Stock Inspectors. Messrs. C. J. Vyner, Percy Cowley, and C. D. Whitty, who have been sent by the New South Wales Department of Agriculture to gain practical knowledge of the ticks and tick fever in Queensland, arrived in Brisbane on Tuesday evening, and spent some time on Wednesday in the stock department, here, and at Mr. Pound's laboratory- The reason of their visit is that, although the officers of the department are theoretically acquainted with the plague io Queensland, it has been considered advisable that a more in intimate and practical acquaintance with it should be obtained by the inspectors working under Mr. Bruce's direction, They propose to leave Brisbane for Townsville on Saturday. It is then their intention to travel to Hughenden and inspect the experiments being carried on by Dr. Hunt. They will afterwards return to Rockhampton and proceed along the Central line to Longreach, investigating the methods of the dip construction and dipping cattle en route. It is probable that Mr. Pound will accompany the visitors on their tour. Western Star and Roma Advertiser 21 July 1897 Mr.Percy Cowley, a gentleman connected with the New South Wales Stock Department, has been in these western districts for some weeks past. Mr. Cowley has inspected the rabbit fence along the railway line to Charleville, and has been as far west as Windorah. The object of his visit is in connection with the proposed alteration in the boundary of inspection as to the condition of travelling stock, and particularly as regards the tick. He will report to his department in New South Wales. The idea, is, that as stock in this part of the country, particularly south of Roma, is free of the tick pest, it may be possible to treat the Western Railway line as a boundary or frontier, south of which line being accepted by the New Sonth Wales authorities as free of all taint, and such stock to be treated in going south as from part of New South Wales. The border line of inspection will therefore be the railway line, and all stock south of that line going to the stock markets of New South Wales will be allowed to pass unquestioned. Inspection will, however, be continued as regards all stock crossing the railway line. That is the idea, but whether it will be carried out or not remains to be seen. There is no tick pest in this neighborhood, but there is far away ,to the north. The railway line affords a well-defined boundary, one that can be easily managed, and if adopted tbe New South Wales officials will be placed along it at various stages. It will be no inconsiderable advantage to stock owners to the south to have, unrestricted access to the markets in the adjoining colony, and no additional hardship on stock owners to the north of the line. The border, so far as stock is concerned, is simply removed from Mungindi to the Railway line, which should be acceptable to everybody. How stock will be affected that are removed from a station north of the line to one on the south, without going to southern markets, we cannot say. Probably there will be trouble there. Mr. Cowley went down by train on Saturday, and probably some means will be devised to overcome any apparent difficulty as regards stock movements. NSW Govt Gazette 20 Sept 1898 TENDERS FOR FENCING.

JOSEPH COOK, Secretary for Mines and Agriculture. Kyogle Examiner 21 Nov 1914 Stock- owners in this district will regret that Mr. Percy Cowley has resigned the position of Supervising Inspector of Stock in the Quarantine Areas. Mr. Cowley was "approachable" at all seasons, and was always willing to lend a. sympathetic ear to complaints against the sytsem of quarantine administration. Although his policy has been adversely criticised in these columns, he was an officer of capacity, and the vacancy occasioned by his resignation will be hard to fill. Shifted to Lismore and was involved in Bamana growing for a few years before returning to Tick Control
