The honesty of the court in this mat
ter is not broSched, but its lack OF or
dinary business ncumcn aud prepared
ness in the deal is too apparent to cs.
cape notice and remark wherever the
story of the incident is known and un.
! derstood,
1t is understood that Mr. Raycr, in
his conference with the court ON lash
Thursday, made repeated and insist
ent demands upon the court, to close
the matter by having the terra Gotta
shipped here at once and assume the
custody and storage Of the material it.
self but the court, for some reason, in
sisted with equal, or greater folrr, upon
the concern at Lincoln holding the goods
for a period Of six months as indicated
in the memorandum signed by Mr..
Bayer
There is but one thing left for the
county court to do in these extraordm'
airy premises, and that is to order the
entire bulk OF material shipped here at
once. and put itself in possession of the
stuff it paid 50 lightly and easily for;
get it in their own control and care,
and store ii safely as may be, under
insurance ii possible, and put the county
in some sort of position from which it
may eXtricate itself in the event of
loss or disaster. Anything less than
this will fail to satisfy public sense
of the fitness of things and anything
less will leave the court open to every
iustifable and censoriouS criticism in
this relation.
District Attorney Harrison Allen was
interviewed yesterday and an opinion
sought as to the legal responsibility
of the court, in the premises, and the
following is the substance of his reply.
Il was not present. nor requested
to be at the time OF the purchase of
the terra Gotta, and had nothing to do
with the preparation of any papers
relative thereto; and know nothing as
to the details. The County Court is
the auditing board, and supposed to
know its duties. The district attorney,
as required by law, renders opinions
when requested in writing to do so, and
further than that, has no authority to
iirect the actions of the county court,
lor its policy.

Apropos of the court house and the
pending discussion in relation to it, the
following opinion rendered yesterday
by Hon Harrison Allen, district attor,
ney, at the request of the court, is of
very close and analogous interest;
Astoria, April 7th, 1906.
ITO The County Court of Clatsop
County:
Gentlemen: In answer to your re-
quest for my opinion, in. Ne. to what
interest if any, any contractor, archi'
tect, or materialman has in the New
Court House Building. l have the fol-
lowing to say. The Supreme Court
declared the contract for the construc-
ton of the court house unconstitutional
and void, and therefore there can be no
valid claim against the county under
any contract entered into looking to the
construction of the building.
''.As I understand the matter, you had
paid HASTE & Dougan for all work done
up TO the time the injunction was is
sued, SO the only question now is as to
the architect. l find that under his
agreement. the services he was to per
form were, briefly speaking first; prep
aration of completed plans, specitica-
tions and details, which he was to fur
nish to the county; second, supervis'
ion and superintendent Of the work to
completion. His contract contains the
following clause, 1T is expressly un-
derstood etc, that should the construc'
tion Of the building be perpetually en-
Joined, then and in that event, the sec
ond party (the County, shall pay to
the first party (the architect) as full
compensation for his services, such sum
of money as shall equal 5 per cent Of
the cost of the work already completed
at the time Of making of said injunction
perpetual
"This provision of the contract means
just what it says, and leaves no room
for argument but that the making Of
TIE injunction PERPETUAL relieves the
county of any further liability to the
architect for that period and his re-
coyery is limited to five per cent of the
cost of the building to that date. 1t
has been suggested that it is still neces-
-ary to buy the plans and specifications
and details from the architect. / do not
think so, as he has agreed to furnish"
them to the county at the stipulated
price
"The plans have been delivered and
the remainder of the drawings are the
property of the county under the agree
ment.
Not saying anything about the effect
of the supreme courts decision on the
architects contract, I am informed you
have already paid the architect the sum
equal to five per cent, as above desig-
mated for partially completed building
any way it can be figured, and in my
opinion, therefore, the county is not in
any way compelled to pay any more
to the architect, nor can any material
man. or contractor enforce any agree
ment heretofore made as to the court
house.
Respectfully submitted.
(signed) HARRISON ALLEN.
District Attorney"

You will never know what a great heal
ing and pain relieving remedy this is until
used. You will find it an Indispensable
article after you know its merits. For it
quickly relieves the pain and swelling from
bruises, burns, scalds, and rheumatism. It
will heal cuts, sores, and ulcers. 1t will
remove boils and pimples. Its use does not
burn or blister.
1t is equally as valuable for horses, and
quickly cures collie, sore shoulders, and cuts
from barb wire. 1t will not remove the
hair, and insects will not trouble a sore
where it has been once applied.

Paris charity bazaar fre and Presi-
dent Carnot's assassination, has fixed
up bunch Of trouble for 1906. Ma
dame, pleasantly. even gaily. state9
that 1906 will be wild year, full OF
strange. extravagant. incomprehensible
and astonishing madnesses. She pre-!
diets that Germany will be threatened
with general smash early in the year;
that South America is to be torn with
upheayals, that an uncpnquerable cpl
demic is to sweep this country: that
Belgium will play a curious part In
the transformation of Europe: that the
attention Of the world will be centered
on Turkey and the near East: and that
there will be serious losses In the Art

and a better disposition OF the COM
forts of life.
1t would be ungracious to say that
all this Is due to the influence Of men
from the North, and it would be un-
true as well as ungracious; but 1t 10
nevertheless a fact that the ideas
which dominated in the old days
were not adapted to the best use OF
Southern resources and opportunities
for development, and that these old
ideas had to surrender to new and
better plans and methods before the
South which Is now rapidly develop
ing could be possible. One Of the
strongest forces in the new movement
is the stream Of Northern blood and
capital which has flowed into the
beautiful Southern land since the
days of reconstruction. And I repeat,
because it cannot be said with too
much emphasis, that Georgia knows
this, appreciates 1t, and wants more Of
it.
These are facts which may be prop
erly taken into consideration by North

"The caste instinct is always resi-
dent in the brain Of the white man,
North or South, be he Catholic, Prot
estant or Quaker. In the North. this
finds expression In social distinction
based on the possession OF wealth and
culture. South, the caste instinct
finds SO much greater differences in
inherent civilization, in the white
race. against inherent barbarism in
the black race, that the caste senti-
ment justifies itself in dividing the
white from the black. Hence, there
exists fuller democracy among all
white people in the South than else
where. Here, minor social differences
are annulled by the one great caste
distinction. This condition gives freer
play to altruistic social usage among
the white people here than In other
parts of our country"
