Guthrie. o. T., Jan. 5.-The proclama-
ton issued from Washington by Secre-
tary Wilson placing all of Oklahoma
below the federal quarantine lire, has
caused great big roar to go up from
the cattlemen ard stockmen of this ter
ritory. To this trade the removal of
the line means from $4,000 TO $1,000 in
cash TO every county il effects, when
made permanent. However. it is a sure
thing that this is only temporary.
In fact. Secretary Beemblossom, of the
Sanitary Commission. explains that this
proclamation is incomplete and that a
circular letter will be received by him
shortly, giving the provisions in the pro-
clamation which will put certain parts
of Oklahoma above the federal line again.
On the other hand. Senator John
H.ckam, while here today, said:
Yes, it is true. Secretary Wilson has
placed Oklahoma entirely below the fed
eIal line. Or rather, the time in special
order creating special line has expired
and the old federal line. or the Kansas
state line, is again in effect.
II believe Governor Ferguson has the
te
terday's Eagle. The thing to do is TO put
up a bar against Indian territory and
Texas, and do away with the open sea-
son. Then clean up the herds already in
Oklahoma and Secretary Wilson will most
gladly place all of Oklahoma above the
federal lire.
We in Payne county are especially de-
sirous of getting above the line, as il
means from s. TO SIS difference on every
ccw. This legislature is expected to take
up the matter and make an appropriation
allowing for six or eight inspectors to
lock after the work in a conscientious
manner
1t is the belief here that as soon as
the territory is cleaned up, Mr.. Wilson
will act. March is the date on which
IL is hoped that he will put all Of Okla
hCna above the line for good
The governors action is generally ap
proved. and DR.. Beemblosscm. speaking

behind the middle, with two lonitudinal
impressions above this contraction. and
three below it. more especially visible in
the dried specimen. The head is short
and broad. not spined behind. with two
deep round pits. Lips are short and
broad: jaws are smooth above, with ter
minal hooks. Their legs are long and
slender. pale testraceous red. The length
o the body is Is OF an inch. while they
are 07 of an inch broad.
Now. our ticks differ somewhat from
this, but they are practically the same
These small parasites are on the grass
