troops within the Yosemite valley for patrol
purposes a permanent camp to be con-
Structed at Wawona; a systematic burning
of fallen and dead timber to prevent forest

Order Affecting Cattle Punchers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. G-Commissloner
General Powderly, of the Immigration
Bureau, has issued circular to all Off
Gals in interest to the effect that cattle
men sailing from ports Of the United States
must be examined at ports of departure and
described in a form of certificate which is
mailed by the examining office to the
United States consul or consular agent at
the foreign port of arrival, which certif-
cate is used by such officer to identify such
cattlemen upon their application for
turn passage to the United States. After
such Identification the certificate is deliv-
cred to the master of the vessel on which
the cattlemen return to be by him delivered
to the United States immigration officer
or collector of customs at the return port
in this country as proof of the cattlemen's
right to land. This certificate takes the
place OF a former one, the delivery of which
to cattlemen made 1t possible for them to
dispose of it to aliens who were not entitled
to land in this country. This circular, 1t is
thought, will prevent INSCRIPTIONS cattle
agents from swindling their employees out
of the return passage.
