PACIFIC COAST XEWS. 1ST MAIL AM TKUK:iCAI,H rrl Towum-uiI Ilrni. Pout, TowxMtM, Jan. 12. The barkentiue Emma Augusta arrived vesterday from the Sandwich Is lands,. "While coming out of the liarbor of Taihului she run on a reef and sustained a slight injury. Captain Mclntyie, of the bark Kevere, has succeeded in finding a leak in the garboard, and the vessel s now receiving her coal ballast preparatory to loading with lumber. On Monday evening a hail and slight wind storm prevailed here, rhile in Port Gamble and Seabeck and all along the shores of Hoods canal snow fell to the depth of from three to eight inches. The weather here to-day was mild and pleasant; wind north. The Mormon Delegate. Submitted to the crucial test of technical law, none are prepared to say whether the decision of Governor Murray of Utah, in (le aving' a certificate of election to George Q. Cannon, as a delegate to congress, would stand or not. Every one but a polygamist would admit its justice, however. It is a matter of common report that Cannon has three or four wives, and it is as well known as can be that hundreds, if not thousands, of other Mormons are often wedded and living in open violation of the laws of the county; and yet, s hedjred in are the members of that church, that it is found to be al most an impossibility to convict a polygamist in a court of justice. I lie aravamen of the indictment against Cannon is contained in the allegation of Allen G. Camp bell, who is contesting seat. It sets forth, to-wit: That he is not a citizen of the United States, and being a polyga mist, is not capnble of becoming u citizen in good faith. This is a brief but pertinent presentment of the whole matter. Cannon claims that he was duly naturalized twenty -six years ago. If Campbell can make it appear that he was never naturalized at all, this will be sufficient to unseat him, even were the certificate of election given him, which Gover nor Murray refuses to issue. His refusal is based on the plea that a careful perusal of the county records, about the time Cannon as serts he was naturalized, fail to disclose any such fact. The cer tificate of election was therefore issued to Allen G. Campbell, asau American citizen in every way qualified to fill the position of delegate. The question as to which of the two men are entitled to the seat will be ruled upon by the house of representatives, which will be enabled to act free of all party bias, since a delegate has no vote. Congress has long chafed ptf t seeing its laws openly set at de nance by the Mormons, and it is only fair to presume it will be glad to have some pretext for deal ing polygamy a heavy blow. Can non has been in the lower house of congress for several terms. It lo6ks as if the present session would be his last. -Warranty deeds, quit claim deeds ami mortgages, tor sale at tins omce. SAA'ITAKY. Disiufectaon for Scarlet Fever, Diph theria, etc. Kimtok Oki:;omax: Your excellent remarks in Tues days issue in regard to scarlet fever and tin? management of con valescents deserve careful atten tion. Patients should le carefully isolated, as you say, until the skin has regained it.s normal appear ance. People cannot be too care ful, and it is far better to err on the safe side. Your remarks on disinfection are such as auv one would have made who had not given the mai mer some special attention. It is the special business of medical men to keep pace with the most advanced ideas in such matters ami, with your kind permission, I will rive vou bnellv some of the recent investigations on the sub ject of fumigation and disinfection. About eighteen months ago a national hoard of health, consist ing of eleven members, was ap pointed by congress, abundant means placed at its command, and its duties were especially to ex amine vellow fever and other con tagious diseases, establish quaran tine, etc., with a view to preventing their introduction and spread, to root out latent seeds after an ei- deaiic and, in short, to do anything wmch the public good demanded. An enormous amount of work has already been accomplished by this board. 1 hey nave had exhaustive surveys made of several cities, rec ommending entire new systems of drainage; sent a commission to Cuba to study yellow lever in its native haunts; and done many thing not relevant to my subject. As one item of their vast labors they instituted a series of careful and elaborate experiments to de termine the disinfectant proper ties of vaiious substances. First they analyzed numerous patent or proprietary compounds, and the result played sad havoc with some of them. Then thev engaged Dr. George . Sternberg, surgeon, U. S. A., to determine by actual experiment what would destroy disease germs. These experi ments are highly interesting, even to the non-medical reader, but can not be given in a short article. Partly from Sternberg's expe riment and partly from other re liable sources the board have reach ed the following conclusions, which may be taken as the most advanc ed thought of the day on this sub ject: Disinfection is the destruction of the prisons of infections and contagious disejuses. Dedorizcrs, or substances which destroy smells, are not necessarily disinfectants: and disinfectants do not necessarily have an odor. Disinfection cannot compensate for want of cleanliness or ventila tion. ItNl)ircrl;inl. to lie Iltnpln !. 1. JJolksulpinir (brimstone), for fumigfttuin. 2.

