NOTICE TO CATTLE SHIPPERS

The federal government is making an earnest effort to put Nevada coun- ty above the quarantine line. It is possible for us to have a clean record at present if those who ship cattle from Nevada county will give us their cooperation.
 Nearly every carload of cattle shipped to St. Louis for the last two months has been free from fever ticks except for two or three head in each car. Every time the inspector in St. Louis finds ticky COW from Nevada county 1t gives us a black eye
 Hereafter l shall inspect all cattle for shipment and all infected cattle will be held in quarantine until dipped and freed from fever ticks.
 l am sure the shippers will give me their hearty cooperation in doing this as it will enable them to ship to the native pens.
 If shippers will dip all infected cat tie 3 or 6 days before shipment it will save them time and trouble. Mo. Pac. agents in Nevada county will notify me when cars are ordered and I will be present when cattle are to be load ed. would like for the shippers also to notify me.
 Very respectfully,
 J. M. THOMAS,
 Agent in Tick Eradication.

EXPLAINS DELAY OF
RED CROSS MAGAZINES

The following letter. dated February
Is. from the Red Cross magazine. will
serve to answer the many questions AS
To why copies for new subscribing
members have been delayed:
''Red Cross magazines have invaria-
bly, been mailed from here to Christ
mas drive subscribers within l0 days
after receipt of their names at this
office. And this has been done in
spite of the fact that nearly 450. 000
names have been received since Janu~
airy /. Every list has had to be count
ed and acknowledged to Chapter and to
Division headquarters Every name
has had TO be stencied, proof-read and
filed. The files have had to be ar
ranged alphabetically by postotfices.
Wrappers have been addressed, filled
with magazines and packed into mail
bags and delivered to the postofiice.
Four of the largest printing establish
ments in America have been manufac-
turing the magazines day and night.
Probably no other magazine has ever
had such task or such rapid growth
in circulation from 240 last July to
| 300, 900 now.
If, therefore, you have from as the
form acknowledgement of receipt Of
your lists, please do not write com
! plants concerning non-receipt of mag
azines, but bear m mind that the mag
azine class of mail is terribly congested
all over the country, that Transports
tion facilities are poor and in many
eases it is taking weeks for the post
offices and railroads to deliver mail
that is usually delivered in a few days.
Your patience in this will be very
much appreciated.

All Of eastern Oregon was cnce in
cluded in Wasco county, and as a
whole eastern Oregon made a better
showing than did western Oregon.
