what they want to know by applying to
the clerk of the district court Judge
Street yesterday issued an order direct
ing Water Commissioner TrOtt to make
monthly reports to the district clerk
on the tenth of each month, showing

OF INTEREST TO STOCKMEN.-In
a late communication to the South
western Stockman, DR.. j. c. Norton,
territorial Veterinarian, wrote: TIE
lately on "Blackleg." its causes. treat
ment, prevention, etc, are along the
right line and should be read by every
intelligent stockman. But l wish to
emphasize one particular point, and
that is that the carcasses, including
the litter of every animal dying from
blackleg should be burned. If such
are allowed to be eaten and
carried about by dogs, or even buried,
you are only planting the germs which
will multiply in the SOIL to be again
taken up by susceptible animals. Only
this week a stockman of Phoenix al
lowed three such carcasses to be eaten
by dogs and birds. The live stock san
tary board has not seen fit to take any
action as to controlling blackleg, ex-
cept to insist on people disinfecting af-
ter diseased animals, which should al
