) THE CORMLIS 6HETTE.
TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1902,
WORTH MILLIONS.
In his remarks Friday morn
ing, before tbebusinets men who
had assembled in the recepticn
parlors at the City Hall, Mr. G.
M. McKinney, of Chicago, gen
eral immigration agect for the
Harriman railroad system, said
that he had visited the majority
of the exeat experimental sta
tions of the United States and
yet he had been able to learn
something from his visit to the
station at the Oregon Agricul
tural College. Never before had
Tia VimtA nf "steamed silase. "
This method was discovered in J
the course of experiments at the
O. A. C experiment station, and
Mr. McKinney says it will revo
lutionize the dairying industry of
this country, and add untold
- millions of wealth. "It is only
a matter of time," said Mr, Mc
Kinney, "when the government
will recommend the adoption of
this niethed. If it had been dis
covered by some private indi
vidual, who wished to take ad
vantage of the opportunity it
offered for revenue, he could have
had the method patented and
reaped a rich reward."
No slate in the Union has so
much to offer the energetic immi
grant of small means whose aim
is to make himself a home and
assist in converting the potential
resources about him into actual
wealth for himself and the com
munity, as has the state of Ore
gon. This noble country, whose
many advantages have been de
signedly kept from the knowledge
of those outside of her borders,
that neighboring states might be
exploited, is now in the position
of a vast reserve of rich and fertile
land to be thrown open to home-
seekers.
Record Your Deed.
Many unrecorded deeds ot rea
property can be brought to light
at almost a moment's notice.
reople seem to be eitner very
ignorant of the law or very care
less. This negligence or lg
ranee or whatever it may be
termed, may prove expensive in
the long run. There is a law
which reads that deeds, to be
valid, must be recorded within
five days from the date of con
. veyance of same.
On page 1364, Hill's Anno
tated L,aws of Oregon, 1887, is
an article which reads: "Every
conveyance of real property with
in this state hereafter made which
shall not be recorded as provided
in this title within five days
thereafter shall be void against
any subsequent purchaser in
good faith and for a valuable
consideration of the same real
property, or any portion thereof,
whose convevance shall be first
duly recorded."
For instance, A sells a parcel
of land to B, and B fails to have
the deed recorded within five
days. On the sixth day after the
transaction between A and B, C
chances to meet A and asks him
if his property is for sale. Know
ing that no record of the convey
ance had been made, A sells the
same land to C. The latter acts
in good faith throughout the mat
ter and immediately has his deed
recorded. The property belongs
to C according to law. Of course,
B may bring action against A
for damages, but like any law
suit, the outcome would be diffi
cult to foretell.
On the same page of Hill':
Laws for 1897 is a note which
reads: "An unrecorded deed is
effective as between parties hav
ing actual notice, and as to them
it 'carries title. The statute ap
plies only in favor of parties act
ing in good faith, and a subse
quent deed with notice of a prior
unrecoroed deed passes no title
whatever."
On the same page is a uote re
ferrine to the matter of several
conveyances, which reads as fol
lows: 'Where neither of several
conveyances is recorded within
the five days here provided, the
one which is first recorded will
prevail." Fleschner vs. Sump-
ttr, 12 Or. 161.
It is possible that tuere snay
be later laws bearing on this mat
ter, but we are not informed of
them and several of the county
officials whose duties bring them
into closs relation with this sub
ject are of the opinion that the
above citations are of the laws at
present in force. So . it will
readily be seen that to be on the
sate side in Any event, it is an
act of wisdom to have an imme
diate record made of a property
that may be acquired.
For What Reason?
Editor Gazette: What the
taxpayers seem to want to know,
is why have the taxes due against
the 4 'Hof glands" not been paid
long ago. Why has the sheriff
not st Id that property for those
taxes? The amount delinquent
according to the rolls is $3949-59.
covering the years 1895. 1897,
1898, 1899 and 1900. These
taxes have been regularly as
sessed against the property, and
are as fair and honest as any on
those rolls. Then why have
they not been collected?
It is idle to say they , are not
a valid lien, for the reason that
the laws provide for just such
people by requiring the county
to bid in such property for the
delinquent tax.
