DISCUSS QUARANTINE LAW

The members Of livestock sanitary
boards Of Kansa and Oklahoma had a
meeting IN the pa Tlors Of the Carey hotel
last night The principal object of the
meeting was to tscu IS ways and means
Of obtaining better results from the quar-
antine laws in the Two states As it stands
now the federal Government allows an
open season when cattle infected with
Texas fever viii go over the quarantine
line. The members Of the commission
and the cattle men generally north OF
the quarantine line want the government
TO abolish this open season and thus do
away with any possibility of the tick liv-
ing If the country north Of the Texas
line. As it stands noxv so far as the gov
eminent is concerned cattle may come
north. In Greer county the tick may live
through the winter and the next year
the cattle Of that country be infected
again by other cattle coming in during
the winter Now the Oklahoma commits
sion has established their quarantine line
south of the line Of the government line
SO this viii be shut off.
Another point taken up was the cost Of
inspection to the state ana cattle men
How to lessen the cost WAS taken up and
the best methods of inspection and how
10 eliminate the dangers OF infection to
the northern cattle. Two commissions
cannot act together in the matter dis
cussed, but each can take separate action
and thus bring about the desired result
The members OF the Oklahoma board
are 0. c. French. secretary: Thos Morris
and W E. Bolton. The members of the
Kansas board are NJ c Campbell. Mr.
Oh 9mberlain and Mr.. CowleY The last
two We're represented by J. p. Campbell
and Taylor Riddle.
Mr.. W 7. Bolton, secretary Of the
Okla hOma Livestock association. is here.
He met with the men who fill have
chars e Of the entertainment of the cattle
men attending the convention Of cat
tleme which IS to De held in this city
FohrlI ary 10. II and IS. He will leave here
for Gu icago where he win attend the Ma
tiona] Csttlemen's convention which is
10 be held there during the next week.
Mr.. Boz ton is a member of the executive
commit &c of The convention. While he
is on tn trip he viii incidentally adver-
tise the convention which is to be held
here. Mr. Bolton is very enthusiastic over
the pros lects of the convention and
thinks III, it with Wichita's accommoda-
TORS ougl 1t to be the greatest kind of
success.
The cat lie business is no small bust
ness and ve ~ few of the Wichita people
realize that they are up against 10 greater
proposition than the Street Fair ever
was" said n n Bolton last evening. ''The
cattle busines s is not confined TO any one
section os TIE country. 1t includes every
state and terri tory in the Union and COM
prises over 70 rty per cent Of the entire
property valus ltiOn of the country. The
amount of mon ey necessary TO handle the
business of the. cattle men is greater than
all tho money o aid out 20 employ travel
ms statesmen. The cattle men must have
yards, guarantees and ali the necessary
officers with which 10 protect themselves
in the various ways in which they need
protection There are ten cars of cattle
shipped to other kind of goods"
Rules Cor the safe handling of live
stock enga ges the attention of the diff
tcIeat legislatures of the country. There
must be sanitary boards and associations
TO see that proper rules are made to gov
ern the trade and extend the markets TO
different countries To see that the cat
tie are kept from disease and a thousand
and one other things that the stockmen
only understand The railroad companies
fully appreciate this and are always ready
to give the cattle men all of the assist
ance that they can in the way of trans
portation because it is from them that
they secure The greater part of their ship
ping.
"One OF the greatest questions before
the American people today is the market
ing OF their meat Germany is now dis
eliminating against us because she fully
realizes what strong competitor the
American is. The traffic is steady and
continuous one and the people of Wichita
don't half realize what "a great thing it is
Tor them.
