Settlers on Ditch Land Can Secure
Title to Their MolJIncs.
. Those settlers who hold contracts
with the D. I. &. P. Co. for land
that has been patented to the State
can secure deeds to the land if they
so desire. After complying with
the regulations of the 'law as re
gards settlement aud cultivation
they can maUfc final , proof, after
which the dltclt company will re
lease its Hen, whereupon the State
will issue a deed for the land to the
settler. The company protects
itself by taking a mortgage on the
laud for the amount of the pay
ments still due.
In the contract that the settler
sirins with the company when laud
Ma purchased, he agrees to "execute
to the company, in proper torm a
mortgage to secure the perforuirince
vby him of the provlsiou of this cpn
tract" when legal tite, to the lauds
!s transferred to tha settler.
In some wavs it would be to the
.settler's benefit to hae a deed to
Mils. laud. vWe could bitten .borrow
deed. lie could ,sell it if he so de
sired at much better advantage,
as itwQiddjthen be only a regular
transfer of deeded land and would
cut oufe a lot of red tape that is
necessaryiwhen it is desired to sell
before thudeed to the laud is issued.
The corhpany is ready to release
its lien aud take mortgages frjh
those settlers who can make final
proof, and will be glad to do so. la
this way those who desire deeds to
their land can secure them.
