For two reasons: First, be cause we have a (20,000 index on the records of Douglas County and every transfer which has ever been made In Douglas County has been indexed lu so many different ways that It is Im possible to overlook anything which uffects the title of the property we are abstracting. Second, because we are expert abstractors and know what makes or breaks your title. Any record which in any way affects your title Is put in your abstract. Do you know that mere are clouds on titles to thousands of properties caused through errors In descriptions, irregular conveyancing, encroach ments through errors In describing adjoining lands, Irregular court pro ceedings and various other errors. These are all brought to your atten tion In our abstracts. Hadn't you better let us abstract your property and find out what kind of title you have got. These indexes of ours will tell you things about your property you never knew be fore. Ours Is the only index 1u Douglas County.

NOT ACQUAINTED WITH HIM elped Clark in Securing an Attorney Bnt Uupes He Will be Pun ished If Cntlty Roseburg, Ore., Nov. llth, 190R. Roseburg Review, L. Wtmberly, Editor, Roseburg, Oregon. Dear Sir: Kindly permit me the use of a conspicuous place in me columns of your paper. I wish to correct a most grievous misrepresen tation in your issue of Nov. 9th. Your reckless use of my name In connection with Rev. Clark or Sum mers, I strongly repent. You neeuse Rev. Clark of a most glaring er:me and paint him as criminal of deep- st hue; and then el:se your seiui- ionnl Item by reprisr.ting ine ns his defender. You say that I have Inter ested myself In his heh.ilf, and that I will raise money, if necessary, to de fend him. And you do thl.i without one word of personal Inquiry from mo as to tho Tacts This kind ol treatment 1 strongly resent. Since my name has been eo freely used in connection with this case, I hope yon will grant mo the privilege of making statement according to facta, Although Rev. Clarke has been preaching in tho Oregon Conference since 1904, I nm not persoulJy ac quainted with him. When ho was brought to Roseburg Saturday nigtit I hnd no knowledge of his being In the city. 1 was away from the par sonage, when he came to seek my aid. On my return home 1 found the man guarded by a deputy, and In deep distress. He plead his lnno cence, claiming that it was n case of mistaken Identity nnd asked me to lirnvont, If possible, his spending the night in tho county jail. I Imme diately made careful examination of be Oregon Conference Journals of the Methodist Church, the olMclal publication of the- Conference, puh- Ished annually, and found that be came to the Oregon Conference lu 1904; that he was admitted to the Conference In 190ft on credentials from the Methodist Church, South, which church received him ns a min ister In 1889. Clnrk also had In his possession a certificate signed by Bishop McDowell, the presiding of ficer of the Oregon Anuunl Confer ence, held at Albany, Ore., in lBOft. This paper certified that the Confer ence had recognl7.ed the credentials those of Rev. Geo. Clarke. With this evidence quickly gathered, I nat urnlly came to the conclusion that this man was either George Clarke, or he had forged his credentials, and passed them off on the Conference Knowing the care taken by the Board on Conference Relation In passing on such matters I thought forgery next to Impossible. Not knowing of the other evidence presented Inter by The Review, my sympathy went out strongly for the man and was willing to do what I could to keep hi in from jail until he had a chance to present his caso to the governor and only did for him what I wouid gladly do for anyone under similar circumstances. I was firm with Clarke and told htm in the presence of Sheriff Fenron and others that I hoped ho would get what was coming to him If he was guilty. As to my raising funds or securing the employment of attor neys to defend him. will sav. I mad no promise, nor have I any Intention of giving him such aid. At his ear nest solicitation I secured the ndvlec of a lawyer. This was done for th purpose of keeping him out of jail until he could get his cane befo: the Governor, As a minister of the Gospel I want only to aland for right and justice I hope hereafter to have The Review consult me personally about any newn or sucn a serious nature, before anno elating my name with It. and feel thn In asking this I am only asking the courtesy that Is due to any citizen will believe yon desire to do the square thing if you will give ihl article an much prominence In you paper as you did the one with which my name, was associated. Respectfully yours. JAS. K. HAWKINS PLEADS WITH GOVERNOR. Gardiner Minister Hear Favornhli letter From He?. T. B. Kuril. RALEM. Or.. Nov. 9 What I either a remarkable case of mlnlnke Identity or a rank Instance of hypoc rlsy was called to the attention o Governor Chamberlain today, whe; Rev. George C. (Mark, of Gardln iKiuglas county, apjiealed to tho gov ernor for protection against extrad thin. Clark has b-n arretted up the theory that he Is Rev. Geo rue Summers, who Is wanted at Throck morton, Texas, to answer a charge of embezzlement. Though tho cir cumstances point almost conclusively to the identity of Clark and Summers, yet Mr. Clark has a letter from Rev. T. B. Ford In which the latter de clares that he knows both men and that they are not one and the same. Rev. George C. Sum mora loft his wife nnd family at Throckmorton In I 904 and eloped with Elizabeth Mas-i sey, a young girl. He embezzled mon ey nt the same time. Since then his hereabouts have been unknown. Rev. George C, Clark says that he formerly lived in Throckmorton, Tex., but that he left there lu 1900, u which year at Dallas, Tex., he mar ried Elizabeth Matisey, who, how ever. Is not the same Elizabeth Mas sey who was married by Hov, George Summers. Clnrk came to Oregon n 1904, soon after the time of Sum mers disappearance. He occupied the Methodist Episcopal pulpit at Wlldorville and was later transferred o Gardiner, where he is now preach ing. Clark admits that- he looks like Summers and that the circumstances are strongly against him, but he pro tests his innocence. At his urgent request ho was brought to Salem to day by the sheriff of Douglns county ii order that he might tell his story and protest against the granting of extradition. A mi in tier of Methodist ministers called upon the governor today, but as they knew nothing about the facts lu the case, they merely asked that the governor make thorough Investigation so that no njustlce shall be done.
