The work in Montana, northern Idaho, Wash ington, Oregon, and Alaska Is iid- mlnlslrated from the 1'ortlund vof: flee.

All of the states which have adopted the certificates of title or ownership law havo had the same experience und difficulty Ip clear ing up title to cars which have passed through a series of owner ships up to Ihe time of the enact mcnt of the tllle law und the titles are, therefore, in somewhat of a muz,'.
