TORRENS
SYSTEM
OF LAND TITLES
BROUGHT INTO USE IN THIS
COUNTY FOR FIRST TIME.
R. L. Sheridan, Who Owns a Tract
Lying Xonr Month of Bnttcr Creek,
the First to Take Advantage of Its
Pcxnillnr Provisions System Has a
Foothold In Some Other Counties of
the State When Its Conditions Are
Compiled With the Stntc Guarantees
Title.
As the result of a decree given by
Circuit Judge H. J. Bean this morning,
the Torrens system of registering land
Is to be brought Into use In this county
and much Interest has been aroused
in consequence. Several times In the
past suits of this nature have been
brought In Umatilla county, but never
has one been carried through so as to
require the application of the Torrens
law.
B. L. Sheridan Is the party who now
seeks to have his land registered un
der the Torrens system. Over a year
and a halt ago he brought suit In the
circuit court, through his attorneys.
Carter & Raley, 'to clear title to 80
acres of land near the mouth of But
ter creek. The land in question is the
north half of the northeast quarter of
section 11, township 4 north of range
28. For 40 years the land has been
held under a misdescription, the deed
held by Mr. Sheridan being in reality
for a corresponding piece of land a
half mile south of the place which he
occupied. Through his attorneys he
brought suit to secure title to the land
upon which ho has been living, also
to have the land registered under the
Torrens system. By the decree given
by Judge Bean this morning his re
quest Is granted and it is now up to
Recorder Hendley to give Mr. Sheri
dan a certificate of title. This morn
ing the recorder was present by J. R.
Raley, attorney for Sheridan, with a
copy of the decree and requested to
issue the certificate. This he Is requir
ed to do under the law.
What It Is.
For a number of years there has
been a law In Oregon which makes It
possible for a freeholder to have his
land registered under the Torrens
system, and In Multnomah, Malheur
and some other counties It has been
used quite extensively. The principle
of the system is that the stnte guar
antees title. A realty owner Is given
a certificate of title by the county re
corder. This answers the puroose of
a deed and Is recorded. After two
years the certificate is absolutely In
contestable. However, any one hav
ing a valid claim may sue for a Judg
ment, and If the same Is allowed the
party Is reimbursed from an Indemnity
fund held by the state and derived
from money received from those who
secure certificates under the Torrens

system. A property owner securing
a certificate of title Is required to pay
a tax of one mill and the money so
derived is placed in the indemnity
fund. All mortgages or Hens upon
the land are required to be noted upon
the back of the title certificate and un
less so noted are not valid against the
property. When the land changes
hands the new owner Is given a new
tltlo certificate by the county recorder.
"The merit of the Torrens system
lies In the fact that It makes realty
transfers much easier and safer,"
said J. R. Raley in speaking upon the
subject this afternoon. "When the
Torrens system Is used no abstracts
are necessary and one may ascertain
easily and definitely how a title lies.
It Is especially beneficial In cases
where titles have become confused,
and In connection with heirship lands
upon which latter subject the Oregon
laws are weak.".
WOMEN AS IRRIGATORS.
Scarcity of Labor Causes Women to
Bon Gum Boots.
Labor conditions In this part of the
great west are becoming something
fierce, as the saying Is, says the Baker
City Democrat.
Men for any kind of employment
cannot be had and the man who has
a Job to do must do It himself If It
must be done.
Over In Eagle valley, appropriately
called "The Garden of Eden," wives
and daughters, of necessity are forced
to assist husband and father in water
ing the soil. Here Is the land of milk
and honey vast fields of alfalfa and
the apiary. Vast canals furnish water
for Irrigation and at this time of the
year the lateral ditches must be kept
running full of water and the overflow
properly directed over the lands.
Men cannot -be secured for love or
money to do this work and perforce
the women must put on gum boots
and carry the shovel. And they are
equal to the emergency. God bless
them. They are always faithful and
true.
FIRST RECEPTION
OF COMPANY L WAS AN
UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS,
Several Hundred of the Elite of the
City Attended The Program, Even
in Its Formal Pliases, Was Delight
f ul and Unconstrained Dancing
Followed the Program, and it Is
Probable That Dancing Parties Will
Be Given Under thet-Compnny's Aua
plots.
If it Is true that the character of a
home is shown by the quality of the
guests entertained therein, then com
pany L, third Infantry O. N. G., has
been most fortunate; for at its first
reception given last evening In Its ar
mory abode the place was filled with
hundreds of men and women from
among the best people of the city.
That the affair passed off pleasantly
for everyone and was a splendid sue
cess,' seems certain from the com
mendatory remarks that have been
made.
As previously planned, the reception
began at 8:30 In the evening and for
over an hour the arriving guests were
greeted, the receiving line being com
posed of the six members of the re
ception commute, headed by Captain
Kern, and the follqwing ladles, who
served as patronesses: Mrs. T. T,
Geer, Mrs. J. R. Dickson, Mrs. M. A.
Kader, Mrs. W. E. Brock and Mrs. m,
P. Marshall.
. About 9:30 the assemblage was call
ed to order by First Lieutenant Dan
P. Smythe, who then introduced Cap
tain Kern for a few remarks of wel
come. A vocal selection was next
given by Mrs. Anna Selkirk-Norton
who was compelled to respond to an
encore. Ex-Governor T. T. Geer was
then Introduced as a former commander-in-chief
of the Oregon national
guard, and spoke briefly upon the sub
ject of militia organizations and
prophesied that the hearty support of
the people of Pendleton will be given
the members of company L.
Following the above another selec
tion was given by Mrs. Norton, and
Judge S. A. Lowell was then Intro
duced for a brief address. At the
conclusion of his remarks Mrs. Norton
again sang, and then Johnson's orches
tra struck up "The Star Spangled
Bonner," which closed the reception
program.
From 10:30 until 12 dancing follow
ed and In Rplte of the warm evening, a
very enjoyable time was had.
The success of the reception last
night was very gratifying to the of
ficers and members of company L, and
Indicates that some very pleasant so
clay times will be had by the com
pany. It Is the Intention of the com
pany to give dancing parties frequent
ly and an Informal dance will proba
bly be given In the near future.

' Wool at Ontario.
The first consignment of wool of
the season was received here today
from Barren valley by the Malheur
Mercantile company. E. A. Fraser,
manager of this company, states that
the wool market this season is about
the same as last season, ranging from
18 cents to 20 cents per pound; but,
he say, this price means more mon
ey to the grower this year on ac
count of this season's clip being Of
longer staple and finer grade, says a
correspondent from Ontario. There Is
no break In the fibre this year, be
cause the growth has been continu
ous and strong The superior grade
of the clip Is due to the fine condi
tion of the sheep during the past
winter and spring. The clip is some
curlier this season than usual. Mr.
Fraser estimates a wool product of
abr.ut 3,000,000 pounds that will be
shipped from Ontario and Vale together.
