CATTLE DISEASE IN NEW ENGLAND

Cargoes Of Live Beef on the Way
From Boston viii Be
ousrantined.

Cable advlces from Liverpool state
that the establishment OF quaran.
tine on cattle and sheep in the New
England States and prohibiting their
export from Boston have caused much
excitement along the Mersey in Eng
land. The Mersey dock board derives
q large revenue from the slaughter Of
Boston cattle az Birkenhead. Man
ager Lairages. OF the board, says the
restrictions will have far-roaching
consequences, and that the cargoes of
cattle now on their way to Liverpool
from Boston will be quarantined. In
speaking of the effect OF the depart.
ment of agriculture's order Dr.
Samuel Il. Bennett, inspector Of the
United States Bureau Of Animal In
dustry. said: THE British govern
ment would close her ports to all our
ships on slight pretext. All that they
would look at is that there Is n foot
and mouth disease in the United
States. II makes no difference
whether the cattle are yarded in Mas
sachusetts or In Kansas or Iowa. 1t
was only a short time ago that the
Argentine Republic was shipping a
great many cattle to Liverpool. Those
ships were on the sea when the word
was carried ahead that there was u
cattle disease in the Argentine Repib-
lie. and when the vessels got there
they found every British port closed
against them. Those ships had to put
To sea, slaughter their cattle in mid
ocean and throw them overheard. The
ports were closed to them for three
years. In three years time that would
mean the loss Of upwards of 1000, 900
Of export cattle from the ports of the
United States" The Cunardar Sylvia
which sailed from Boston, Mass, for
Liverpool, was booked TO take 664 cat
tie and $50 sheep; Sycamore sailing
for Liverpool, 600 cattle, l,074 sheep.

Gus projected additions to mileage,

Thonoh no definite action was taken or

and purchase some suitabl site where
on may be erected two-storV brick
building, to remain the property otthe
Dawson lodges; the upper story to be
q large hall for lodge purposes, and
the lower story to be taken up by one
ar two stores. These could readily be
rented and would, of course, add to the
revenue of the lodges.
A committee of five members, one
from each lodge, WAS appointed to
circulate freely among all members OF
the FIVE organizations and ascertain the
concensus of opinion as to whether it
would be best to build, buy or rent.