Sulphate of zinc 4 or, common salt '2 or.,, to the "allon of water, for clothing, bed linen, etc. (Carbolic acid is omitted because difficult to obtain mire, while the quantity required to insure thorough disinfection is so great that the ex pense renders it impracticable.) In using these agents First Clothing, towels, bed linen, etc, should, on removal from the pa tient, and before they are taken from the room, be placed in the zinc solu tion, boiling hot if possible. Second All discharges should either be received in vessels containing the copperas solution, or be at once cover ed with it. All vessels should be cleansed with the same solution. Third Cellars, yards, stables, gut ters, privies, cesspools, water-closets, drains, sewers, etc, should be fre quently and liberally treated with the coppeas solution. To prepare this in large quantities, hang a basket con taining CO pounds of copperas in a barrel of water. Fourth Articles too valuable to be destroyed should be treated as follews: Cotton, linen, flannels, blankets, etc. should be treated with the boiling hot zinc solution, piece by piece, and boiled for half an hour. Heavy wool en clothing, silks, furs, stuffed bed covers, beds and other articles which cannot be treated with the zinc solu tion, should be fumigated with the room, their surfaces thoroughly ex posed, pockets turned inside out, etc,. afterwards hung in the open air, beaten and shaken. latcn and shaken. J?ifth Dead bodies should be thor-1 oughlv washed with a zinc solution of double strength, wrapped in a sheet wet with the same solution, and buried at once.

For a room about 10 feet square two pounds of sulphur should be used, and proportionate quantities for larger rooms. (In a work on diphtheria, just pub lished by Dr. A. Jacohi, of New York, the author sets aside the bacteria the ory as the cause of this disease, and discards carbolic acid as a disinfectant.) Letters from the Peeple. On Hit Sriiic orWiiiil. An article on changes of clim ate, going the rounds of the press, appeared in Tiik Astokiax De cember lth on a subject of vast importance, and 1 hope that it will I receive the attention it deserves from the intelligence of the coast. YYe hear the remark verv often from old settlers on the censt: J "The climate must be changing, we did not have this kind of weather in former years." If we examine as to the causes of warm winters on this coast, the principle one is found to be the immense growth of timber. If it were not for that, the country lying west of the coast range would be more, drv, colder, and simply a continua tion of summer, with this differ- ence: Hint us the sun withdraws i i"n complaint.-, ..o cents ami i ;l mn- its ras from these latitudes tlie , northwest winds of summer would ', n . - n- i i- haul around -raduallv to the north !

The strength of the current is greatest near the equator, as more rays are received there; and it becomes weaker and finally ce:ises entirely as we pass north.

In order to have some idea of the amount of heat given off in a storm of rain it is only neces sary to think how much would be needed to raise the same amount of water that falls during a storm to steam. Prof. IIega!es theory of denuding the country to the I north seems not to be a correct theory for the reason that the sun would have but little effect on it, especially during the winter seas on when the south winds are ex pected, and most needed. The forests would pnxluce more rain and south wind than bare ground would at any time. Denuding the land to the south, would cause the wind to take a more direct course, leaving out the denuded region, and coming straight for the for ests where the woiks of nature are unrestrained "Kxuixkki:.
