your people.

Subscriptions to the War Loan
ContributOry Causes.

New York. June 16-There was a gener-
al recovery in the stock market this
morning on a fair volume of business.
Better prices in London, the heavy SUBJ
scriptions to the new war loan, and the
satisfactory Encouragement of the Letter
deal, were the principal influences which
caused an improvement in the speculative
temper on comparatively small sales.
Tobacco moved swiftly up nearly five
points. The covering of shorts in Sugar
effected a rally of point and over. Ha-
waiian sugar opened up l IA per cent. fell
1-2 per cent and then rallied three
fourths per cent. There was continued
buying for London and commission house
business was better.
In Government bonds the new As were
one-half and the SIS one-fourth per cent
higher.
AT noon stocks were strong and higher.
Stocks for sale were scarce. The sales
looked like Chicago orders and with the
dullness discouraged the traders.
Many traders, but not many stocks in
sight up till noon. Short interest was
considerable. Keene was on the short
side and prominent operators were desir-
Gus of forcing out stocks.
