According to dispatches received at

be infested with diseases, to be shipped

Will Not Admit Cattle.
Poiitland, Fob. 12. It Is e.xtiemo
ly unlikely that cattle from southern
California will be permitted to enter
Oregon. Owing to the fact that many
of them are infected with a tick which
has proved fatal to cattle on Oregon
ranches, it Is unsafe to admit them
without strict quarantine and this In
volves an expense which the state is
not prepared to meet. The secretary
of agriculture has advised Governor
Chamberlain that it will be necessary
for all cattle coming Into the state from
California to be dipped, and kept under
supervision for 90 days.
"I do not see how these require'
ments can be complied with," said the
governor this morning. "If the gov
ernment was willing to pay the cost of
dipping the cat lie in quarantine, it

The following communication has
been addressed by Governor Chamber

in reply to the latter's request for the
admission of cattle from his state: i
"Governor George C. Pardee, Sacra

telegram of the 10th Inst, announcing
to me that drouth in southern Califor

if this state would admit your clean
cattle under federal supervision, and
in answer thereto I have this day wired
you as follows:
'We cannot consent to admission of
southern California cattle to Oregon,
unless they pass muster of strict state
quarantine regulations. Our ranges
are crowded and many stockmen are
feeding cattle now. Fears of Texas
fever and other diseases prevent com
pliance with your request.' I now con
