THETORREN'ST TITLE LAW

states, aud is before the legislature
of still others. 1t has been on our
statute books since the winter Of 1907,
and up to a month ago, when the writ
er hereof investigated the subject, but
six actions had been brought under it
in this county. We think the reason
it is not more frequently invoked Is
due to the expense involved, which is
pretty heavy. An abstract is required
in the first instance, and this abstract
is sent to the official examiner Of
titles to report thereon, who is al
lowed compensation therefor, to be
fixed by the court When one has paid
for his contract, and for the official
examiners fees, and has paid his own
lawyer for putting the case through
the courts, he has expended a consid-
cradle sum, and, generally speaking,
he feels more like furnishing a pros
pective purchaser with an abstract
only The law is an advantage to an
owner who has a complicated title, and
to one who owns a tract of land which
he desires to plat.
What we have here said has a gen.
eral application only. Should your in
quirer desire further information and
you care to refer him to us we will
endeavor to advise him accurately
when he has stated his specific case
to us. j. l.. FINCH.

Editor The Ranch:-We have your
letter of the 18th, inclosing for reply
a letter from Mr.. r. N. Reed, of Sun
nyside, and asking, in effect, whether
the legislature enacted law whereby
the owner of property may bring suit
generally and have his title quieted.
In reply we beg to state that your
inquirer has, no doubt, come in con-
tact with someone who has tried to
explain to him the operation of the So
called Torrens system of registering
titles, passed at the last session Of
the legislature. His informant prob
ably knew as much about the matter
as people generally, including the bar
at large, and that is little or nothing.
The legislature passed law pro-
viding that the owner of a piece OF
property may bring an action against
all parties claiming an interest in or
lien upon his land, and after such par
ties had been properly brought before
the court, and the issues tried, de-
cree would be rendered in the form of
a certificate of title, which certificate
might be registered with the county
auditor Every subsequent transfer of
the land would then be made at the
auditors office by a surrender of the
outstanding certificate for a new one.
The advantages of this law have
never been tested, so far as we know.
The law is in force in several other

working in a logging camp, and would
like to know if it would be profitable
to buy logging outfit, as specified
by a writer to The Ranch, and either
buy the land, and have the boys clear
and then put on the market, or take
contracts to clear for other parties.

ANSWERING r. B. 3.

Four young men, practical loggers,-
a donkey engine clearing outfit,-a
good-sized tract of logged-off fertile
land, well located, is a good combi-
nation.
A practical logger upon much OF
our logged-off areas, will find single
bolts, cedar poles, wind-falls and small
logs enough to go long way toward,
if not entirely paying out, the land
clearing operations. Practical loggers,
experienced in the rapid and econom-
ical handling of a donkey engine, OPP
GRAFTON of the hanback,, hook tending,
etc., can clear land at a surprisingly
low cost as compared with the cost
of the inexperienced farmer or con-
tractor.
Our cleared land reasonably well
located Is we'll worth hundred dollars
an acre, and by seeding it to timothy
and clover, cultivating 1t to potatoes
or garden, or planting to fruit trees,
can easily be brought up to a value OF
several hundred dollars an acre.
Your boys can make money by buy
ing logged-off land and clearing some
to sell, and they can make, in our
opinion, a good deal more money by
holding and improving the cleared
land.
The Everett Chamber of Commerce
can probably furnish you more detailed
information.
