certificate to Grayson -M. T. Murphy
and the latter obtained a sheriffs deed

Patton and all other Judgment creditors

"Patton. by Wa attorney, John W.

title, claiming that the Judgment ob

Salem. Or.. Dee. 2. At no tlmj
since there has been a law In this
State providing for the registration of.
motor vehicles has thvre been as great
number of cars licensed within a
given period as during the week Juct
ended, according to Secretary of Stale
Ben W. Olcott. During the five days
outside of Christmas nearly 6000 cars
were licensed by the secretary of
slate. This was an average of nearly
1100 per day, making the total of
1V1S licenses Issued with the close of
the week approximately 21.500. At
the same time last year there was
approximately IB. 000 oars registered.
For the corresponding week last yer
less "than 1000 licenses were Issued.
Other Lleeaiet Granted
In addition to this number of auto
mobile - licenses. 25 1818 chauffour
licenses have been issued, 400 motor-
Odes, registered and 225 dealers furn- i
lshed 1918 licenses.
"In order to take cre of this large
volume of business It has been neces
sary for the clerical force in the
automobile department to work ovvr
tme nights.' said Mr. Olcott. "and
as the great demand for 1918 licensee
will very likely continue for the next.
week or 10 days It will require extra
efforts on the part of that depart
ment to Issue the lieenses for all apv
plications received each day.
Qslek Actio Is Wasted
"It has been the practice of the
offide to issue licenses on the day of
the receipt of tha application, provided
correct form. If
of the board.
Costpaay Was Bel cased
Because of litigation over the waters
of the Chewaucan river, from which the
company expected to obtain water "for
the project, tha board early this year
released the company from its obliga
tion to complete the project, but on
condition that It should make satlsfao
tcry settlement with the settlers who
had acquired land In the project. The
company is doing this, and Attorney
Wood asked the board to substitute the
securities for the bond, "as he argued
the securities were ample protection to
the state In seeing that proper settle
ment is made with the settlers and the
con.pany should not be required to nay
the 81100 premium when its venture
was entirely a lose.
Ckasges Are Hale
The board expressed a willingness to
do this, and Attorney General Brown
prepared a form of contract, which was
submitted to the company and returned
to the board this week witn certain
changes In it. It Is to consider these
changes that a meeting of the desert
lend board is desired, with the governor
and attorney general present.
