QNVEYANGING OF
REALTY EXPLAINED
Mortgage Is Second in Import
ance to Deed in Closing
Sales of Land.
EXTREME CARE ESSENTIAL
Protection to Person Who Gives
Value for Pocument Depend
Vpon Conditions to Which the
Mortgagor Binds Himself.
BY BEX KIESLAXD.
(Member of Portland Realty Board.)
PART n.
Comparatively tew real estate con
veyances are made where the entire
purchase price Is paid In cash. This
necessitates the giving back of some
security to cover the unpaid balance.
Csually this Is a first mortgage on the
property conveyed. Thus the mortgage
becomes the second important instru
ment used In finally closing a deal for
the sale of land. To the seller, then,
this Is a matter for careful consid
eration. , .
A mortgage of this kind Is a pledge
whereby the mortgagor undertakes to
forfeit his right In land upon failure
to pay a sum named in the mortgage.
Ordinarily a note Is given, and often
a number of notes In various amounts
are made out. maturing at different
dates, covering the sum total secured.
There Is no fixed form to a mort
gage, and the various blanks sold In
stationery stores are the creations of
attorneys who have given some thought
to the subject. A m,ortRage on city
property cannot be too complete. After
reciting the parties, consideration, copy
of note and description of the prop
erty, the body of the Instrument should
provide that the mortgagor (borrower)
must keep the buildings, if any, insured
In a fire Insurance company satisfac
tory to the mortgagee; that he must
not suffer liens of any kind to be filed
and remain unpaid; that he must not
allow any taxes to become delinquent;
that he must pay any taxes that may
be levied by law against the mort
gagee on account of said mortgage.
Mortgagee's Right Deflaeta.
In case the mortgagor neglects or re
fuses to comply with the foregoing,
then the mortgage may be foreclosed
by the holder thereof, or he may pay
any of the Items mentioned and the
amounts paid out by him shall be se
cured by the mortgage and bear inter
est. A mortgage should also provide
for the holding of the abstract by tha
mortgagee so that he will be saved this
Item of cost In case or a foreclosure.
In cases where buildings are located
upon the land, the court ordinarily will
appoint a receiver on application of th
mortgagee to rent the property and
look after repairs, etc. This receiver
Is placed under bonds, and required to
make retum to the court of his re
ceipts and expenditures in the matter.
It is often a good plan to insert a
clause in the mortgage calling for the
appointment of this receiver. This adds
rtrength to tho mortgage, and gives an
apparent advantage to the' mortgagee,
he receiving possession of the prop
erty at a much earlier date than he
possibly could otherwise.
This Instrument is executed with the
same formalities as the deed, and laws
and customs for recording the same are
identical with those governing deeds.
A mortgage Is far more complex than
a deed, because of the contingencies
that may arise under It. The protec
tion granted one who gives value for
the mortgage depends to a great ex
tent upon the conditions to which the
mortgagor binds himself. For instance,
if the mortgage should not contain
clauses providing for payment of liens
or taxes, and foreclosure in default of
such payment, the security might b;
preatly reduced, materially exhausted,
cr entirely lost; because taxes, assess
ments and like obligations have a first
lien on the property with priority over
a mortgage.
lrhor Ileara llurdra.
If the note secured by the mortgage,
or In Its absence, the mortgage Itself.
Is not paid at maturity, or If any of
the covenants in the mortgage are
broken, then a foreclosure may be com
menced, the cost of which suit and at
torney's fees, by all general forms, are
placed upon the debtor. After a Judg
ment Is obtained and the property Is
sold, there still remains a period of
redemption during which the owner or
certain other interested parties may
come in. pay the amount of the Judg
ment and costs, and redeem the land:
otherwise. In one year the purchaser
under the execution sale obtains a deed
and his title becomes absolute.
Great care Is necessary In drawing
up the mortgage. Usually the seller is
satisfied to have the buyer's attorney
frame this Instrument, or In many cases,
this falls upon the real estate agent
who makes the deal. This Is a serious
'mistake on the part of the man taking
the mortgage. He should have his own
attorney look after this Instrument and
see to it that every contingency, which
may properly arise, is properly met by
the Instrument. This would. In many
Instances, avoid Irksome delays, un
necessary litigation, anl irreparable
losses. "
DKKl'M AVEME NOW ACTIVK
Extension of Carllne Big Aid In De
veloping Kine District.
The extension of the Woodlawn car
line over rekum avenue to East
Twentv-fourih street was completed
last week and a 12-mlnute service is
now effective. With tha construction
of this line a large district has been
opened up for settVement and already
there is marked activity there.
"Many property seekers and pros
pective homebullders have been await
ing the extension of this line, as they
realised the attractiveness of Dekum
avenue as a residence section." said F.
B. Holbrook. of F. B. Holbrook & Co..
"As this is the last east-and-west car
line in the northeastern section of the
city. It Is reasonable to expect that the
business of the district will centralize
on Iekum avenue. A study of Port
land's map will reveal tha fact that
the districts touching on the east and
of Pekum avenue, Irvlngton Park No.
1, on the east, and Irvlngton Park No.
S. on the south, have many advantages
that appeal to Investors and home
builders." CAIU.IXE TO BE KXTEXDED
HatlKrne-Avenue Line to Be Built
to East Seventy-Fourth Street.
Construction of the South Mount Ta
bor extension of the Hawthorne-avenue
carllne was started Thursday at the
corner of Kast Sixtieth and Kast Divi
sion streets by the Portland Railway.
Light A. Power Company. The route
of this new line Is as follows: Be
ginning at Division and East Sixtieth
streets, east on Division to East Sixty
first, south on Sixty-first to Twenty
ninth avenue, and thence to East Seventy-fourth
street.
It will be a single track, with such
turnouts as may be necessary, and will
be operated as part of the Hawthorne
avenue carllne. It will be one mile
long. Property owners of South Mount
Tabor subscribed to a fund of 115,000
in order to secure this line. The line
will extend through a new and grow
ing district.
Agitation for this line was started
three years ago, and the South Mount
Tabor Improvement Club was organ
ized to undertake the raising of the
115.600. E. T. Peterson is president and
J. E. Rand secretary. Through the co
operation of the citizens of the district
rights of way and a franchise were se
cured and the money was collected and
placed on deposit In a Portland bank.
The extension will accommodate a
prosperous section. The Evening Star
Grange and the Altenhelm. of the Port
land German Aid Society, are near the
end of the extension, besides many
homes have been erected on Section Line
and Powell Valley roads tributary to
the line.

