GREAT BRITAIN's STRENGTH.

From the recent trade returns of
Great Britain can be learned wherein
lies the great reserve power which en-
ables that country to build greater
navy and carry on such long and ex-
pensive wars. The wealth of the av-
erage person depends greatly on the
condition Of his health, and for this
reason it is essential that we take the
best possible care OF Il. An OCCASION

The time of Justice Goodman was
occupied yesterday principally with
the case against George Mitchell, who
is charged with having attempted to
destroy the old Devlin cannery. The
complaining witnesses alleged In court
yesterday that they came, up to the
cannery in their boat when they no
ticed the fire. While one stopped to
eStlnguish the flames, the other gave
chase to man who was seen running
away from the building. This man
testified that the party who ran away
was George Mitchell Attorney Win
ton, who represents Mitchell, succeeded
In getting the complaining witnesses
badly ratified, and II was difficult to
tell whether or not their statements
We're true, The case was taken under
advsement until II o'clock this morn
ing, when decision win be rendered.
Mitchell has many friends in Astoria
and they have denounced his arre~t as
a conspiracy to send him to prison n
appears that one CT the complaining
witnesses was convicted of stealing
chickens from Mitchell, and served 30
days for the offense, and that the
present suit is the outcome of the ln-
feeling aroused then. There Is anothar
story to the effect that Mitchell was
eausht in the act of tamperlng with
Adolph Johnson's water supply and
soundly beaten for his action, and tha,
he is fully capable of the crime charged
against him.

The decision Of Judge Mcbride yes
t%rday In the case Of Ferguson G.
Houston vs. George Kaboth, in favor
OF the plaintiffs is Of great interest to
taxpayers and spectators Of the en-
tire state. At the last session of the
legislature a special act was passed
erty bought in for delinquint taxes.
There were many irregularities here
In Clatsop county, but the law was so
framed that 1t would make the sale
possible despite the irregularities. The
plaintiffs in the case In question owned
lot on Duane street which was sold
to the defendant by the county for
back taxes The suit was brought to
nullify the sale. In deciding in favor
Of the plaintiffs, Judge Mcbride said
that there was no affidavit on file
showing that the sheriff had levied or
attempted 20 levy on the personal prop
erty Of the owners for recovery of the
taxes prior to the time OF the sale, as
is required by law, and that the
original sale to the county was, in
consequence, void. The court also ex-
pressed the belief that the legislature
had no right to pass an act calculated
to correct errors Of the kind, and that,
the original sale of the property being
void. the second sale was necessarily
so. During the sale of delinquent
property many parcels of land were
purchased by spectators. but the de-
cision handed down yesterday will in
validate them, unless Judge Mcbride |
is overruled by the supreme court.

The movement for o new courthouse
is causing much discussion as to the
manner in which funds should be
raised for the purpose. In some quar-
ters d plan Is favored whereby the city
would dispose of its property at the
corner OF Commercial and Eleventh
streets, applying the proceeds as rental
for its portion of the proposed joint
city hall and courthouse for stipulat-
ed period. However this plan raises
the objection that at the expiration of
the period for which rental would be
paid, the municipality would have no.
thing to show for is expenditure. The
plan generally favored is that the
county, which is in excellent shape
financially, should make a levy that
would net about $4,000 year, cover
ing period of four or five years; that
bonds or warrants be issuel so that the
entire amount, less interest, would be-
come available Immediately. The city
