Reference was made yesterday
morning to a verdict rendered in the
q. s. circuit court in Boston, last
Thursday, which was said to involve
the collection Of millions of dollars
10 royalties annually, from Gamers
of fruit, salmon, etc.. in the United
States for the use of soldering iron.
1t seems however. that the salmon
Gamers of this coast, are not affected
by the decision, as the tool is one
that is used for soldering the circular
piece of tin, that one can find in the
middle of the top of the cans Of
fruits and vegetables, that are sent
here from the east. The tops and
bottoms OF salmon cans are made of
one piece. and they are soldered by
rolling through bath of melted SOL
der, which renders the application Of
a soldering iron unnecessary.

Works last Thursday, and possession
will be given on the LIST of December.
The company will give special atten-
ii N to the manufacture of those Ia
bor-saving canning machines, the
product of Mr.. Jensen's fertile in
ventive genius. Mr.. Jensen's ma
chimes can be found in every salmon
canning establishment from Califor-
MIA to Alaska and have wrought COM
plete revolution in the canning in
dustry on this coast. This latest en-
terprise of the company, of which Mr..
Jensen is the moving spirit, shows
that he is meeting with the success
which his ability merits.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.
II Is Better to Keep Smallpox Away Than
to be Compelled to Drive it Out.

The schools in Portland report that
all the pupils have been vsccinated,
with the slight exception of six or
seven. The rule in regard to vscci-
nation adopted by the school board
has been carried out to the letter.
All students who have not been vac
cinated successfully in the past four
years will not be allowed to enter
school until such operation has been
successfully performed. That is an
important one of the many precau-
tions adopted in Portland to get rid
VI the disease after it was found to
be prevalent in their midst. On the
principle that IAN ounce Of preven-
ton is worth a pound of cure" would
not similar precautions be sensible
thing to enforce in Astoria to keep
the smallpox from making its appear.
ance here? The council have taken
the precaution to have the pest house
renovated and put in order under the
supervision OF a competent physi-
clan, who will vaccinate free all who
wish; but the matter should not be
allowed to stop there. No reason
able effort which is calculated to pre-
vent the spread of the disease to this
city should be spared.
The authorities IN Portland now
show a commendable and earnest
activity in devising and putting in
effective operation anti-smallpox or
dinances and resolutions. They
would have shown more sense in that
city il they had adopted their late
sensible and vigorous measures at the
start and had had everybody, old and
young, vaccinated, instead Of vac
cinating the newspapers and attempt
ting to cover up the disease by
sitting down on it. The result was
quite satisfactory for a while, 80 far
as the newspapers were concerned.
The disease went very light with
most of them. The OregoniGn had
only a very light case of varioloid,
however. which seems to hang on a
long time. The Ne,0S, though, had a
more serious attack and was badly
broken ont.
OF course, knowledge of the exist.
ence OF q dangerous or contagious
disease in a city will keep visitors
away who would otherwise come and
spend their money in various ways,
but that does not justify anyone in
concealing the existence of the dis
ease from those who may thus be-
come its victims.
City authorities. who, knowing that
vaccination is the only safe plan for
preventing the disease, prescribe
stringent applications to keep peoples
mouths shut are guilty of criminal
malpractice. Just as soon as case
of small pox is believed to exist, it
should be sufficiently known TO pre-
vent people from being exposed to it
unawares.
There has been no small pox in As
toria this season, but its existence in
Portland has reduced very much the
travel down the river to this city.
Yet it is generally conceded that light
travel and health is better for the
city than heavy travel and full pest
house.
The Historian feels that the close
communication and considerable trav.
ell between this city and Portland
should be considered sufficient excuse
for the above extended reference to
this sanitary matter.

On inspection it has been sscer-
tanned that the recent fire at y. II.
Cooper's store did more damage than
was ut first estimated. A very tri-
fling injury to first class goods. such
as compose the stock at this leading
store, prevent their being offered for
sale at the counters in the usual rou-
tine Of business. The underwriters,
mindful we suppose Of the narrow
escape they had from loss OF many
thousands Of dollars, and desirous OF
making prompt settlement of the
damage that has been sustained have
instructed auctioneer E. G. Holden,
to sell Immediately at public auction,
all the goods that we're damaged on
the occasion referred to. As will be
seen in our advertising columns an
auction sale vii be made at the va
cant Empire store adjoining O. 81.
Oooper's, on tomorrow evening at Z
o'clock, and again on Tuesday eve
ming. Some of the goods are 80 little
damaged as not to be detected by the
inexperienced eye, but all will be sold
without any reserve, as the orders to
sell are peremptory. See ad.

THoEeE-cARLIsLE CONTEST.

The Report of the Elections Committee
Declaring Thoebe Not Entitled TO tho
Seat.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-The report Of tn,
Electi' ms Commitl ee on the Thoebe-CarIisi7
contest, made to thu House by Chairman
Crisp, after recital Of the offer of the con-
;estant's counsel to prove certain allega-
lions, says that as the notice OF contest
fails to specify them as grounds of contest.
the well-estabished rule would be sufh-
cient negative answer to the Application.
To inducs the Ho 50 to order Il new hearing
of the case, the conte slant must show dill
gence in the use of the time allowed him by
statute, but In this case he took esti1:ony on
only seven of the fifty days allowed him,
made no effort to procure evidence, avowed
that he mover wan ed TO enter into the con.
test. and that he would like TO get out OF it;
that he did not wan TO pay out money in
the matter, and ha been forced into it by
the Lab, clubs and his &c sire to repel the
impui alton that had been cast upon him
thai he and his counsel had been bought up.
In the opinion OF the Committee, The laches
OF the contestant and his counsel have bean
such as to preclude hum from asking fur
Their indulgence of the House. Very care
full consi ierLtion Of the papers SATISFIES the
committee beyond all reasonable doubt that
not one OF the substantial averments OF the
cont st could be established by satisfactory
proofs.
The committee comedies the right Of the
Fl use to investigate the title OF the con-
Lestee to seat, even if the contestant has
been guilty OF such negligence as to pre-
clude him party. But it fails TO see
any thing in the present case calling for
an inquiry by this House for its own vin'ii-
cation or to purge Itself Of a member uu-
e,Ccted IN fact. After thus disposing OF
the application for an extension, the COM
mittee takes up the case Us shown by the
record, and finds that no evidence was pro-
duced which supports or tends to
support any one OF the hfty-hve specifica-
tons filed by the contestant. His Witnesses
prove nothing tending To impeach the fair
ness Of the election. The technical point
that the judges OF election in Trimble
Coanty were all d emocrats the committee
dismsses with the statement That it does
not follow that the State law was violated
in that particular. and cites the case Of
Barnes VS.. Adams in the Forty first Con-
gress precedent for its decision. In
conclusion, the committee reported resolu-
tons declaring Carlisle, and not Thoebe,
elected.