SEED CORN SOUGHT
Seven Tons of Acclimated Va
riety Are Distributed.
0.-W. R. & N. STARTS MOVE
Thousands of 'Acre to Be Planted
to Maixe in North-west as Result
of Campaign, Declares
; Agriculturist Smith.
The distribution of seed corn by the
O.-W. R. A N. was completed last
week and more than five ton of select
ed varieties given away. A ton, of corn
is sufficient to plant 200 acres.
.The demand for seed exceeded ex
pectations.1 Requests came from all
sections and what the O.-W; R. N.
designed for Its territory became a
statewide and general Northwest de
mand. The Southern Pacific bought and dis
tributed two tons of seed and every
person requesting corn was either sup
plied or directed to Arms having the
acclimated variety needed for planting
in Oregon. Washington and Idaho.
Many who sent in a request for
enough seed to plant .an acre an
nounced their Intention of planting
larger areas. The seven tons dis
tributed by the O.-W. R. & N., and the
Southern Pacific, sufficient to plant 1400
acres, will therefore constitute-but part
of the acreage devoted to corn this
season.
"The idea originated with the O.-W.
R. &. N. and it became popular at once,
said C. L. Smith, the line's agricultur
ist. "A large majority of landowners
did not know that corn might be grown
successfully in. the Ndrthwesti :Some of
them were not aware that in 191 1-Oregon.

the yield for the United States was, fori
the same year 2.6SL488.000 busneis.
"The value of the corn crop of the
United States is large. The yield for
1911 had a farm value of $1,565,253,000.
This wealth grew out of the soil in
four months of rain and sunshine, and
some drought, too. This was sufficient
to pay the interest-bearing debt of the
Nation, which was $963,776,770, to pay
$375,000,000 for the Panama Canal, and
leave a balance of morejthan $226,000.
090 for other purposes.
"Corn is the most valuable crop
grown on the farm. Its uses are varied.
It not alone enters Into articles of
food for man, but is invaluable for
stork. .
"Thousands of acres will be planted
to corn as a result of the movement In
augurated by the O.-W. R. & N. Lands
will become more valuable, production
will be increased, beef cattle and hogs
will be more abundant and bank ac

One of the arguments advanced by
the committee of tha East Seventy

25.000 people have settled in the dis
trict between Powell Valley road, the
city limits south and East Eighty-second
street on the east.
H. T. Cummings. president of the as
sociation, declared that in no section
of the city had a more rapid growth
taken place than here.
"I came here nine years ago," said
Mr.- Cummings, "when there were but
half a dozen houses scattered here and
there. At Lents there was a school
house. I assisted in forming the Ar

wards taken into the city. We took
part of Lents and part of wooastocn
districts to . form our district. Both
objected to losing their territory, but
we formed the Arleta district. And
now we have more than 25.000 people.
"We have the Lents schoolhouse of
22 rooms, the Arleta building, the Cres
ton, the Woodstock, the Weston, at
Woodmere, and the district will erect
another schoolhouse on East Sixty

new Iron pipe, replacing the small pipe
and wooden mains, at a cost of about
$250,000, many times more than the
Woodmere water works cost. Large
reinforcing mains were laid all through
the district, so that the entire territory
is now well supplied with Bull Run

State Highway Commissioner, and other
members of the State Highway Board
are due to arrive In Chehalls Wednes
day morning, en route over the Pacific
Highway on a tour of inspection of
that portion of the route south of Che
halls. Chehalls Citizens' Club expects
to entertain the party at luncheon
Wednesday. County Commissioner
Thomas H.. Gray, of Cowlitz, member
from the Third District, will escort
them over the route.
The visitors will find two miles south
of Chehalls another mile of 16-foot con
crete roadway under construction on
the route of the Pacific Highway,
which, when completed, will make a
hard-surface pavement for a distance
of five miles southeast of this city. At
Toledo and extending toward Cowlitz
Prairie, they will find another mile of
grade almost completed, on which fs
to be laid a 16-foot concrete pavement.
Most of the highway between Chehalls
and Toledo Is in good shape, but from
the latter point toward the Cowlitz
County line some extensive construc
tion work will be required.
At Toledo the Cowlitz River Is
crossed over a big county bridge that
has been built for years. Just across
the Cowlitz the Pacific Highway will
follow the line of a new survey that
was made when H. L. Bowlby was
Highway Commissioner and wMch
gives easy grades the entire distance
from Toledo to the Cowlitz County line.
It is expected to ask for the expend!
ture of a portion of the state fund on
the road south of Toledo, but County
Commissioner Gray expects also to
spend a goodly sum of county funds cm
the same work.
It is expected that on the coming
trip the State Board will settle defi
