KATIIKR ONIITIOS FAVOR 1'rull In WfVnmette Valley Promises to l riiusiially Well. PA I. KM. Or.. April 2.--I Sperial.) li ma tie conditions during the past Winter have been exe ptjonally favorable for all farm crops and the present fair weather Is considered ideaj for fruit. The oold Hprltur has kept the fruit trees back, thus protecting them to a largo extent f rwn danger nf Injury from frosts and late rains. Growers now expect fair weather through t he blossoming period and with sur-b conditions prevailing a full crop of fruit will 'set.' A pples In tho Willamette Valley were a short crop last season and with even fair conditions this year the trees should bear an immense crop. Cherry, pear and primp treen are apparently In perfect con dition and there seems to be no reason why a bumper crop should not 1 realized. The high prices secured in recent years for fruit has encouraged the growers to do more extensive priming and ppraylng than ever before, with the result that the quality of fruit harvested will be ex ceptionally good. The coming of fair weather has set the plows going Jn.all orchards and cultivation will this year be unusually thorough.

(Special.) The Stale Supreme Court split badly today, btit the majority decided the Spo kane Superior Court had done right in granting another trial In the damage suit of the heirs of William Wright against the Northern Pacific. Wright ran a boarding-house at Frisco, Idaho. He stepped In front of a train one dark night and was killed. The evidence dif fers as to whether or not he waa carried unhurt under the train until lfr- was stopped and then wan Instantly killed when the engineer started up again. Jus tice 'Crow writes the decision, and holds that Wright was not a passenger and so was guilty of contributory negligence, and that a new trial was properly granted because the lower court failed to give such Instructions to the jury. Chief-Justice Hadley and Justice Root dissent without giving reasons. Justice Dunbar has no opinion because he did not sit In the case. Justice Rudkln writes an opin ion In wh1chshe agrees that a new trial was properly granted, but disagrees with Justice Crow that it should have been granted on the sole ground of failure to give the Instructions.
