CATTLE OUTLOOK IS ALARMING
 OFFICIALS
(From Tuesdays Dailv.)

The drouth which is passing over portions of New Mexico and Texas Is so threatening in future consequences to the range industry, that action Is being taken on adviccs received from Washington to avert what may be disaster unless cattle are preserved.
 The situation was mentioned yes terday by Dr. F. B. Perrin, and his son, E. B. Perrin, Jr., both being in Prescott on official matter in connect ion with their large holdings of the Perrin Cattle Co.,, wherein this farm has been requested from tine capital to receive and care for a certain num- Der of beef animals consigned to their keeping. Dr. Perrin stated yesterday he was very anxious to heed the off cial adeiccs, and was jealous to con serve this food article, particularly at this time He had received at his Baca Grant holdings in Northwestern Yavapai the first shipment of 4,0OO head of Whitehead Herefords, this lot having been shipped from New Mexico in pitiablc condition. At the Barbacomari grant of this company situated near Fort Huachuca, 10 date 3,l00 head of the above breed have arrived, and it is believed several thousand more will be shipped just as soon as accommodation can be offered in range facilities. The Baca grant has been fenced in, but Dr. Per rin in an emphatic manner stated yes tcrday its resources arc now taxed 10 their capacity, and unless open coun- try adjacent was provided, in which watering places abound, 1t would be difficult for the government to apply a successful remedy.
 It is also reported Some exception ally interesting as well as drastic de- velopmcnt may be expected if the stern purpose of the government pre- vails 10 save the range beef industry, in which the holder or watering places under a Sqattcrs' right Is 10 receive an imperative demand to dcsist the practice, as the emergency Is arising to conserve cattle under any condi- tions, no matter what extremes may be necessary to resort to.

 We dwell on this question for the reason, among others, that the bills in question total sum in excess of S4,000. We are of the opinion that every item of this bill should be care fully checked over and substantiated before being paid.
 We have examined the county hos pital. We find this institution in cx- cellent condition in every way, but recommend that some new bedding be furnished for the inmates as it ap- pears to be needed at the present time.
