Following an investigation made by Of

Topeka & Santa F'e railway company Is
making a strenuous effort to have the
quarantine against San Francisco by the

Although no new case of the disease has
been reported for some time in that city,
State Health Officer Blount holds the
opinion that it is stin unsafe to lift the

1t is claimed by the people of FL Paso.
which is the principal gateway of Texas
from San Francisco, that the quarantine
IS not effectua and should be discon-
