NEW QUARANTINE
 REGULATIONS IN EFFECT

Acting upon the recommendation of 1 the livestock sanitary board, Governor Hunt yesterday issued the following quarantine proclamation, admitting shipments of livestock from all the territory west of the Mississippi, with the exception of the counties of Sum- ner, Cowley, Sedgwick and Butler in Kansas. The importation of cattle from the State of Sonora, Mexico, is strictly prohibited. The proclamation follows:
 Whereas, the foot and mouth dis ease, which was recently prevalent in many parts of the United States, has been eradicated in great measure as result of the highly effective efforts of the bureau of animal industry of the United States government, so that the livestock interests of Arizona are not subjected to the same danger of infection that has existed for many months heretofore;
 Whereas, the livestock sanitary board of the State of Arizona after making a careful survey of the situa- tion with the cooperation of both the Federal and state veterinary officers, have reached the conclusion that the quarantine restrictions heretofore in effect should be so modified as to allow greater freedom in the shipment of livestock and various commodities from the different states of the union into the State of Arizona, without thereby subjecting domestic animals of this state to the risk of infection from foot and mouth disease, and has incorporated its opinion in a resolu- tion filed with the executive depart ment;
 "Now, Therefore, I George w. P. Hunt, governor of Arizona, by virtue of the authority in me vested by law, and in accordance with the resolution of the livestock sanitary board, do hereby proclaim that the importation of livestock, anti-hog cholera serum and hog cholera virus from all states east of the Mississippi river into the State of Arizona, shall be prohibited, unless the state veterinarian of Ari- zona shall have issued a special per init upon application duly made, au- thorizing the entry of such livestock, anti-hog cholera serum or hog cholera virus.
 It is further proclaimed that no articles packed in hay or straw, from any infected district, shall be import ed into the State of Arizona, unless the material used in packing shall have been thoroughly disinfected un- der the supervision of the proper state or Federal authorities.
 shipments of livestock, anti-hog cholera syrum or hog cholera virus originating in any part of Kansas ex- cepting the counties of Sumner, Cow ley, Sedgwick or Butler, shall be al- lowed entry into the State of Arizona only after the issuance of a special permit of the state veterinarian of Arizona, who shall, prior to the issu- ance of such permit, fully convince himself that the admission of such shipments would not endanger, through infection, the livestock indu- stry of the State of Arizona. The importation of livestock, anti-hog cholera serum or hog cholera virus having their origin in the counties of Sumner, Cowley, Sedgwick or Butler, of the State of Kansas, shall not be allowed by permit or otherwise.
 "All cars used in transporting live stock from districts or localities where foot and mouth disease has been pre- valent during the past year, into the State of Arizona, must be thoroughly disinfected under the supervision of the proper state or Federal veterinary officer.
 By the provisions of this procla- l hiheioIi, tHC iiipOIldtlOu Ol IVeSlOCk from the State of Sonora, republic of Mexico, into the State of Arizona, is strictly prohibited. From this date forth no permits for the entry of live stock from the State of Sonora, re- public of Mexico, into the State of Arizona, shall be issued.
 "The terms and prohibitions of this proclamation supersede all quarantine proclamations heretofore issued, and are mandatory henceforth upon all transportation companies and individ- uals who may have occasion, or shall desire to import, secure the importa- tion of, or apply for the shipment of livestock anti-hog cholera syrum, hog cholera virus, or articles packed in hay or straw. into the State of Ari- zona.
