the United States department Of agri-
culture, order No. 30. Of the bureau Of
animal industry, which defines the Ma
tional Livestock quarantine line for 1901
No change Is made in the line as affect
ing Oklahoma. Indian Territory. Texas,
or Kansas. The retention of that part
Of the national line traversing Oklahoma
is regarded with great satisfaction BY
Secretary Candy as reimbursement Of
the line recommended by the Oklahoma
board and as testimonial to the eff
cheney Of Oklahoma inspection. This Inc
leaves south Of 4 the counties OF Paw
nee, Noble Logan. Payne, Lincoln, Pott-
awatomie, Cleveland and Oklahoma, the
Kiowa and -Comanche ana the Wichita
country. In one effort to clean that
part Of Oklahoma lying between the ma
tional quarantine line and the eastern
boundary, a statutory line has been es-
tabhshed coincident with the eastern
and southern boundaries OF the territory.
1t is hoped earnestly to so thoroughly
clear the region of infection between the
two lines mentioned as to draw the ma
tonal line about the entire territory
Meanwhile, a third line. to include Noble.
Logan. and Oklahoma counties had been
previously established by the board, bat
at a. recent meeting was abrogated tenn
porarlly owing to the contingency Of the
badly infected Usage country to Noble
county and to a certain alleged discrim-
nation Of the officers nanother county
to prosecute offenders. But Secretary
Candy is confident that with proper CO
operation on the part Of county authori-
ties this provisional line may De re-es-
tablished There might De "open sea-
son" the entire year on this line.
The order OF the department Of agri-
culture establishing the national line
through Oklahoma IS in full as follows:
Beginning on the Red river at the
southeast corner Of the county of Greer;
thence northerly following the course of
the North Fork of the Red river to its
intersection with the southern boundary
line Of Roger Mills county along the
western boundary lines Of the Apache,
Comanche, and Kiowa Indian Reserva-
tons; thence east along the southern
boundary lines Of Roger Mills and
Washita counties to the intersection with
the boundary line Of the Wichita indian
Reservation on the Wichita river; thence
north along the western boundary line
Of said reservation to its northwest
corner at its intersection with the Cana
dia nriver in the county of Greer; thence
in southerly direction along the course
Of said river and the northern boundary
Of the Wichita Indian reservation to the
northeast corner Of said reservation:
thenceeactrly along the southern boun-
dairy Of Canadian county to the south
east corner OF said county; thence north
along the eastern boundary lines Of Ca
nadia nand Kingfisher counties to the
northeast corner of Kingfsher county:
thence east along the southern boundary
of Garfield county to the southeast Ger
ner Of said county; thence north along
the eastern boundary of Garfield county
to the northeast corner of sal dcounty;
thence east along the southern boundary
line Of Kay county to the west line of the
Ponca Indian reservation; thence north
along the west line Of said reservation
to the northwest corner of said reserva-
ton; thence east along the northern
boundary OF the Ponca Indian reserva-
ton to the Arkansas river; thence in a
northerly direction following the course OF
the said river to its intersection with the
parallel of north latitude
at the southern boundary line Of Kan
sas.
And whereas said quarantine line. as
above set forth. is satisfactory to this
department. and legislation has been en-
acted by the Territory of Oklahoma to
enforce said quarantine line, therefore
the above quarantine line is adopted for
the Territory of Oklahoma by this de-
partment for the period beginning on
January !, 1901 and ending December 81.
1901. in lieu Of the quarantine line de-
scribed in the order of December 10. 1909. /
