It is a country of plains aml mountains and rivers. The Andean Moun- tain range is 4.400 miles long. Twelw peaks tower three miles or more above ocean level and some reach into the sky for more than four miles. Many are burning mountains. The rivers are among the longest in the norm. The Amazon drains an area of 3,686 square miles Its plains are almost boundless and its forests limitless. There are deserts “here no rain ever fails and there are stretches of coast line where no «tax e\ er passes without rain. It is a country of all climates. The northern part is equatorial, and is the hottest. The southern part stretches its length toward the pole. The book, published in 1917, says titty millions of [maple now dwell beneath the southern cross and speak the Portuguese and Spanish languages and it is estimated that. with the present increase. 180 mil- lions will sneak these languages by 1920. South Am- erica is pro-eminently the coming rontlnent. It is more thinly settled than any other part of the world. At least six million miles of its territory are suitable for immigrants-«loubie the available territory of the United States.

Tins DURHAM cnnomcus It is Hot the duty of a Registrar to give information nor to o-Xpress an Opinion as to the validity Ur effect 0! registered instruments. He must not even exprms an Opinion on the validity of a title. This is contrary to publir opinion generally. Many have the idea that to search a title to property the Registrar should act as adviser to say whether it is good or otherwise. This is evidently not so, according to a report given by James W. Mallon. B.A.. L.L.B., K.C., Inspector of Legal and Registry Offices. We quote from the Inspector’s report as follows: "Some llrms and corporations. I understa‘nd, ' are in the habit of sending out forms to be filled in by the Registrar, whom they expect to answer cer- tain printed questions, including ‘ownership,” and encumbrances, etc. Any answer given by the Re- gistrar as to ownership or encumbrances necessar- ily involves the giving of an opinion about title, which the Registrar is expressly forbidden by the statute to do.-â€"8ec. l9, subsection 1” . The Registrar is expetced to make searches and give ”me ' and abstracts it requested. Making searches means in: the instruments and mtries relating h ‘7â€"..

To say that a man is the ’last registered owner is an expression of Opinion as to title. To say that there are only certain encumbrances is also an expression of opinion as to title. To say that a mortgage is discharged is an express i on of Opinion as to title. All that a Registrar can do in the last case is to say that an instrument purporting to be a discharge has been registered, but it is for the searcher to make up his own mind whether the in- strument has been discharged. V5. “---vâ€"â€"' 50 also as to the statement that a man is dead. All that a Registrar should do in such a case as this is to state that the Letters of Administration or Letters Probate are filed and to give exnacts if required. In short, a Registrar's duty with reference to search- es, etc.. is to produce the documents and entries relat- ins,r thereto, to give copies or extracts if required, but not to express any opinion whatever with reference to the validity or the ett‘ect of registered instruments as to the validity or the title. From the above it will be seen that the Registrar has Very little latitude and his duties are so defined that he can neither giwe information nor opinion in relation to registered instruments. It is well for the pnblie to know that he is forced to lie. dumb to all in- quiries relating to titles of properly.
