In the valley two herds have been recently handled, Webb Bros. and Miller Bros. herds, and the dipping was not attended with loss or trouble.
 The formula used by Dr. Selleck is as follows: To make 800 gallons of dip: Arsenic 8 ID, washing soda 25 10, soap 25 10, pine tar two gal Ions The method of mixing and preparation Is to boil the arsenic and washing soda in 20 gallons of water for fifteen minutes. The soap is dis solved in boiling water and the pine tar poured into this. All the in gradients are then thoroughly mixed together with enougs hot water added to make mp fifty gallons. This makes the dip and it is sufficient to 1u1ake a 800 gallon lot of dipping fluid strong enough to put the ticks out of business without hurting the stock. This fact is borne out by the ex- perience of A B. Foster. rancher of Pamo valley, given elsewhere.
 Dr. Selleck has just visited Campo and Jacumba. The latter place is infested country and it seems it will be a long time before it is cleaned up.

 The principal stock road Npm I'm perial valley to San Diego is through this Jacumba country. and con stant watch has to be kept else the ticks would be picked up by travelling mobs and spread through the country lower down.
 Much care has to be used by the in handling the matter on the Mexican border. as there is all ways danger of complications.

 COMPLAINTS MADE. - Marshall Moore says that numerous business men of the city have complained to him against the continuance of the little open window restaurant main tained in the front of the Q. T. saloon on the corner or First avenue and Washington. The complaints are not against the character of the place or those who run it but merely against the conducting of the business on the sidewalk It is a little window cut in the front of the building, through which the cook serves hamburgers, sandwich es and other small lunches, the patron standing or sitting on the sidewalk to enjoy his purchase. The offended ones declare it is a violation of the Ordin- ance confining business men to the occupancy of three feet of space on the sidewalks for the display of goods, though in this case the vendor is en- tirely within the property line and only his customers are on the sidewalk. The marshal says he is in doubt about the of the ordinance and does
 not care to act until the return of the city attorney to whom the matter will be referred.

was to be retired. and that some OF them
advised him to accept the transfer while
West said no more consideration will be
