An mutatis lei mortgage on the farm of a mighty goad bulsness
man. A crackerjack lawyer passed on this title several years ago,
but he overlooked this mortgage. Warranty deeds were given
for every transfer. But the unsatisfied mortgage still stood,
until discovered by us In abstracting the title, we obtained a
satisfaction from the Mortgagee, and the owner Is resting
easier.
Maybe your title is like the above, better find out now, putting
it off may cost you a bunch of money,

Rose Festival.
Portland, May 3. the Oregon pal
ate Is never without a relish for a
ooi warm Boaking, growing rain,
jut never his U tasted more -like a
full meal than during the last days
3t dry, record breaking April.
"Raise more hogs and get more
A-ealth by sending the Oregon brand
if packing house products to every
market of the world" Is a motto that
ihould be amouncel from every
school and pulpit, and be emblaioned
m the walls of every commercial
organization In the Btate.
The Horsa and Cattle sales lr
Portland ha opened the eyes of live
stock breeders, l.i every part of the
lUnited States and Canada to the fact
that Oregon Is tha best market fo
good things In that line In the Unite
Otates.
Without regard to the exact spo
In which they may reside, Oregon pec
p'e are beginning to realize fully th
tremendous benellt of the Annur
Uose Festival, which this year begin
June 7, continuing until the 12th
This Festival emphasizes to people at
1 distance the extremely favorable
climatic conditions which make pos
ilble the production of tha fines 1
roles 'n the world.
County Judge J. B. Messick of Bu
iter county, upon the request of sever
al county courts of the state, has Is
sued a call for, a state meeting of the
County Courts and County Commls
iioners, at which It Is expected to
perfect a state organization similar to
those exlstant In other states. Judgt
Lionel R. Webster, of Multnomah
county, will act as chairman of the
iHeceptlon camrolttes, with power to
name his assoclites. The gathering
will convene at ten o'clock Tuesday
morning, June 7, and continue
through the day. An arrangement
has been made for the county courts
and Judges to secure a point of vant
age to witness the Rose Festival pa
rade Monday night and also the one
Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday morning
the convention will close its session,
devoting the afternoon to the tea
tivlttes.
County Commissioners, Sheriffs and
Engineers have derlvel great bene
fit from their organizations through
out the entire United States, and It
Is certainly meet that the county
courta and county commissioners
who practically handle the public af
fairs of each county, should get to
igether for the benefit of each other's
experience.
Oregonl&ns don't wish anybody
hard luck, but they never get suf
flclently sympathetic, when the fruit
crop falls In tba older states, to
"mark down" the price at which we
i "hold up'' the balance of the world
for Its best apple?.
