Ask enforcement
OF QyARANT!NELAW
Sonora Cattlemen Prepare
Petition to the Federal
Government.

Douglas. Ariz-. June 17.-Cattlemen
Of Sonora met in Cananea Sunday for
the purpose Of petitiOning the Mexi-
can government to rigidly enforce the
quarantine laws. Under the present
system. the state Of Sonora is partially
under quarantine on account OF the
fever tick. Cattle from these infected
districts cannot be sent into the Unit
ed States. On this account some OF the
cattle owners are said to have INDUCED
in sharp practices in trying to pass
stock from quarantine districts into
what is termed as the clean district
The result Of this is that rigid quaran-
tine laws are to be put in operation
by the United States government to
stop the Importation Of infected or ex-
posed cattle
It is the purpose OF cattlemen hav-
ing their ranges in the clean territory
to see that the Mexican quarantine
laws are not only rigidly enforced, but
TO see that no cattle which have been
exposed to the tick are allowed to
cross their ranges. In this manner they
hope not Onl ytO improve the condi-
tiOns in exporting their stock, but
eventually to wipe out the fever tick
pest in the northern section Of Mexico,

"HE capture Of Louisburg by s-r
William Pepperin and his New
England farmers and fishermen
157 years ago today will always be
reckoned among the most wonderful
OF military achievements The men
who did the business could hardly
make themselves believe that they had
actually accomplished the task. and to
this dav the whole thing seems far
more fiction than fact
Louisburg, on the southeast side OF
Cape Breton island, holding as il did
a most commanding position with ref
erence to France, Canada and the West
indies, had been fortified by the French
until they felt quite justified in calling
It the Gibraltar Of America" More
than $4,000 600 had been spent upon
its defences, and 1t is safe TO say that
with the exception Of Gibraltar and
Quebec there was not a stronger place
in the world. The French felt per-
fectly secure in their stronghold, and
probably there was not a military man
in the world who would not have said
that the French were fully Justified IN
their feeling Of safety.
Now. the New England fishermen and
1umbermen thought they saw in Louis
burg a menace to their business, and
they began talking Of the capture OF
the impregnable fortress Inc propo-
sitiCm was made TO governor Snlrleys

periments he made the voice audible at
a distance Of three miles. Other ex-
perimenters have achieved a certain
degree Of success But Mr. Grindeu-
Matthews appears to have outstripped
them all. The difficulties are purely
technical. arising mainly from the fact
that while almost any series Of electric

signals, particular form Of wave,
