 ARIZONA STOCK
Order Effective Today Pro hibits Unloading of Cat tie from Southwest While in Transit Through Sun flower State

Determined to bulldoZe Arizona stock quarantine against shipments from that state the live stock sani- tary commissioner of Kansas has is sued an order prohibiting the ac- ceptance of cattle from this state, or the unloading of cattle destined to points beyond. The order, which ap- plies also to shipments from Cali fornia, Colorado, Texas and New Mexico, becomes effective today Although no official notice of the action of the Kansas authorities has been received by the live stock sani- tary board, word of the Kansas ulti-
 matum and the fact that it would be put into effect without waiting to see whether Arizona would comply was received here yesterday morning 1 in telegrams to w. s. Goldsworthy general agent of the Santa Fe and A. C. Mcqueen, live stock agent of the same road, who at once communi- cated the information to Secretary 1 sam B. Bradner of the live stock sanitary board.
 We have not received any off cial notice as to the new regula- tAciio' oeilh sotNIClelN yes terday, and no action will be taken until the board meets Thursday Kansas and Missouri are dangerous territory as far as disease is con- cerned. Kansas has been infected and Missouri was entirely surrounded by infected states, so we feel that we must maintain some precautions against the introduction of the dis ease from that quarter. It would be well for those who are contemplat- ing shipping cattle to Kansas or through that state to wait for few days until the situation is cleared up."
 The telegram to General Agent |Goldsworthy of the Santa Fe from the live stock agent of the road at Kansas City reads follows:
 The live stock sanitary commis- sioner of Kansas states that unless Arizona modifies the restriction against live stock from Kansas re- taliatory measures will be taken by Kansas that will prohibit the ac- ceptance of cattle from Arizona to unload in Kansas when destined to states beyond. I suggest you get in touch as early as possible, this morn ing and advise me what action Ari- zona authorities will take toward modifying restrictions.
 The telegram to Live Stock Agent Mcqueen states that the Kansas reg ulatiOn will become effective May IS. It was stated last night that there are hundreds of carloads of cattle ready to move from Arizona points to Kansas City in the course of the next sixty days. providing prices at the Missouri river packing houses continue to improve.
 As an indication of the boards at titude. the following reply sent by Gov. Hunt last week to the acting governor of Missouri is reprinted herewith:
 Phoenix, Arizona, May F, 1915. Hon. Wm. R. Painter.
 Acting Governor of Missouri
 Jefferson City, Missouri
 Replying to your wire of the elev- enth instant, the Arizona quarantine restrictions do, in effect, prohibit the admission of shipments of live stock originating in Missouri.
 In view. however, of the evidence that foot and mouth disease has been almost completely eradicated, it is highly probable that the live stock sanitary board of Arizona will in the immediate future recommend such modification of quarantine restric-
 tiOns as will permit the entry of live stock from states in which there is
 no infection under certain provisional restrictions
 GEO. w. P. HUNT. Governor of Arizona.
