tract of land ont on Oak Creek
| to complete the title under the
new law known as the Torren.
system. This is the first cast
brought under this law in Ben.
ton county, and about The third
or fourth one in the state. The
purpose of the suit is to secure
| from the circuit court a decree
that the land is subject to a reg
istration certificate. This Ger
tifcate is made by the county re-
corder, who is called a Registrar,
in form as follows:
State of Oregon, County of
Benton, S. S.: Richard Roe, OF
Benton county, married to Jane
Doe, is the owner of an estate in
fee simple in the following land
subject to the estates, easements,
membranes and charges here
under noted.
Witness my hand and official
seal. Register.
This certificate is recorded in
the county Office and a duplicate
issued to the owner. For the
duplicate the registrar takes the
of the owner on a re-
ceipt for the same, which receipt
is prima facie evidence of the
genuineness of the signature. |
After land has been registered no
title adverse, or in derogation
thereto, shall be acquired by any
length of possession. The per-
sos buying registered land does
1ot have to inquire into its

Why Don't Yoa Register.

If there was anything to be
done in the way of registration
of voters it would be a. good
thing, as they seem to be very
lax in attending to this matter.
The total registration up to last
Saturday morning was 22o.
This is registration of about 7
per day. From now until the
18th of May, the time limit set
by law TOR this work, the regis
tration must be just three times
as heavy as it has been up to
date. Now, if the voters do
not attend this matter in season
they will find themselves in a
tpeck O trouble along about
the 18th of May, as there is only
one registration book and conse-
quently but one man can attend
to matters Of registration.
Wren and Fairmount are the
only precincts that have not ap-
Piled for registration blanks up
to date. It seems that every
man thinks his neighbor will
and he can do likewise
at ''any cid time,' but in this
he may find himself mistaken,
as it may be impossible to take
care of this matter if everyone
delays until the last moment.
1t IS your duty to register-why
don't you?
