Quarantine Against
Sheep and Cattle

Orders have been issued by the
Canadian customs authorities at Van
couver and other British Columbia
ports. declaring a quarantine against
all American live stock except horses.
The prevalence of the hoof and mouth
disease is assigned as the reason. OF
flcials of the United States Bureau of
Animal Industry at Washington are
quoted as saying that the disease was
stamped out within six weeks after it
which was about the middle
of October.
During the six weeks. 3, 6O5 AMI
mails died from the effects of the dis
ease according to the government re-
ports. These we're located in two
counties in Michigan, five in New
York. fifteen in Pennsylvania. and
one in Maryland. 154 farms being
in the trouble. No cases
we're reported in this state. No states
are excepted from the order. however.
which includes all cloven hoof ami
mails. For years past sheep have con-
,tituted one of the largest items OF.
export from this county.

with evident sincerity and earnestness.
The Palmer bill. making the precinct
the unit and sxemptinR cities of the
first. second and third classes. is sup
ported by most of the members from
the larger cities and by some others,
but present indications are that the
more radical county bill will pass the
house, at least. Under it's provisions
it county votes ''dry.' no precinct
can hold separate election and vote
"wet." but if the county as a whole
votes "wet." any precinct may hold
q separate election and go ''drv.''
Mr.. BuRRe is member of the fish
cries and game committees. as we'll as
several others. as announced in this
paper last week. He does not look
for any radical legislation affecting
the fishing industry, but thinks it
altogether probable that there will be
some important changes in the game
laws. Many game bills have been in
troduced in both huoses, all of which
have been referred to conference
committee. of which be is q member.
He expects bis bill prohibiting the
taking of game from the island count
les to be incorporated In the new Law
and hopes for the enactment of q
measure that will prevent the wanton
slaughter of gam at any time by
either resident or non resident hunt
-rs. He does not oppose the estab
lishment of q closed season of several
years for deer. but on the contrary
favors it and says that he haas no
doubt that the new law will provide
for q closed season or four or five
years on all the islands of the state.
He is supporting the Myers senate bill
which provides for closed season on
der and caribou for four years.
Referring to the proposed acquire
ment of the summit Of Mt. Constitu
tion as state park through the pur
chase OF the Hilton tract OF forty
acres Mr.. Buggs said he would very
much like to see it done and will do
all he can to further the project, but
he has little hope that the legislature
can be induced to take such action
at this session. for the reason that
official reports indicate pretty strong
ly that necessary appropriations for
the maintanance of th~ state govern
ment and established institutions
during the next two years will call
for considerably more than the states
total estimated revenues during that
period. 1t is expected that the appro-
priations COMMITTEES will make large
in maintanance estimates
for state institutions and that bills
calling for appropriations that may
be classed a5 ''unnecessary" will
stand little chance of passage.
