Adopted Without Amendment.

A general discussion of this resolution en-
sued, in which the following members took
part: Messrs. Hahn, Lambert, Keen, Gag
gett, Andrews, Fleming and Brown. The
resolutions were then adopted with an
amendment offered by DR., Reyburn SUBJ
iecting the action of the association to
such changes as may be suggested by the
committee on law and legislation.
Dr. Reyburn next called attention to the
bill introduced in Congress proposing seven
Commissioners instead of three for the Dis
trict, and asked that this question be re-
ferred to the law and legislation committee
of the association for report. This re-
quest was granted unanimously.
John Fleming asked the indulgence or
the meeting to explain the working of the
Torens land system, and ended his remarks
by proposing that the association investi-
gate the matter, and, if it deems it advis-
able to prepare a bill to be presented to
Congress to make this system a law In the
District. The resolution was referred by
a unanimous vote to the committee on law
and legislation.
The so-called Torens land system named
for its Australian inventor, is explained as

investigated by Land Court.

Under the Torens system a title is in
vestigated once for all by a special land
court, or by any equity court. The owner
then receives numbered certificate of
title. similar to stock certificate, corre-
spending to the stub kept by the regis
trar and showing on its face exactly
what the owners title Is. This title cam
not be questioned but is final. Suisse
quent membranes, such as mortgages,
judgments and the like, are noted on the
certificate so that any, one may tell the
exact condition Of the title. without en-
ploying a lawyer, simply by looking at
the certificate and comparing it, for
safety sake. with the stub kept by the
registrar.
Mr. Claggett, on behalf of August Her
man, presented resolution, which was
referred TO the board of directors, propos-
ing an investigation of the existing pure
food law, with view to proposing
amendments thereto.

SaIton Sea and Rainfall.

We are in receipt of letter from Capt. w. H. Hardy, who is residing in Whittier, California, in reference to the effect Saltol Sea is having on the rainfall of Southern California and Arizona. The Captain shows the average rainfall of many places in Ari- zona and California the past ten years to have been far below that of last year and argues that all the rains have come from the Salton Sea instead of from the north Pacific coast, as for merly. The greatest rainfall prior to 1905 in Los Angeles was in 1903. when it reached HIT inches. Last year it was 1919. The rainfall at Yuma last year was ll.4l inches, and the pre- vious high record was HIS inches in 1897. San Diego had 16.36 inches, with a previous record of ll.49 inches in 1902. Julian had 3S inches last year and 32 inches in 1896. King mans record for last year was l6.5O, with only inches in 1902 and as low as , inches in 1889. All the counti s of south California showed immense 2; ils in rain last year, and from this Capt. Hardy deduces that Salton Sea has been doing the business. He fai.s to take into consideration the fact that there was practically no Salton Sea last winter and that all the rains had fallen prior to the formation of the sea, and in fact it was the im- mense rains through Arizona and away up on the Colorado drainage area that caused the sea to expand. Mrs. H. McKusick, who resides at Im- perial states that Salton sea is now q body of water seventy-five miles long by fifteen wide and an average depth of fifteen feet. At the present time the entire Colorado river is emptying into the basin and raising it about one half inch daily. As the water raises it spreads over a greater area and therefore the average rise is becoming less and less. Imperial is 250 feet above the lake and therefore little in- jury will come to that place from this source.
 In summing up his letter the writer assumes that from thirty to fifty in- ches of rain will fall in south Califor- mia before May first. From present indications the rainfall will be much less than last year.
