Sonora, and is said to be approved
by Arizona cattlamen, many of whom
have cattle on the Sonora ranges.
The quarantine was instigated after
Arizona authorities announced that
it would be necessary to quarantine
the Arizona-Sonora border if the
Mexican state permitted cattle to be
brought in from the infected areea.
Sonora, it is understood, is free of
scabies.
The infected area, according to re-
ports which have been received here,
is in the region near Chihuahua City
and Santa Rosalia wheer large num-
bers Of American herds were sent
during the extreme dry season Of
last year. The cattle were mainly
from the ranges in New Mexico and
west Texas and it is said that Carls-
bad herds carried the infection.
The majority Of Arizona cattle
which were removed to Mexican
ranges, were sent into Sonora and
many of the herds are still there.
Arizona cattlemen believe that. the
quarantine will result in the stamp
ing out of the disease in the Chi
huahua herds.

steamship Topa Topa. With the ex-
ception of the master, pilot, second

the crew of the Silvanus taken from

Several of those injured were on their
way to New Orleans to obtain medical
attention.
For several miles the river was lit

vessels struck each other. The Sill
vanus was moving south and the
Thomas H. Wheeler north when the
boats jammed together. Meanwhile,
wild stories of confusion and mangled
bodies lying on the dock of the 0. T..
Waring, following the explosion aboard
that vessel, went the rounds of the
wharf Wives and relatives of the
seamen crowded the docks and awaited
news of their loved ones. Fire engines
roared and dashed about, orders were
shouted in hoarse tones and small
boats ducked in and out of stern and
bow of the larger vessel.
The first explosion occurred about
O'clock this afternoon in the after
part of the ship about three hours
after it had been placed in the Jahncke
dry dock.
Three intonations followed the first
in quick succession and the fifth
sounded about 80 minutes later. Flames
leaped through the holds and mounted
as high as the stack. Great clouds OF
smoke arose.
The British ship Manx Isle of Liver

Douglas May is a former citizen of
Douglas and property owner here,
and declares that he will probably re-
turn to Douglas Report of the dona-
tion and attitude of the Tucsonite was
received with enthusiasm by the XII
wanians.
Leeson, who was invited to tell the
Kiwahians how the club could coop
crate with the farmers in the valley,
stated that the first thing to do was
to develop trade territory as every
business must stand on it's own feet
and have market for it's produce.
He emphasized that the first essential
for extending the territory was to
have good roads that the producer
might easily connect with the market.
According to Leeson, the improve
ment which the farmers need most to-
bring the valley under cultivation is
an electric power line.
The speaker insisted that a COM
munity must be broad in order to de-
velop trade territory. In elucidation,
he pointed out that the Cochise coun-
ty fair was one of the outstanding
events in this part of the country, and
big drawing card for Douglas which
was made a success by the co-opera-
tion of surrounding communities. He
suggested that Douglas return the
favor of cooperation to other COM
munities in their celebration Of the
Fourth of July. Along the same line
he considered it beneficial to Douglas
to advertise and boost surrounding
resorts whose patrons were shoppers
in Douglas.
Leeson reported that the agricul-
tural situation which had been fine
before the war, but suffered a slump
since, was beginning to improve. Ac-
cording to his statement, alfalfa is
the best paying crop with the present
price of hay, but corn, maize, sweet
potatoes and other crops suitable to
location and soil can be grown to an
advantage. Broom straw cauld and
would be produced in great quantities
if there were a large broom factory
available.
He stressed the point that what
helped Douglas citizens would help
the farmer and other communities in
Cochise county. What .affects one part
of the county affects another, and the
way to progress is to build up busi-
ness and resorts, and not attempt to
pull up one community by pulling