Why does not the sheriff put
this property up for sale and sell
it, or let it be bid in by the
county? Is not that his duty, if
he has the tax in his hands for
collection? If he has not those
items in his hands for collection,
then why not? The law pro
vides what county officers shall
do in the way of collecting taxes
due the county. TheH why have
these taxes been allowed to re
main delinquent, while other
persons property has been sold?
Is it in the power of the officers
to discriminate in favor of one
taxpayer and against other tax
payers? Citizen.
Corvallis, July 21, IC92.
Price Will Be Stiff.
"Prices of hops are hitting the
high places," in the language ol
a dealer, and no mistake.
The recent windstorm in Ore
p-on. savs the Telegram, de
stroyed about 2000 bales, which
at the present price of 20 cents a
pound represents a good lump of
money, although the loss is con
sidered light to what it mi$ht
have been when one considers
the velocity of the wind.
A cablegram from London says
the crop there is improving, and
the vield there is estimated at
450,000 cwt, or 250,000 bales,
American weight. The German
crop is also looking well. There
is a big decrease in the New
York crop, which is estimated 50
per cent over that of last year.
Whether prices will go any
higher or not is problematical
Dealers do not think so. About
two-thirds of the Pacific Coast it
Kinder contract, and in the hands
of dealers, who are selling to
brewers at 2 f. o. b. It looks
as if brewers will have to dance
to the tune of dealers this year,
for thev cannot very well hide

are cleaned .out. I hey seem in
no hurry thus far to stock up at
23 cents, hoping something will
happen to knock the bottom out
of the market, but nothing short
of a miracle will serve them in
eettiue hops cheaper than the
dealers ask this year.
Has Work To Do.
Prof. VV. A. Henry, of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, who recently
made a tour of the Willamette val
ley in the interest of agriculture
and for the purpose of visiting the
various colleges, had the following
to say of the O. A. C. and her
duties:
Your experiment station has
good reputation back East among
kindred institutions, and no college
has a greater work to perform than
yours. Much that is useful and
helpful in other institutions will
not avail for Oregon agiiculture,
w 1 11
xou nave peculiar prooiems in
your agriculture which can only
be successfully snved by your own
station. It must work them out
I sincerely hope the business men
will join with the farmer and make
common cause in advancing scien
tific agriculture in Oregon. Every-
Dotty is interested in the success
and advancement of the agricul
ture of this region. In the East
the governors of the states of Wis
consin, Michigan, Illinois and In
diana all commented on the work
of their agricultural colleges and
experiment stations in their last
annual messages. I mention this
to show how matters are changing
with 'us and I am sure they will
change with you in the same way
The Horse Was Found.
Sheriff Burnett of Benton county.
came over from Oorvallis Tuesday
alter a i year-old boy charged
with stealing a horse. The boy's
name is liaker and he made his
home with a farmer near Winkle's
butte. The boy had been home to
visit his mother at Springfield and
stayed a week orer his time. On
bis return he was lacked up pretty
lively and that evening he went to
the barn, took a horse, and when
he reached this place, turned the
animal loose and started it home
ward as he had done on occasions
before. The horse was found be
low here by Sheriff Burnett as be
came to town. It is not believed
by anyone that tbe boy intended to
to steal the horse, but th sheriff
could not do lesa than serve the
warrant. No effort was macU? by
the owner to find his hors?, but
made haste to swear out a warrant
for the boy's arrest. Our sympa
thy is in favor of the fatherless boy.

By way of Correction.
Ed. Gazktte : I said in letter of July
3 that the tax roll, page 168-9, for 1901,
showed tbe Coast Land and Live Stock
Company's property was assessed at
something less than 80 cents per acre,
the figures being 16,401 acres and the to
tal valuation being $13,017, and so it ap
pears on the assessor's roll. But I have
had the roll examined further, and that
in the sheriff's office, a copy of the other
shows that the board of equalization
raised this assessment to $20,510, or f 1.2-3
per acre.
Mr. Davis accuses me ef wilful misrep
resentation. That is not correct. The
lands were assessed as stated in my
former letter, but I did not then know
that the board of equalization had raised
the assessor's figures . Citizen.
