RELEASE OF MORTGAGES.
One of the brilliantly stupid accom
plishments of the last legislature was the
act requiring all mortgages to be released
' by a formal release, executed with the
same formalities as a conveyance of
land, by the mortgagee himself or the
person appearing by the record to be the
owner of the mortgage. Frior to this
act the holder of a note seen red by a
mortgage could by affidavit show that
he was the holder of the note and, with
out having a formal transfer of the mort
gage upon the records, release the mort
gage. Now a purchaeer' of a note se
cured by a mortgage must, in order to
place himself in a situation to release
the mortgage when the note is paid, have
in addition to an assignment of the note,
a transfer of tne mortgage made and re
corded, and instead of being able to step
to the clerk's office and cancel the mort
gage upon the margin of the record, he
must go to an attorney or notary and
have a release prepared and executed
the same as a deed and then have the
same recorded. The expense is consid
erably increased and great inconvenience
is frequently experienced by reason of
the removal of the original mortgage in
case of a transfer of the note.
The law must have originated with
some fool notary or some of the incom
petent roustabouts to whom our supreme
court have issued certificates of admis
sion to the bar, and whose principal
business is writing conveyances.
A REPUTED VOAL MINE.
If it be true that an abundant supply
of coal has been discovered near Lyle's
landing on the Columbia,the owner of it
will be fortunate indeed: but he ia not
the only one who will reap a bene
fit. An abundant supply of coal
within easy access to the Middle Colum
bia would have a marked influence upon
the industrial history of this section and
the development of a large section of
Kastern Oregon and Washington. The
fuel question alone is a serious draw
back to a very largo extent of fertile
lands in this portion of the two states
Farmers of Sherman and portions of
Wasco and Klickitat counties haul wood
from 20 to 50 miles or buy coal at the
railroad stations paying therefor $8 to
$12 per ton. The railroad company haul
their coal either from the Sound, Eos
lyn, Wash., or Rock Springs, Wyeming.
This fact increases the expenses of rail
road transportation and is paid for, in
part at least, by the producers.
A great drawback to manufacturing
enterprises throughout this section of
the two states is lack of good fuel. A
discovery like the one reported would
solve many obstacles to the development
of oar resources and the upbuilding of
this and other towns along the river
we sincerely hope 'the report is true.
Contrary to expectation Judge Bel
linger has denied a new trial on the
cases of the government against James
Lotan and Seid Back. The decision will
cause surprise among those who have
closely watched the evidence at the trial.
That twelve sensible men should convict
on the testimony of an admitted per
jurer like Blum, seems hardly possible.
The added fact that several jurymen ex
pressed doubt of the defendant's guilt
and declared they were coerced into a
verdict, makes the statement reasonable
that Mr. Lotan and the Chinese mer
chant have hardly been treated with
fairness. Mr. I-otau was a professional
politician and for this he is to be cen
sured, but still the offense of being a
wirepuller and manipulator of offices and
.men, however inimical it may be to good
government, ought not to be a motive
for conviction on thechargeof smuggling
unless there be better evidence than
that produced in court last April. As a
' politician of astuteness Lotan would not
place himself in the bands of Blum for
$20,000 or double that sum. If Lotan
and Joe Simon were to be arraigned on
the charge of being professional pol
iticians many good citizens would like to
eee them convicted and shorn of power.
Presidential booms are being con
structed already, but the wise politicians
will keep as much out of sight as possi
ble for somtttime to come. If President
Cleveland undertakes the construction of
va boom forMr. Morrison, or in fact any
one -else, it "will catch very few sticks.
. T.he stream of the popular vote will not
" flow bv Cleveland's ranch nest year un
less all signs fail and any attempt of the
. present administration to name the com
ing man, will certainly end the prospects
of the man. In fact the people of this
country have about as much use for
Cleveland as a mule has for an Indian.
Thb Chronicle ia pleased to note the
clearing of some of the streets of loose
stones and other debris. The street
leading up the hill from the south end of
Washington street is one that needs at
tention in this respect ; few of the streets
are more used and recently there has
been much loose broken rock in it. We
are also pleased to note, and many citi
zens will join us, that steps are being
taken by the council to compel the re
pair of sidewalks. Let the good work
go on.
The latest attempt at competitive
journalism in Portland has failed. The
Sun sank behind the hiils yesterday and
did not appear this morning. While it
is true the Oregonian is a great news
paper and covers the newspaper field
thoroughly, yet we are- sorry the Sun
has failed. It made a wonderful fight
to maintain its footing, but the odds
were too great. Portland should have
two morning papers, but the failure of
the San will delay competition for a
long time.
A leading daily says that "the criti
cism upon Mr. Dolph'a criticism of a re
cent court opinion appears to be based
on the assumption that he has mistaken
morals for law." From the opinion it
self it is apparent that it if simply and
entirely based on the assumption that he
has mistaken what he thinks of the law
for a well established rule of law.
An Elephant Chases His Trainer.
It seems the elephant had a grudge
against bis trainer for two or three days
previous and bad been acting very vic
ious. Ho would raise his trunk high in
the air, trumpet and tear madly at the
huge chain which held him. It was
only by accident that the cause of his
grievance was found out. As the pro
cession was passing the store of J. B.
Crossen, the Grocer, he was seen to
stand and look longingly inside, while
tubsful of tears streamed down his coun
tenance. It was then surmised that be
cause his trainer had not bought his
groceries and vegetables from Crossen's
Grocery had occasioned his wrath. Ele
phants and everybody else know that
the best place to trade is with J. B.
Croe6ei?, the Grocer. al-lt
