Tips On
Titles
A MAN

A MAN
came rushing into our office and
wanted an Abstract in hurry. He
seemed to think We kept them on
hand and could pass the one he
wanted right over to him. 1t was the
first time he had ever required an
Abstract. He had an opportunity to
make an investment which gave
promise of rich returns. 1t was an
unusual chance. He had no ready
money so had gone TO his bank to get
1t by placing a mortgage upon his
land. The bank. according to its Gus
tom, demanded an Abstract and re-
ferred him to us. Now the man had
lived on this land. He had paid good
money for it. He held Warranty
Deed. He thought it was his. 1t
was, but there was a "Cloud upon the
Title" which had to be cleared be-
fore he could obtain any money upon
his land. There were defects in the
instruments as recorded which could
be remedied only by decree of the
Court. This required time. Mean
while the opportunity for the promls-
ing investment had passed.
This is not fiction. 1t is not even
exceptional. 1t is the sort of thing
that is occurring repeatedly.
You own land in Hood River
County. You intend, some day, to
have it covered by an Abstract.
Why Not Now? There is nothing
to be gained by delay and may be
much to lose. 1t matters not what
you think about your land, your
title is only as good as the records
show. The business of the Alb
stracter is to give you the record of
your title.
Some people seem afraid to enquire
into the title to their land They
prefer to play Ostrich" and try to
think there can br nothing the trouble
with it. When the day comes, as it
surely will, that they must have an
Abstract they are disappointed that
they have to wait for the Abstracter
to do his work. But they can't blame
the abstracIer. 1t takes time to pre-
pare correct and complete A distract.
Besides there are always other hurry
orders ahead which must be finished
before new work is begun. 1t is even
more annoying to learn that the title
you thought good is imperfect. The
trouble may be slight and OF nature
which could be readily removed, but
still sufficient to cause an exasperat-
ing delay at time when one wishes
to make a quick sale or raise money
upon a mortgage.
Be wise enough to have your Alb
stract made NOW, while there is no
urgent need for prompt action.
Come in and talk to us about it, we
may be able to make few sugges.
tions of benefit to you.
We have been searching Hood
River Titles since 1888, and if there
is flaw in the Title we can find it.

Bryan
and the Peace
Movement

Secretary Bryan is as great an
advocate Of peace as Carnegie.
His theory seems to be that
peace is ever preferable to war.
He has been working for univers-
al disarmament. and advising
treaties between all nations for
the settlement of all differences
by peace tribunals.
He has just concluded a treaty
with Salvador. one of the Central
American States. The treaty
provides for "A settlement Of all
disputes between Salvador and
the United States by an import
ent board of arbitration.
We trustthat this will encourge
tine larger Nations to join with
Uncle Sam in bringing about a
new era of peace.

Currency Bill

President Wilson has secured
what amounts to pledge from
the leaders OF the House and
Senate that the currency bill will
be passed at this session of Con-
gress. Senator ]. Hamilton
Lewis proposed a recess for sev-
eral weeks before the currency
legislation should be considered.
Senator O'Gorman OF New York
and Senator Hitchcock OF Neb-
raska favored this course. but
among the Senator'S considering
the subject practically all were
in favor OF legislation before ad
journment. The currency meas
sure has been before the House
caucus. and has been defended by
some OF the best party leaders.
but is assailcd by Henry, Hard
wick, Ragsdale, and many other
leading Democrats. The indicat-
ions are that there will be q row
over the passage of the bill.
nevertheless, with the Administ-
ration back of it. the House will
pass it a-fying. Chairman SIM

that Congress "will stay in sess-

What's
the Matter?

With the approach of the
school season again, we are re-
minded that the shool problem
is again with us.
Our new school building IS
ready, but we are told that the
teaching facilities are nadequ-
ate to the equipment supplied.
What is the matter with the
school management? Have we
been misled in bonding the dis
trict and erecting that fine build
ing we are so proud Of? We do
not think so. We have spent
this money in a good cause. We
do mot regret it. Oakley for
years needed this fine building
Even more than a fine building
do we need good teaching and
teachers.
We have been told that the
district is so heavely involved in
debt that we cannot employ
enough teachers to properly
grade the school. also that
school will be taught but halt a
day for the grades.
We call this very bad manage.
ment. Whose fault is it? Are
Oakley children to be deprived o1
the education required by law
and paid for by their parents?
We believe there should be al,
Investigation. Oakley is not
getting the School service it is
entitled to. it is not getting what
it has paid for.
We think the Annual meeting
about to be called should
thoroughly discuss this matter
and find out what is the matter
Things are in bad shaps
when Oakley cannot have g
graded public school.

