Order Is Very Stringent and Situ- ation Is Made Worse By the Presence of Many Animals in Army Camp.

Bisbee Douglas and Cochise coun- ty is facing a serious live stock feed famine as result of the embargo placed upon the importation of that commodity from all states. The em- bargo Is placed in hope the foot and mouth disease win spread no further west The embargo went nto enect some days ago and was issued by the live stock sanitary board and signed by 5overnor G w. P Hunt.
 On Che face of the embargo it would not seem that amy serious ef- fleets might be had from it, but when it Is considered that Coohise county ships in practically every pound of live stock feed with thc possible eX- ceDUon of some hay. the situation takes on a different color altogether
 Two weeks supply. it is conserva- uyely estimated. is in Cochise county of Barley bran, corn and chops. wheat oats and mixed poultry food By one that time it is a problem what win be fed in the county
 E .C. Campbell head Of tho gro cerg department of the phelps-Dodge Mercantile company and in better tposi-ion GO know the stock on hand. is responsible for the figures given. According to Campbell the figures are conservative and represent the gross amounts on hand and ready for sale
 Tine commercial club directors met in special session last night to con slider the problem that has arisen over the embargo. A committee. consist ing Of F. C. Campbell l.. J. Overlook and b w. Beddow was appointed to investigate the condition and was siv- eu lnil power to act in the premises
 The embargo has been placed not only on all stock feed but on an 1.-Two stoCz and live poultry as we'll Texas. New Mexico aHd California have talk. en similar measures and Arizona is the last of the Southwestern states to take the steps It has been suspect ed that grain carries the germs of the foot and mouth disease as well as live stock and consequently the ban is IIaced upon that
 Another question has arisen by the fact that @ great many products are shipped into the state packed II hay and in straw Several days ago BuX. ton-Smith the produce company. re. oeived a shipment of bananas from a southern port The fruit was packed in straw and the car was stopped T. was shown the live stock sanitary board that the shipment started be fore the embargo went into effect and special permit was issued 10 let the bananas through The commis sion specified as one of the condi tions however that an of the straw used in the car be taken and burned
 Another feature of the condition. faced n ths county is the immens, |. supply of feed needed to supply the horses Of the military camp at Doug

 ed for Douglas. These the state an thoriues win not allow to enter fh, 9 state
 D or hay there is little cause for wor b ny n any part of Arizona as immens, U quantities are now in the Salt Rive .- and Gila valleys awaiting sale snt D shipment The embargo does not al d feet the local market in that respect g It is suspected that a great dea d of actual feed and also other mel 3. chandise packed in nay and destine

 by the railroads at the order of th
 board This will be investigated b. Pc the committee of the commercia e club.
