1Opinion of the CourtHadley, J.
This is an action to quiet title to and obtain possession of certain lands which the plaintiff, Northern Pacific Railway Company, claims as a part of its right of way. From a judgment in favor of the city of Spokane and of W. M. Ridpath, as special administrator of the community estate of Anthony M. Cannon and Jennie F. Cannon, deceased, the plaintiff has appealed.
The questions involved in this appeal are similar to those involved in Northern Pac. R. Co. v. Ely, 25 Wash. 384, 65 Pac. 555, 87 Am. St. 766, 54 L. R. A. 526. The appeal has been long pending in this court, but it was not submitted…
