THE TORRENS SYSTEM.
At the recent election Cook county,
Illinois, adopted the Torreng system of
registration of land titles, under an act
of the last state legislature authorizing
counties to make 8uch a change. This
system was originated in Australia,
where it has been in practical operation
for many years; and it has also been
adopted, with certain modifications
caused by local conditions, in England
and Prussia. It is designed to simplify
conveyances of f eal estate, to reduce lit
igation over land titles, and to substi
tute security for insecurity in the own
ership of such property. The Illinois
law is a little more complicated than
that of Australia, but practically like it
in all essential particulars. Provision
ia made for a registrar who shall keep a
record of all land titles in the county,
and make transfers thereof on his books,
giving certificates to the ownere, which
will be as readily convertible as a regis
tered bond. The grantor is required to
execute a deed as heretofore which is
not the case in Prussia, "for instance,
where the buyer and eeller may ap
pear before the register and make the
change of ownership without any writ
inif between them, simply by word of
mouth but the deed counts only as an
incident ; it is ' the record of the trans
ference of title.
Under this method, the books of the
reziater show at a glance in whom the
title to the given tract of land is vested
and to what incumbrances and charges
it is subject. Each certificate issued to
a purchaser becomes a new title, and
there in no need to look behind it for
noesiblo defecte. At the end of five
years after the first certificate ia issued,
the statue of limitations shuts out all
adverse claimants, and the title is held
to be perfect. In case of transmission
by will or descent, the title goes not di
rectly to the heirs, but to the executor
or administrator, the same as personal
ty ; and proof of heirship is made before
the court, which orders the title to be
transferred accordingly, on the surrender
and cancellation of the outstanding cer
tificate. The advantages of such a system
are manifest, and the only objection to
be urged against it is that of precedent
or prejudice in favor of the present cttm
bersome, expensive and more or lees un
certain methods of conveyance. It will
take some time for the people of Illinois
to become accustomed to it and willing
to extend its operation throughout the
various counties; but it is such a decid
impropment in every respect that there
can be no doubt about its ultimate ac
ceptance by the whole State. The same
reasons recommend .it for adoption
other States, at least so far as its general
features ot simplicity and security are
concerned, and they should not delay a
change which is so clearly in the in
terest of the owners of all kinds ot real
estate. St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Medicine
When the Dr. Shores' Medical Com
pany was in The Dalles it took the town
by storm. For two weeks they gave ex
hibitions in the opera house and sold
medicine by the barrel full. At that
time The Chronicle told some truths
about the combination which came very
unpleasantly to the ears of the members
When the Shores' Company had drained
the town they went to Oregon City,
where they met with a very different re
ception. Instead of finding only one
newspaper in opposition to them, they
soon had an encounter with the officers
of the law. Dr. Carll, one of the mem
bera of the state medical board, had
Fretwell, the manager arrested and the
case is now nnaer consideration. jiio
following telegrams, taken from the In
denendent of Oreeon City, are self ex

It seems that the newspaper that
warned the people of The Dalles about
the untrustworthiness of this medicine
company and the druggist, who refused
to handle their medicines, were about
right after all.

WHERE WOOL ORO WERS
HAPPY.
ARE
There are good times in Australia, says
the Economist. Wool growing is the
staple farm product there. It is, in fact,
the mainstay of the colonies. A good
demand for wool and an advancing
market naturally make the Australians
feel happy. The largest woolen house
in Melbourne, in its report of September
16, 1895, had this to say :
A fair total has changed hands at ris
. ing prices, and there is every indication
that the demand at the sales will be
particularly keen. The noticeable ex
pansion of trade of the past few months
has lei to. a very large absorption
of the stocks existing at the begining of
the year, and in this respect the position
of the market is regarded most favor
ably. A very promising outlook is pre
sented .for the forthcoming season, of
' which we shall hold the opening sale on
the 16th pros., and a substantial inv
provement on the values of its prede
cessor is assured. The position as re
gards the local market recalls that of
1889, and appears likely, as then, to se
cure a large addition to the total dis
posed of in the sales.
This is very cheering news to A men
can wool growers. Free wool in the
United States enriches the Australian
farmer. But it ruins the American.
