Transit car and for that reason, as well
as because there was testimony that

OF the case that II was u corporation

1T is a notorious fact" quoting an
authority that street railroad COM
panies, whose cars are propelled by
electricity, constantly accept and in
vite passengers to ride upon the plat
ferns of their cars when there is no
room Inside, and that persons having
occasion to use such cars are frequent
" glad for even a foothold upon the
platform, step or footboard. Neither
carrier nor public have regarded the
street car platform as a known place Of
danger. and we are not disposed to say,
as matter OF law. that a passenger
who rides upon the platform of an cleo
trlc street car is thereby guilty Of such
cOntributory negligence as to prevent
his recovery for injuries sustained
through the fault OF an employee OF
the transportation company"
We are unable to say, as matter of
law, that the judge who heard the wit
nesses In this case was not justified in
finding, upon all Of the facts before
him, that the defendant was negligent.
The remaining question is whether
the trial Judge enormously refused the
defendants motion to order physical
examination OF the plaintiff. Upon this
question It is first to be observed that
the defendant expressly disclaimed at
the trial any suggestion of fraud or
Misrepresentation on the part Of the
plaintiif. 1t is next to be observed
that the request and motion for this
examination we're not made by the de-
PENDANT until after one OF the physi-
clans had testified for the plaintiff and
another physician for the defendant.

large crews of men. In the uniformly
dry summer climate of Yakima valley
the old adage, make hay while the
sun Shines" loses it's significance.
Owing to these conditions hay has
come to be the principal crop. While
it is uniformly profitable, the returns
per acre are not nearly as great as
with fruit or hops, but the non-resi-
dent prefers it because he has less
to do to get his income and many
farmers prefer it because it is less
work and gives long season of ease
and relief from ranch care. Approx
mately 100000 tons of hay are now
produced in the Yakima valley, about
three-quarters being alfalfa and one
quarter wild hay, timothy clover, etc.
Most of this hay is fed to cattle and
sheep and to horses used in the coun-
try, though many thousand tons are
shipped to the western part of the
state to feed the dairy cows. The
western Washington dairyman finds
it more profitable to buy Yakima al

Northern Idaho and Montana, the hay
supply is limited. Most of the range
stock winters on the open ranges with
comparatively little feed, but the beef
and mutton which is to supply the
Puget Sound cities and through them
the small towns and logging camps,
the shipping trade and Alaska, must
be fed somewhere from Noveme Der
1st to June 1st, as range beef is not
&c be had before June 18th to July
1st of any year. Yakima valley points
are only 10 to IL hours run from Sc
attic and Tacoma, hence the butch
ers of those cities much prefer feed
ing beef and mutton in this valley in
stead of getting their supply from
points farther away.
This market for Yakima fed stock
is increasing rapidly and it is only
one of several outlets for the hay
crop.
The yield of alfalfa is about six to
nine tons per acre at three cuttings,
depending upon condition of field,

winters in the lower attitudes with
good grass later in summer higher
up and a close proximity to the alfalfa
fields under the Sunnyside canal, with
the markets of Puget Sound only
few hours distant, makes these loca-
lions exceptionally desirable for either
raising or dealing in sheep, cattle
or horses, with the greatest profit.
Alfalfa is the king of all forage
plants. 1t comes nearer being a bal
anced ration than any other known
feed for beef cattle, milk COWS and
sheep Hence a country adapted to
it's production is naturally a dairy
and a live stock feeding country.
Of all agricultural crops hay is the
least speculative because it can be
turned into so many different channels
to be marketed and the crop is not
quickly perishable. The crop is quick
ly and easily harvested does not re-
quire expensive machinery nor many

method of farming and location The
lower valley having a season two
weeks longer than the upper valley
naturally yields a heavier tonnage.
Four crops are sometimes cut but it
is easier and usually quite as profit
able to pasture the fields after the
third cutting.
The price for hay in the stack
ranges from 81 to S. a ton. In .JJ3
it sold as high as $3.50 ton, but
$3.50 a ton is a good average price
for term of years.
The cost of irrigating, cutting and
putting in stack when let out by con-
tract is about $1.25 to $1.50 ton.
The pasture should pay all water
maintenance charges and taxes, there
fore an average price of $3.50 ton
leaves $500 net profit to land owners,
and with an average yield of seven
tons per acre would give to non
resident, farming by contract, a net

Is it then any wonder that such
lands when we'll improved sell for
$1OO to $3.50 an acre?
The raw land costs $50 to 500 an
acre, depending upon location and
other conditions. Clearing off sage
brush and blowing costs usually $S
to 81 an acre, leveling or grading de-
ponds entirely upon each particular
tract. The average cost, including
all expenses, for taking piece OF raw
sage brush land and converting it
into an alfalfa meadow may be placed
at $500 per acre, exclusive OF build
ings, and it requires one year to do
the work.. The raw land with per.
petual wafer right carrying an annual
maintenance charge of SOC to $3.50 an
acre varies in price from $50 to 800
an acre, depending upon conditions as
to soil, location. topography, etc. The
improved land seldom sells for less
than 500 an acre and frequently as
high as $3.50. When rented for cash

ments and location.
The company has sold practically all
its lands, now holding less than 100
acres, which are cut into small tracts
and will be sold only to actual settlers,
at $125 to $3.50 an acre. Within one
half mile of the depot are few plat
ted acres which the company is selling
at $3.50 to $500 an acre, including wa
ter rights for irrigation.
On the north side of the river, and
a few miles below the town, is the
lower end of the Sunnyside canal of
the Washington Irrigation Company.
This is by far the largest irrigation
enterprise in this state and ranks as
one of the greatest and most success
full systems on the continent.
The main canal is now 60 miles
long with about 400 miles of lateral
or main distributing bitches covering
in all about $4,000 acres of irrigable
lands, about half of which is now in
cultivation.
The last Is miles of this canal has
only been built during the past year
and it brings into market about TO-,
900 acres of fertile and valuable land
Immediately tributary to Prosser,
which is being rapidly settled and put
under cultivation.
When the construction of the Sun
nyside canal was begun in 1889 Pros
ser was at once looked upon as pros
pective city of Importance as soon as
the great canal should have been COM
pleted. 1t was expected that the canal
would be finished as far as Prosser
within two or three years, but irri-
cation was not then as well under
stood as now. Lands did not sell
rapidly and years rolled on with the
ditch company struggling to overcome
the prejudices against irrigation and
seeking to locate settlers upon it's
lands Meantime Prosser waited and
made but little growth.
Twenty thousand acres of such land
as has recently been brought under
this irrigation system will support a
rural population of a family to every
20 acres at least, or one person to
every five acres and within few
years this rate will be doubled. Four
thousand people living within five min
utes to one hours drive of Prosser
will mean an increase of at least 1000
people in this city.
These lands are now selling at $40
to 500 per acre on easy terms at 6
per cent interest, and at the present
sirable lands left unsold after next
spring.
Immediately back of the abrupt hills
to the south Of Prosser lies an extern
sive table land 800 to 1000 feet above
sea level, embracing about 100000
acres of wheat land, which has been
tried and tested, having been farmed
in places for over 20 years.
During the panicky times of '93 and
the following years when wheat was
low in price and no one had money
to improve new farms these lands
failed to get into cultivation and the
luxurious bunch grass was used for
pasture by thousands of range horses,
hence the name "Horse Heaven" came
to be applied.
These lands during the past two
years have rapidly come under cultiva-
ton and settlement, and as Prosser
is the only milling and banking point
and the principal business center to
which the country is tributary 1T needs
no argument to point out the benefits
