The two banks we deal with have stood loyally by us-our
thousands of customers have been generous in their patronage

COURT, UPHOLDS
TORREHS LAW
Colorado Puts liberal Con
struction on Law in Force
in Oregon.
The provisions of the Tori-ens land
act of Colorado, recently upheld by the
unreme court of that state, are similar
to the Torrens law in Oregon, and the
decision of that court therefore becomes
of peculiar Interest here. Attorney Bob-
en j, wngnt nas anaiysea me opinion
of the Colorado oonrt and expresses his
views in the following Interview:
"By reason of a great many .real as-
, tate transactions being made all tha
time, it will be Interesting td those who
have taken advantage of the Torrena
law to know about some points decided
In tha latest decision of a - supreme
court The Torrens law has been In ef
fect in Oregon for several years now
and was adopted by Washington at its
last legislature. .-
"The supreme court of Colorado is
the last court which has spoken upon
It, and this was in tha case of People
x rel Smith vs. Crissman, registrar of
titles, decided last, .December. Tne de
cision was unanimous on all points.
Oregon Act Comprehensive.
"Briefly stated, the court decided up
on an objection that the title of the
mnt which is. 'An aot concerning titles.'
did not sufficiently describe the legis
lation contained tnerem, was witnoui
merit Our Oregon acta has a more
comprehensive title, but- thta point
olearly indicatea the tendency of the
courts to a very upanu cunairuuuon.

there was an examiner to make a pre
liminary examination thla did not vio
late the constitution prohibiting the
taking of property without due process
of law, because the examiner's opinion
was not binding upon the court, but
only for its convenience Ire ascertain
ing the facts.
T'It was also held that the act did
not violate the same section of the con
stitution because it failed to provide af
firmative relief for a defendant who
might prove a better title, and only al
lowed a dismissal against the applicant.
This point waa decided thus on the
ground that a state had control over tha
remedies afforded suitors in its courts
and a defendant had a right to make ap
plication in his own name under the
Torrena act arter aeieaung nia oppon
ent.
"Another Interesting point waa that
tha court, did not perform executive
powers in making rules and instructions
for the performance of the duties of
registrars out tnat sucn power or the
oourt waa Judicial. It would seem by
thla that these rules and regulations
stand upon the , same footing as any
order made by a court upon its clerk.

"Tha last point decided was one upon
a theory that tne act providing that
county clerka ahould be reglatrara in
the several counties, created a new of
fice which was neither filled by ap
pointment nor by election and therefore
agalnat tha requirements of the consti
tution. In thla matter the court held
that it did not create such new off ion
but only changed or added to the dutlea
of an office already existing, no mat
ter by what name it might be called,
and that in doing ao the legislature was
entirely within Its powers.
"Tne recent failure or a oomnanv an
gaged in insuring titles la ample evi

duced to a minimum and has the back
ing of the state of Oregon to carry it
forward from the time the books are
balanced against a certain piece of land.
Is far better than the old and cumber
some system. It la therefore most en
couraging to aee that the Colorado court
in the test case referred to has placed
a liberal and reasonable construction
upon its act which Is similar to that in
Oregon and perhaps more so to the
Washington act. Tha main fnatnn. tn
