| O'Clock yesterday afternoon, hied them
selves to the Ryan hotel, where a special
car was in waiting and were whisked
| over to Minneapolis by way of the Como
| interurban for a jaunt around the up
river town as the guests of the real estate
men of that city. -Four hours later they
were set down in the spot whence they
| had started, and every man in the party
did not hesitate to declare, in tones that
were full of sincerity, that he had had
one of the pleasanteSt outings of his life.
Minneapolis men may be deficient in
some things, but playing the part of host
is not one of them. The reputation of
the city for liberality did not suffer at
the hands of it's real estate men and the
reputation Of the town is safe as far as
they are concerned. The representatives
of the Minneapolis board were MeSSrs.
Fred James, ubiquitous, suave, smiling,
and keenly alive to the comfort of his
guests; Lester Elwood genial, good
natured, almost too busy looking out
after the creature comfort of the ST. Paul
men to say anything; E. G. Walton, fam

of the real estate board, dignified of bear
ing, as BETTING the position he holds.
From the moment the car started until
it returned to st. Paul, all of these gen
tlemen were assiduous in their attention
to their guests and nothing that could be
thought of was left undone
Leaving the Ryan, a fast run was made
to Minneapolis, where at Central avenue
and Fourth street, number of the other
real estate men boarded the car. run
was then made out toward Northeast
Minneapolis, thence to washington and
Hennepin avenues, to Camden Place, back
to Washington and Hennepn, to Lake
Harriet, to First avenue south, to Wash
ington and back to st. Paul by way of the
old interurban line. 1t had been promised
that the party would be landed art the
Ryan hotel at precisely $40, and SO we'll
was the schedule arranged that it was
exactly that hour when the place of start
ing was reached and the guests dis
mounted.
At Camden place the car was thrown
onto a side track long enough for Senator
Fred Snyder to make a short aonress
upon the Torrens bill, the provisions of
which he explained briefly and clearly to
the members of the party. In part he
said:
AT the last session of the Legislature a
law was passed entitled IAN Act Con-
corning Land Titles in Counties Of This
State Having Over Seventy-fiVe Thousand
Inhabitants. You will at once learn from
this title that the law is applicable to
Hennepin, Ramsey and st. Louis coun-
ties. 1t takes effect Sept. 1, 1901. By it's
provisions the owner of any interest in
land in the three counties mentioned may

derived, through sale for any tax as.
sessment can be registered until the title
has been adjudicated by an action at law
The person desiring to register his land
makes a formal petition to the court, and
files 1t with an abstract of title in the
clerks office. The clerk then refers the
application of the abstract to an eX-
aminer of titles, who, after thoroughly
examining the title and the property and
all it's surroundings, gives his opinion of
report is adverse to the title, the ap-
pl1cant may withdraw his application or
he may elect to continue. By order OF
the court summons is then issued TO
all persons interested in the property,
whose names are known, and to
all the world. Twenty days IS
given to answer. The summons is served
in the usual way, personally, and by pub
lication for three weeks on those residing
outside of the State, as we'll as on all
unknown persons. If no defense is
made, the court hears the case and en-
tiers its decree, by which it is determin-
ed who the owner of the property is and
to to what liens or membranes it is
subject, and directs registration. A
certified copy of the decree is then filed
in the register of deeds office, who will
be known as the registrar of titles. The
registrar OF tlCleS enters the decree in the
proper book, and makes out in his Office
| in books kept for that purpose, an orig
! 1na1 certificate of title in which it is
stated that John Doe is the owner of
certain piece of property, and that it is
subject to certain membranes and
liens duplicate of this, known as
the owners duplicate, is made and de-
livered to the owner. The title is then
registered. Any person aggrieved by
the decree, may appeal to the supreme
court as in ordinary civil actions, but if
no appeal is taken, all right to contest,
impeach or attack the owners registered

but to look to his certificate, and know
that he is the absolute owner.
II the holder of certificate of title
wishes to sell the property registered,
all he has to do is to make a deed, just
as deeds are now made, and deliver it
with his certificate of title to the pur-
deed to the registrar of titles, where the
certificate of title is surrendered and

ent system would require many days
II the owner OF a certificate of title
wishes to mortgage his property, all he
has to do is to make a note and mort
gage, as is now made, and take the mort
gage and the owners certificate to the
registrar of titles, who will place upon
the original certificate in his Office and
upon the owners duplicate certificate a
memorial describing the mortgage, and
Will also issue to the mortgage a mort
gageeS certificate, and thereafter if the
mortgage assigns his mortgage, he
makes an assignment in the usual form
and delivers it with his note and mort
gagees duplicate, to the purchaser who
takes it to the registrar of titles and the
proper memorials are again made.
The new law provides that tenants in
common may have separate certificates
for their undivided interests, and that
one certificate covering a large piece of
land, may be subdivided into numerous
certificates, if the land is plated, and
that an owner holding several certif-
icates may, if he Desires have them
consolidated into one Registered land

istrared land. In case of foreclosure CT
mortgage when the equity of redemp-
ton runs out, an owners certificate is is-
sued by order of the court direct to the
owner, and in this way the legality of
the foreclosure becomes determined at
once, and the title of the property in the
purchaser becomes absolute. Liens, at
tachments, judgments and leases, effect
registrared land the same as unregistrar-
ed land, with this exception; that judg-
ments must be recorded in the registrar
of titles office.
