OLYMPIA, Aug. 1.-THE supreme
court today rendered decision in
famous PalOuse country case in which
it holds, among other things, that, in
cases of railroad RIG hL-ot. way, IF lands
along the line OF the road are occupied
BY settler and his rights are not aC-
quired by condemnation and afterwards
ripeu into Il patent from the govern
ment, he acquired the full legal title,
free from any claim on the part of tie
company"
LAWYERS state the effect of this dicis-
ion will be to compel the railroad com
panies to bring condemnation suits to
make title to their rights-Of-way in a
large number of instances, as the rail-
road companies have proceeded upon
the theory that where they occupied
right-oi-way prior to the issuance OF
patent to the land condemnation was
unnecessary.
This decision was rendered in the
case of Jacob Slaught against the
Northern Pacific and others. The
vital facts as stated in the opinion
follow:
In March. 1883, Slaught established
residence on lands in Whitman coun-
tv, at what is now Paouse City, and
resided there until 1897. In October,
1857, he offered homestead filing for
the land and the Northern Pacific set
up the claim of title under its land
grant. \ contest ensued which was
finally decided May %, ls96, in favor
of Slaught by the secretary Of the in
terror. April 20 1897, Slaught got
patent to the land from the govern
ment.
In 1887 the Spokane q Palouse rail-
road was built at great expense across
part of the land. Slaught made no pro-
test at that time other than to publish
a notice in PalOuse paper warning
persons against trespass on the land.
In August, 1897, the Northern Pacific
claiming to own the land, sold it to w.
l.. Powers, who sold the Spokane &
Palouse 200 foot right,of-way through
the property. Powers and the railroad
brought suit against Slaught to estab.

Should be the Rally Cry of KIt,as People
And This Followed up With Diversified
Farming Would Make all Much More
Prosperous and Profitable

The Wenatchee World publishes an
interesting article illustrating the pos
sbilities of intensive horticulture I'M
der irrigation. one of the recent
Wenatchee was a former resident of
oklahoma. He had homestead of
100 acres which he sold for 81, 200. ON
his arrival in Wcnatchee les, than one
year ago, he paid $1,000 for a ten-acre
fruit farm. 1t was planted to plums
and apples. part OF the fruit has
been marketed and the remainder can
be easily estimated. The orchard will
give harvest valued at $1,000 to 1000
this year.
Friends of the Oklahoma wheat far
mer laughed at his purchase Of a pock-
ct edition of land. They predicted a
complete failure. and many counted
the months when he would return to
the old homestead. Bat he proposes
to remain and practice close cultiva-
tion of the soil.
Under favorable conditions the home
stead in Oklahoma would produce
| twenty bushel, of wheat per acre. At
the average price of - cents per bushel
the returns would aggregate s., 400 for
year. The amount of money required
for investment in implements was
greater and the risk of loss of crop
more hazardous.
The age of small farming has come
to many of the most fertile agricultural
districts. Students of agriculture are
learning the art of filling the soil for
profit. Old systems of drudgery are
passing away. Men do not attempt too
much, and are more successful.
Wherever irrigation has been intro
duced the farmers appreciate the value
of intensive agriculture. They must
utilize the water and the land to the
best advantage. They make two blades
of grass grow where none grew before.
They study economy in all its details.
The results are satisfactory and the
benefits permanent.
Intensive soil culture brings about
better social and financial conditions.
The people do not work SO hard and
enjoy life more than in the days when
! they attempted to handle the broad

acres of homesteads. Neighborhoods
are more closely settled and the inhai'
ment of the entire community. The
future of farming in the west gives
assurance of brighter days because of
small farms. The people living on
small tracts have few debts and are not
under the necessity of mortgaging one
crop to harvest another. The small
farm, well managed, presents a typical
scene of American independence. 1t is
a field Of opportunities.

It is the most exhaustive treatise on
tho subject Of the state ever issued ana
reflects credit and upon Secretary OF
State, Sam II. Nichols and George NJ.
Allen, deputy commission, for the way
in which the state and its attractions
are presented. The book differs ma
terially from any of its predecessors IN
respect to the unusually large amount
of space that has been devoted to the
different counties ard towns OF the
state. The compiling of the book to IN
clude these figures was due largely
to the nature of the inquiries received
at Olympia, asking for information
concerning different parts OF the state
1t is intended to supply fairly comPre-
hensive answer to all questions tha'
will naturally occur to those VINO may
be looking toward Washington as
new home location.
A great deal of the historical data
that have appeared in the past issues
by the state for information in reply TO
inquiries has been omitted from the new
book, and every line and page Is de-
voted to telling Of the state ana the
opportunities to be found here.
Under the head of education tie
schools of the different sections OF the
state are treated literally, from the
rural opportunities to the state univers-
ity. The agricultural college ut run
man, the normal schools at tllensburS'