Again the Herald advocates
on efficient street lighting sys
tenn for Oakley.
We are allowing towns all
around us to surpass MS in this.
Our civic pride il nothing else de-
nands that we have a good
street lighting system Now
after we pass away from he inn
mediate vicinity of the drug
stores, at night, we are in pitchy
darkness SO AS hardly to be able
to see where to go. This con-
dition is intolerable in place as
large as Oakley. We know that
there is general dissatisfaction
over the dilatory action of the
village board in not attending to
this very important matter.
The people of Oakley are in
sisting that the Village Board at
once make some provision for
good street lights in the business

Impeachment
ofCovernor
Sulzer

To the unbiased mind, it looks
as if Tammssny would scruple at
nothing to ruin it's former trie nd,
Governor Sulzer who repudiated-
the tiger and all it stands for III
a public letter some time ago.
All looked for a struggle 20 the
death between Sulzer and Boss
Murphy; and the first gain in the
contest seems to be with Tam.
many, for the governor has been
impeached for wiliul misconduct
and high crimes and misde-
meanors.
We do not know at present the
exact value to be placed upon
the allegations OF misconduct on
the part of the Governor. The
Claim has been made that MIR.
Sulzer used his patronage to sec
ufe the passage OF certain bills
which he favored; another charge
made against him is that he used
campaign contributions in Wall
Street speculations tor his own
private gain.
We believe in giving Governor
Sulzer the benefit of the doubt.
We believe that the man may
have a change of heart. We
know that up till short time
ago, Mr Sulzer was a willing
tool of the Tammany machine,
but his public reputation OF
machine control we belieye to
have been genuine. and we be-
lleve i'll giving him a fair trial
and a square deal.

Senator Borah
On the Tariff

cusscd the agricultural interests
OF the country and the necessity
Ut building up our agricultural
enterprises He discussed the
subject not only from the stand
point OF the tariff and as to its
effects upon the business enter
prlscs OF the country but also AS
to its governmental effect and as
to the building up of our citizen
ship. He SAID in part:
"Mr. President. almost every
civilized nation has experimental
at some time or other with the
building up OF its purely COM
merclal interests at the expense
or through the neglect ofits agri-
cultural interests. Every nation
which has done SO has suffered
its social and economic condit.
ions have become involved and
weakened, its standard OF citizen
ship has deteriorated, and dis
tress has been the ultimate re-
suit. The agricultural interests
are generally to a great disadv-
antage i'll such a contest. They
have not. the means nor the time
generally for a close and effect
i've organization, they have not
the access to the inStrumentali-
ties through which public opin-
ion may be informed, and they
ave generally, So far as numbers
are concerned, inadequately re-
presented at the counsel table
where measures are framed or in
the halls of legislation where
they are enacted into laws. One
has been indifferent indeed to
passing events for the last 90
I
years who has not observed the
dominancy of the purely com.
mercial interests in legisla ton
and administration and the sett-
ing i'll OF the movement in this
country which at certain periods
has been started i'll other
countries.
This bill before us is the most
pronounced step in that direct
ion yet taken. 1t is unwise, to
my way of thinking, in many Of
It's features AS to all interests,
but as to the agricultural in
terests it is not only unwise but
harsh and condemnatorv. That
interest which is free of combines
and monopoly, that interest in
which competition still prevails
IN its fullest scope, that interest
which is just now coming to it's
own i'll the realization OF fair
compensation and fair prices is
to be male more and more the
hewers of wood and drawers of
water for all other interests.
II want therefore to survey
briefly some historic facts, for
we are only repeating history.
We are only dong, without half
the reason or justihcatron, what
other people equally presump-
tuous and equally shortsighted,
equally subservient to false
theories, and equally blind to the
true principles of national
strength have dore. l do not
want to torment inconstant
hearts by recalling the advice OF
discarded deities, but ] remember
as | speak of it that Jefferson
said. The agricultural capac-
itieS OF our country constitute
its distinguishing feature, and
the adapting our policy and pur-
suits to that is more likely to
make us numerous and happy
people than the minicry Of an
Amsterdam, Hamburg, or a
city of London
