It i9 t fact well known to the readers of tbe Enterprise that an attempt was made to pass a law at the last legislature in which was practically embodied a part of the Tor rens system of land transfers. Cuder the Torrens law, which has long been in exist ence in Australia and some European na tions, a man can transfer real estate as quickly as a government bond. The record ing officer of the county issues a certificate to the owner of the property, giving a full description and the last transfer of record endorsed thereon. After this, and until the certificate is completely written over, each transfer, mortgage or lease will be endorsed. The principal object or tbe law before the last legislature, was to divest deeds of much of their legal verbiage and simplify methods ol transfers. Notwithstanding there was an energetic fight lor the passage of the bill, it failed to become a law. Bat the Illinois legislature which recently adjourned passed a law embodying tbe principal features of the Torrens system. The bill as passed re quires that before the law shall go into op eration, it must be submitted to yote of the people for tbeir approval or rejection ; but from the way the vote stood on the measure in the legislature of that state, it will be received with favor by the people. At any rate the merits of this much dis cussed system ol land transfers will receive practical demonstration. It is claimed by the ardent supporters of this system that it will facilitate and make easy tbe matter of conveying real property It will do away with the keeping of cumbersome records and greatly reduce the expenses necessitated by the searching of titles, and large fees for attorneys in passing upon the abstract. Be sides, under the present plan of drawing op deeds with a complicated entailment of legal verbiage, errors are often made that result in expensive lawsuits. Thousands of deeds are drawn up and acknowledgedged by inexperienced persons that would result in untold litigation and complications it they were ever contested. A system of transfer which will provide the owner of the property with an up-to-date title without tbe trouble and expense of going back through tbe musty records of years, would no doubt meet with popular approval. At any rate it is absolutely cer tain there is much room for improvement in the matter of land transfers, and the peo ple could be saved thousands ol dollars of expense try a radical change in the pres ent system of land transfers. OUR F I REM EX. Oregon City has abundant reason to be proud of the valor, skill and faithfulness of her fire department. It is but just to say that they have on many occasions prevented our city from the devastations of a probable disastrous conflagration ; they have devoted tbeir time to drilling and increasing their efficiency, and at no time have they faltered from their duty. Oregon City has had fewer disastrous fires than any city in tbe state, and the fire boys deserve recognition for this fact. The city council should see that they are properly supplied with all neces sary apparatus of substantial make, in order that they can successfully combat fires that are liable to break out at any time. The Oregon City boys win laurels at every fire men's tournament, and our citizens should see that means are provided to pay tbeir expenses at the coming firemen's tourna ment at Vancouver. They render valuable service to the city and their work should be appreciated. While people up the valley are highly pleased with the conveniences afforded bv the Salem passenger train, they would be very much gratified if this train would carry mail and express matter. Oregon City Is already pretty well supplied with mail and express facilities, but the towns between here and Salem are not so well supplied with these conveniences, and they would be greatly benefited if the Salem passenger would handle mail and express matter. Judo I T. A. McBride, of Oregon City, in charging the grand jury at the recent ses sion of the Clatsop county circuit court, made some pointed and appropriate remarks in regard to the right of the state of Oregon to regulate fishing in the Columbia river, and even to go so far as to make laws appli cable to the fishermen on tbat part of tbe river which Is unquestionably within the territorial limits of this statu. Among other things he said : " These fish are the com mon property of the people of Oregon and Washington, and the preservation and pro tection of this source of wealth is a matter that should be carefully looked after by both communities. 1 instruct you thatsuch Iiiwb of this state are In force up to (lie line of low water mark on the north bank of the Columbia river, and that any one Ibhing on Sunday within these limits is liable toln- diet men t ami punishment in the courts of this state." If the law Is correctly laid down in these quotations there is presented for the executives and legislatures of the two states only one reasonable course ol ac tion. They must agree on some common line of action. This ought to be done under any circumstance, for whatever may be the legal rights of the two states In the river, there is not the least doubt that the interests of the people of both states are identical, and they are to the etlect that such laws as will the most surely preserve the fish from decreasing shall be enacted and enforced. The new scheme of advertising Oregon, now being carried out by the Oregon Colo nisation Society, an organisation composed of the leading real estate dealers and own ers of Portland and other towns of the state, is one that promises lo be ot much benefit to the state. Their plan is to gel out a monthly publication in newspaper form, made up largely or articles and extracts from the press of the state, giving concisely the honest facts about Oregon, that people of the Kast may judge of our capabilities and advantages. The first edition, which consisted of 25,000 copies, has been gotten out under the title of The Monthly Ore- gonian, and Is now being distributed throughout tbe Kast. It is replete with In formation about Oregon. Oregon City Is especially favored, having several different articles on the manufacturing and financial advantages offered by our city . The object of the paper is more especially to induce capitalists to invest and to locate in the state, as It is capital that is most needed to develop our latent resources. While a number of the progressive business men of Oregon City have contributed toward the expense of getting out this paper, a more generous suport should be given the scheme, for there is not a town in the state that has more to otter and at the same time has need of more capital than this place. Enulaxd's grasping propensities are evi dently distasteful to Central American gov ernments, and any precipitated move in that direction reacts to her discredit. It seems that the British government made a sorry mistake in the Corintoatlair when she landed ber marines on Nicaragua soil lo se cure the payment of the indemnity for the expulsion of Consul Hatch. This move bas already affected her interests to a consider able extent in that country, and as a result the seeds of hatred have been planted deep in the native breast, and a crop of most bit ter animosity is budding forth. England's policy of blufl on this occasion has materi ally affected her trade relations with that nation, and will probably continue to do so. It bas become an established fact that the Nicaragnans, and, in fact, all the residants of Central America, consider the United States as tbeir natural protector, and look to us for assistance in time of trouble. It is, at least, pleasing to note that these na tions have unlimited confidence in the Uni ted States, and believe in her ability to trounce tbe remainder of the world if necessary. The latest addition to the list of Oregon publications is the Oregon Agriculturist, published at Portland. 1,. h. Gumett, of this city, is business manager, and N. Mc Millan editor. The paper is the best gotten tip and most readable agricultural paper published on this Coast. It is made tip of several departments, each in charge of a specialist, and covers every point of interest to the agricultural classes. The paper is of sixteen pages, and will he published semi monthly at the low price of 60 cents per year. Sample copies will be sent. Tbe Oregon Agriculturist merits and should re ceive a liberal support from the farmers ot Oregon. Leland District Notes. Lklaud District, July 1. Tbe weather the past week has been fine.
