The opinion

Hill, J.

(concurring in the result) — I concur in the result

of the majority opinion, because of our statute (RCW 4.36-.130) which I believe to have been correctly interpreted and applied in Ott v. Press Pub. Co. (1905), 40 Wash. 308 , 82 Pac. 403 .

Donworth, J., concurs with Hill, J.
