THE CATTLE QUARANTINE. Governor Chamberlain has been ap pealed to by Governor Pardee of Cali fornia, and Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural Department, to allow starving cattle from Southern Cali fornia to be brought into Oregon. The Plaindealek trusts that Gover nor Chamberlain will refuse to allow the cattle to come into this state to the great detriment and danger to the cattle business of Oregon. Our reason for opposition is not based up on selfishness, but for the protection of our cattle raisers. It has been suggested, that the cattle from South ern California be dipped to kill the fever -tick and thus remove all possi ble danger to Oregon cattle, but the writer has seen many of the dipping preparations made under the govern ment formula and at government ex pense, tried, and has seen the cattle before and after going into the dip ping vats, and this we can positively assert: any dipping preparation made strong enough to Mil all the ticks on cattle will Mil the cattle also. At Fort Worth, Texas, where ex periments were made with solutions strong enough to Mil ticks, the cat tle died afterwards. We remember two cars of cattle that were dipped, we think it was four years ago this spring, just before the open season expired and quarantine commenced. The cattle were shipped 350 miles northwest of Fort Worth on the railroad and from thence were driven to a pasture, and of these cat tle only one survived. A few days after the dipping the skin became Lard and then broke in cracks all over the animals' bodies, and one after another they died. There were three carloads shipped further north west into the Texas Panhandle and three carloads were dipped and shipped to a point near Midland on the Texas Pacific railroad. Of the second lot only three survived, and of the cattle shipped to Midland, when we wrote about the cruelty in flicted on the cattle, only thirteen were then living. It was the assault made on the cattle-dipping business, by the writer, and an appeal to the Humane Society, that broke up the experimental business by the govern ment to Mil ticks by means of a hot solution of bi-carbonate of soda, pe troleum and animal oik Any solu tion known to science strong or caus tic enough to Mil a Southern cattle fever tick is strong enough to Mil the outside-coating of the animal's sMn, and a solution not strong enough to do this will not Mil all the ticks, and one female Southern fever tick by her increase is sufiicient to Mil a whole herd of Northern cattle. We know that many men, even cat tlemen, will pooh pooh at such a Btatement. We used to do so, but, like many another man, laughed to our own undoing. We had a ranch where we raised pure-bred Shorthorn cattle. A number of cattle south of the quarantine line had been smuggled over and they were unloaded at Ama- rillo, Texa3, and driven two mile3 and were watered at a creek in our pasture. Some of the fat, corpulent ticks fell off the cattle and com menced to propagate, and in forty- five days' time our cattle, which were free from ticks, commenced to die and did die at such an alarming rate that the government sent special in spectors who quarantined not only our pasture, but one-fourth of the county, and a strip of country through which the smuggled cattle passed, thirty miles wide and 200 miles long. Our loss was so great that it practi cally put us out of the cattle business. Now, there was not a single head of cattle that died that did not have young Southern ticks on them, and on the cattle that escaped none were found. We had another adjoining pasture in which we raised pure-bred Hereford cattle and, strange to say, of this herd we did not lose a single head except one registered bull, that bad broken through tbe fence to get into the Shorthorn pasture after the Southern cattle had been taken away. He died with Texas or Southern fever. We could give all the scientific ex planations and research into Southern or Texas fever, but that would be too long for this issue. Suffice to say, we hope that Governor Chamberlain will stand by the cattlemen of Ore gon and-not allow a single head of oattle from Southern California to tiass the line. We ask our readers pardon for referring to personal ex perience, but that experience cost us the profit of ten years' successful work, and if we can save the catflo men of Oregon from loss, by giving our actual knowledge and experience, that most bitter bought experience will not have been acquired in vain. PENDLETON GAMBLERS. Pendleton-, Or.. Feb. 13 The gamb lers arrested at the instigation of Dis trict Attorney E G llailey last night were arraigned this afternoon before Judge Ellis Twenty-seven plead guilty and those, for their first offense, wero fined If 20 and costs, and others who had been arraigned a short time ago were fined 75 and costs. All paid with the exception of two or throe. Hniloy gave the gamblers a scathing lecture, declar ing that as long as ho was District At torney ho would permit no gambling in Pendleton, and if any of those arrested were found operating again ho would give them the limit of the law. He a'so said that it would be of no use for them to effect a combination with the city of ficials, notwithstanding the fact that the city could use gambling licenses to good advantage. Many of the transient gamblors have left the city, as.they realize that Hailey is making no bluff this time. Hailey has warned them ad to pack up their paraphernalia and leave as soon as pos sible. This afternoon nineteen other gamb lers' were arrested who have been bound over for apjearance on Monday. That District Attorney and Judge are doing good work for Oregon and it proves the Plaindealer conten tion that gambling is entirely under the control of the District Court and that to regulate such matters to the various City authorities is simply an effort to shirk responsibility by the various District Courts. There is not a District Court in the State of Ore gon that could not break up gamb ling if it wanted to do so. Secretary Hay's Chinese Policy Adopted. Washington, Feb. 14 Secretary Hay added another to his long list of diplomatic triumphs, and the United States is once more enabled, by his diplomacy, to head the nations in a concurrent effort to preserve the in tegrity of China. Mr. Hay's note of February 10 to Russia and Japan, urging them to confine hostilities within as small an area as possible and to respect the neutrality and ad minstrative entity of China will be ac cepted by Russia as well as by Japan and all the nations will join the Wash ington Government in inviting the combatants to agree to the proposi tion. M. Jusserand, the French Ambassa dor, called upon Secretary Hay today at. his residence to inform him official ly of France's acceptance and inferen- tially it is known that Russia's ac quiescence will be communicated very soon. At the Russian Embassy to night, no intimation had been re ceived of the government's probable answer to Secretary Hay's note, but Count Cassina, the Russian Ambassa dor, will inform Secretary Hay as soon as St. Petersburg advises him. Acceptance by the powers of the Washington Government's suggestion will be followed by a further ex change of views as to the practica bility of the suggestion, to the prin ciple of which all have- given their adherence. As the note is of the most general character, it will be necessaay to discuss at some length the possibilities it contains. It is generally understood that hos tilities will be confined, so far as China is concerned, to Manchuria, Shan Hai Kwan probably marMng the western boundary of the theater 'of action. No official definition has yet been given to the term "administra tive entity." It i3 not expected that a treaty will be necessary to execute Secretary Hay's proposition, but that an exchange of notes will suffice. Russia's decision to acquiesce was reached after consultation with sev eral European powers. It is under stood that M. Delcasse brought strong pressure to bear at St. Petersburg in support of the note, and that Ambas sador Portor, at Paris, was most act ive in obtaining France's approval. The London government, it is ex pected, will not be inclined further to inquire as to the details of the proposition. It ha3 been known for several days that England adhered to the principle. The formal acceptance of the other powers, it is expected will follow rap idly, but the success of the proposi tion is assured by the decision of Rus sia and Japan to agree to it.

The following regarding "A Modern Magda len" is worthy of attention from one of the most critical papers between San Francisco and New York. "The strongest play and decidedly the best production of the season is the plain truth regarding 'A Modern Magdalen,' presented by the Shirley company at the Grand last evening. Tho setting in the third act was beyond question the beat ever eeon on the local stage, not even excepting "Sherlock Holmes." Miss Shirley took her difficult role easily. In the first act she showed that semi-quiescence was not a matter of temperament with her, but the result of carefully studied expression. In other words, she is at all times rational and natural. Even in her scene with the eo- called reformer she stepped into tho ar tificial light so gracefully that the effort almost passed unnoticed. The Daily rlerald, Salt Lake." Reward I Reward!
