THEPROCLAMATION

The special dispatch to The Herald
from Santa Fe yesterday stating that
Governor OteTo had issued procla-
nation enacting a quarantine against
Texas cattle created lively discus
sion and much dissatisfaction among
local cattle dealers. The cattle men OF
FL Paso do considerable business with
the ranchmen of New Mexico and since
the quarantine has been put on the
interests of the local dealers will suf-
fer no little.
Lorion Miller. secretary of the FL
Paso Live Stock Commission company
when asked about its effect on the
trade this morning said: 1t is a bad
thing for the dealers both i'll Texas
and New Mexico. The cattlemen of
new Mexico sold off their cattle last
summer when the drouth was at its
worst and now their ranges are almost
clear of stock. They want to buy OF
pastures but the quarantine prevents
them. | have not seen copy of the
proclamation but | am sure the quar-
antine is uncalled for. If il is nor pol
itics | am at u loss 10 know what the
real cause is. | am convinced how
ever that the governor has hcer mis-
informed about the existence of The
ticks as there are fewer now than dur
ing the summer when they We're not
noticed. Both the state ana tie fed
eral governments have called off the
quarantine which is sufficient evidence
that there is no danger.
Mr.. Miller says the cattlcn.en of
New Mexico cannot endorse the move
as it will interfere with their business
anC can De of no benefit The
butchers II Albuquerque have been
buying their beef cattle from the
ranches around Maria and Valentine
and this may have caused the trouble.
II is understood. however. that the cat
tie of New Mexico are in bad condition
owing to the continued drouth and
are unfit for beef and the butchers
came to Texas for their cattle as it was
the nearest market.
