QOMHAMi Ctnsral 140 Thlr. St Parltan, Or. The statement has been repetedly made that the title to the county build' ings and the grounds upon which they are situated would revert to the origin al owners should the county seat be moved.

There was a deed tendered the county in which there was a clause retting forth that in case the groucds and building which might be erected thereuppn should ever cease to be used for couuty seat purposes the title of the snid property should revert hack to the grantor of the deed, but the county court refused to accept this deed and a new one was given, (and it is by viiture of this second deed that the county now holds titlo to the land upon which the county buildings stand. The following ib an exact copy of the t'eed as il is recorded upon the official records of the county. As will be seen by this deed thecounty is the owner of this property without restriction and would continue to so be even if the county seat should be removed.
