Cattle Not Quarantined.

Dear Sir:
With except loan of two bands of
sheep, have been kept un the jump
Inspecting tho cattle on tho way to
Montague, as Klamath Falls aud
Foe Valley are directly Iu the path
of tho many bauds to come off the
Reservation and from lako and
Klamath Counties. There being so
many small bands and coming from
different localities 1 am unable to
reach all tne cattle going through,
especially too as many of tho trail
ers aro an yet uuaciiiialuted with the
new regulation reiiulrlng Inspection.
Tho report circulated to tho effect
that tho Inspector at Montague had
held up and quarantined cattle at
that point Is a mistake aud though
it resulted lu temporarily stopping
tho movement of a few bands (own
ers being afraid to trust their stock
within any quarantined district)
tho movement has boon again re
sumed and stock Is going from bill
ing point to destination, If free of
disease, without molestation. Tho

Moving Picture Show.
The Edward iuuleal and moving:
picture show played to a fairly good,
house In the hall last Friday night.
They bad a good picture machine.
Mr. Fox sang till be was hoarso aud
could not respond to the enchore
imy longer, which fairly raised the
celling at tho end of each song.
Cobb Henkle was there and appre
ciated the singing very much. The

for bin money when tho show has
gone. Why can't we have a rest for
a while.
