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.

"Boy a-," eald Dr. Major, "should be
taught other things In the church beside
singing hymns and committing the Serip

SPLIT IN SUPREME COURT
COXFI RMS GTtAXTTXG A NEW
TRIAL IN DAMAGE SUIT.
Case In Heirs of William Wrlcbt
Against Northern Pacific Chester
TliompHon to Have Sanity Trial.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. April 2. (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. Fullerton concurs
briefly In the Rudkln opinion. In effect
this leaves the case In this shape: The
heirs cannot recover because of Wright's
own negligence unless they can convince
the Jury the engineer really started up
the train after It had been stopped, or
the railroad was otherwise grossly neg
ligent. Chester Thompson will be given a hear
ing before a Jury In the Superior Court
of Pierce County to determine his pres
ent mental condition, the Supreme Court
having Issued a writ of mandate 'against
Judge W. H. Snell to proceed with call
ing a Jury and giving the hearing as
prayed for by Thompson. The court
held that under the Graves criminal in
sane law Thompson was entitled to a
Jury trial as to his sanity. Chester
Thompson, who was confined In the in
sane ward at Walla Walla February 19,
1908, applied to the " physician of the
prison for an examination as to his san
ity. The examination was made In ac
cordance with the provisions of the law
and the physician certified that Chester
had become sane since Imprisonment.

Speakers Enthuse on Statement No.
1 and Kindred Topics Renew
Party Ivoyalty.
SAI.EM, Or., April 2. (Special.)
Two hundred Democrats jratliered at
Hitel Willamette this evening and
Joined in a banquet In memory of
Thomas Jefferson. The event was one
of the most enthusiastic Democratic
assemblies held In Balcm in many a
year. Governor Chamberlain, ex-Senator
Gearin. F. V. Holman, State Sen
ator M. A. Miller, W. M. Kaiser and W.
S. McFadden were the principal
speakers.
Responding to the toast, "Govern
ment for the People." Governor Cham
berlain denounced the "corrupt conven
tion system" of the past, extolled the
virtues of the direct primary, lauded
Statement No. 1 and declared his be
lief that whether he or some other
may be the victor In June, the people
will demand the election of the popular
choice as United States Senator. In
language of strong commendation ho
mentioned the names of Roosevelt and
Bryan together, thus 'arousing tre
mendous and long-continued applause.
Senator , Miller opened his remarks
on "Democratic Harmony" by securing
the adoption of a resolution making J.
J. Whitney, of Albany, the Democratic
candidate for Oongrens In the First
District. The chief feature of Miller's
address was a sensational criticism of
the secret lobby maintained at the last
legislature by the Title, Guarantee &
Trust Company for the purpose of se
curiSg legislation permitting manipu
lation of state school funds. Amid ap
plause and cheers Miller announced
that at the opening of the next legis
lative session he will Introduce a bill
for guaranteed banks on the Oklahoma
plan.
That the states must guard against tho
encroachments of the Federal Govern
ment was the theme of Senator Cearln"s
Address. "The Democracy of Jefferson."
F. V. Holman, discussing "Keeping the
Faith." urged that those who want
Chamberlain for Senator should not only
work for the election of Statement No. 1
men to the Legislature., but should make
the Legislature Democratic If possible.
W. M. Kaiser delivered an Intensely
humorous address, closing with a tribute
to the "Judiciary" and a protest against
what he considered unjust criticism of
the courts. W. S. McFadden's address
was a review of Oregon Democracy.
Bx-Govemor Dord, a Republican, be
ing present, was called for, and re
sponded In a happy vein, saying, among
other things, that If "party loyalty Is a
test of success. Chamberlain will win his
fight hands down." John Minto respond
ed to a call by relating many pioneer
experlenres. August Hurkensteln served
very acceptably as toastmaster. The
banquet committee, composed of ToniiR.
Wilson. C. V. Galloway. IX J. Fry, W.
H. Holmes and J. C. Pettyjohn, received
many compliments on the success of the
banquet.
