FARCICAL FUMIGATION.

In another column will be found a
careful statement, with dates of land
ing, of the freight on the wharves, and
the rather curious ideas of the Board of
Health upon fumigation.
From this statement it can be gath
cred that fumigation of freight is not
of very great value as it is at present
managed. The Board of Health certain
ly conducts the fumigation, but no
proper means are employed for isolat-
ing unfumigated Oriental freight, from
freight that does not require fumiga-
ton, and If there is danger from this

PI-SH THE WORK.

The cleansing work which the Board
of Health should be pushing on as rap
idly as possible, seems to be at stand
still. No effort as far as can be learn
ed has been made to clean up the out
lying villages, and no one has been APP
pointed to see that such cleaning is
properly done.
However a plan has been formulated
for putting Chinatown into proper SAN
itary condition, by opening new streets,
widening the alley ways and let
ting light and air into the fostering
earth upon which so many of the shan
ties are built. 1t is only by making
it impossible for plague germs to live
that we will eradicate the disease.
The members of the Board of Health
continue to hold evening sessions but
they do not seem to bear fruit in the
one direction which is vital to the true
solution of the problem. AS suggested
yesterday why leave the matter of the
sanitation of Chinatown to the Board of
Health? Why not put the matter into
the hands of the Minister of Interior?
Money is needed but it is no use calling
the Council of State together and ask
ing them to vote means until some def
mite idea of what the necessities may
be. To ask for 100000 without giving
an idea of how it is to be spent is to in
vite criticism and even antagonism in
the Council. AS the Board has undoubt-
eddy plenty to do let other branches of
10
1t matters very little to the public at
large what particular individual has
charge of or supervision over the work.
What the public wants is the work
done. 1t does look as if the work was
being delayed so that some one, now
otherwise engaged, might later obtain
credit for it,
In the matter of the quarantine there
does not seem any reason to think that
it will stamp out the disease. Quaran-
tine never has stamped out disease,
but this quarantine of Chinatown is
made necessary to prevent the inhabi-
tants from taking their plague stricken
compatriots into other parts of the
city. In each case recently discovered
outside the limits of Chinatown, the
plague smitten men had contracted the
disease within it's limits and had then
been carried out by their friends. No
thing but a careful guard, such as is
now being kept up, will prevent a re-
petition of like tactics.
While desiring to give full support
to the Board of Health and crediting
the gentlemen composing it with an
earnest desire to eradicate the foul dis
ease, it is clear that they are open to
criticism upon the policy of thorough
cleansing which is so vitality necessary
and which is the only true weapon with
which to fight.
There should be no delay in this cam
paign. If plague once takes firm hold
it will be very difficult to eradicate.
Up to the present it has not been fatal
to any large number. The deaths from
plague are not as numerous as the
average of deaths from consumption
in any one month of the past year. and
there have been months when they
have been very much larger. Fevers
also have claimed more victims, but it
is the future that alarms everyone, and
1T is for the future that we must work

kind of freight, 1t is apt to spread con-
tagion among packages which will new
er be fumigated. There is very serious
mismanagement in this which decidedly
calls for censure.
Another source of danger lies in al
lowing the wharf loafers and others to
lounge over the unfumigated goods,
shooting craps and playing cards on
packages that may be teeming with
microbes AS the bulk of these loafers
and wharf rats go bare foot, and the
Board has authoritatively stated that
there is great danger of contaglon
through the feet, it certainly seems as
if there was a very serious leak in the
quarantine regulations, and while the
Board is closing up the tap in China
town, it is allowing the microbes to es-
cape through the bung hole along the
wharVes.
This is another instance, of the
Board having too much to do and
while concentrating it's attention in
one direction, neglecting a neces-
sary precaution in another. There
should be some responsible head
in charge of the suspected freight and
he should have ample assistance to sort
it out and keep it isolated from all 9TH
er freight, and to prevent all loafers
and others from having access to it,

The Dewey Arch and approaches
which are certainly beautiful will prob
ably never receive permanent form. The
Secretary of the Committe has found
out that it will cost $1,0O0,000 to perpe-
tuate the present stucco structures.
Modern Republics may be greater in
power, than the old Republic Of Rome,
but they do not spend their money upon
enduring monuments as rule. The
Dewey Arch with its classic approaches
was really beautiful, and preserved in
marble would have been the glory of
the city for several centuries to come.
But the present is what New Workers
want, Posterity never did any thing
for them.

THE BARK COLUSA.
Not the Vessel Seen in Trouble Off

Point Bonilla.
A report from San Francisco shows
that there is still some hope for the
bark Colusa, supposed to have been
lost off Vancouver. 1t is certain that
the vessel that was seen by the light
house crew at Point Bonilla was not the
Colusa. A bark was reported ashore or
nearly so, on November 18th and the
next day bark went down off Van
couver. short distance from Point
Bonilla.
The vessel that was seen at Point
Bonilla was the bark Vidette, which has
safely arrived at Redondo. The Vidette
is a bark very much like the Colusa
and might easily have been taken for
her. Her captain reports that he was
off Point Bonilla on November 18th and
almost went ashore. He was carried so
close by a current that he had to let
down anchors to hold the vessel off. AS
not more than one bark was seen off
the point on the 18th, it is evident that
the Colusa was not there. The Colusa
is so long overdue, however, that it still
appears probable that she was the 9TH
er bark, which was wrecked
