AS. AN INNOCENT PURCHASER.
Position of Trustee in Bankruptcy When
Lien Record Is Not Filed.

Position of Trustee in Bankruptcy When
| Lien Record Is Not Filed.
Last Monday Judge Bellinger rendered
decision which will interest all persons
doing business, and is of particular local
interest because both parties in the case
are known here. In the matter of the
estate of J. S. Booth, bankrupt, it was
decided that a trustee in bankruptcy who
acquires property covered by lien,
| which is not recorded, is in the same
position as an innocent purchaser. The
decision follows:
"In this case there is claim of liens
by H. F. Fischer, creditor of the bank
rupt, growing out of the following facts !:
On January %, 1898, the bankrupt, be-
ing indebted to the claimant in the sum
of $50, gave to him his promissory note
OF that date for the amount, and to
secure the same, with his wife, executed
bond, by which the obligors bound
themselves, in the sum of $3.50, to sell
and convey certain parcels of real estate
belonging to the obligors. and upon
which this bond is now sought to be en-
forced as lien.
"On the same date, the bankrupt be-
ing indebted to the said Fischer in the
further sum of 5000, gave second prom-
lssory note for that amount, and as Sc
curity therefor executed and delivered
to the claimant a chattei mortgage upon
a steam launch then under construction
by the maker of the note. The chattel
mortgage was not fled for record, nor
was there any record OF the bond, or
other notice of either Of these instru-
ments. The referee found against the
claim of the liens, and such finding is
approved.
The bankruptcy act provides that
claims which for want of record or othe
reasons would not have been valid liens
as against the claims of creditors of the
bankrupt. shall not be liens against his
estate. These liens could not have been
maintained against a purchaser of the
property, for value, without notice. In
other words, this property is property
that the bankrupt might have transferred
free from these claim of liens, to any
purchaser not having notice; and it is
not claimed in this case that there was
any actual notice of che existence of
these liens. The trustee of the bank
rupt's estate stands in the position of
purchaser for value, without notice.

After Back Fees.

A step has been taken by the county
court which is calculated to save the
county many dollars in the future and
possibly afford it some revenue from past
transactions. In filing in estate cases the
law. provides that a fee shall be charged
commensurate with the value of the es-
tate. This fee must be charged at the
time of filing aud it is in lieu of all fees
for further filing ia the estate. It has
been the custom to base this fee upon
the probable valuation placed upon the
estate at time of filing, but experience
has shown that the inventory value
which is shown later is always greatly in
excess of the first estimate given. In
this way the county has been lesing
money on nearly every transaction of
this nature.
Ehe ceurt has instructed the clerk to
review all papers which have been filed
in estate cases since the passage of the
Law establishing the present free system
and collect fees estimated upon the act
ual value of estates.

Council Dorngs.

At meeting of the council Monday
evening little business appeared. The
bill of Attorney Watson, of Albany, fol
$500 for attorneys fees in the case of the
city against the water company, was
referred to the finance committee There
has been some little misunderstanding
about the amount to be paid for these
services. The city entered into con-
tract to pay $500 for attorneys fees.
One hundred and fifty dollars of this
amount has been paid and now comes
this bill for $500. Owing to the amount
of work done in the case, there seems to
be a disposition to allow something more
than the original amount.
The petitions of Adolph Peterson and
Tam Case for the opening of alleys be-
tween their property and the college
grounds, were referred to the street
committee.

1t appearing to the court that Lobster
voting precinct had lost its greatest part,
numerically, to Lincoln county at the
time of the creation of that county and
there were now but 10 voters in that
precinct, it was deemed insufficient to
Justify the county in its maintenance
and the precinct was merged into Alsea
precinct No. Is and the boundary of that
precinct will conform thereto.

Hector and 4S others asking that the
boundaries of Fairmount precinct be
changed, was granted, and it was ordered

Democrat Against Fusion.

In the following letter to the Oregonian
Hon. B. F. Jones, of Toledo, has filed his
protest against fusion with populism and
espousal of a cause which is diametri-
cally opposed to all that Jeffersonian and
Jacksonian democracy has ever hoped
and fought for.
One by one the old-time democrats
are getting back to first principles. Hon.
William Colvig, the democratic warhorse
of Southern Oregon, recently voiced his
opinion in no uncertain language /; and
Hon. George E. Chamberlain is credited
by the East Oregopian as saying: Il
believe the democrats of Oregon had
better go it alone next year. and stand or
fall under our own banner. We have
| tried fusion, have fought shoulder to
shoulder with the populists and free
silver republicans, and where do we
stand? With no party except in name !;
with the task before us of again building
up an organization, just as though we
had never had democratic organization
in Oregon" This is good, sound doctrine
and if the democrats of Oregon follow
along these lines, they may in the course
of few years hope 10 have an organiza-
ton worthy of the name.
In our late war the very best blood of
the land was represented in the army
and on the battle field. It was our boys
from North, South, East and West, fresh
from the public schools, and will we dare
to stand up and tell these boys. who
fought our battles for US, that they were
wrong, and in the face of American
history that they have not been taught
to be for expansion? We might as well
argue that this government never started
out with only Is small states.
If the democrats put out platform
deneuncing trusts and indorsiug FIRE Q
trade and expansion, they may hope to
win in the coming national election.
