control Of the reservation and the
issue being submitted to the Attorney
General, it was decided that the In
terror and not the War Department
had control Of the reservation.
The Yuma Fruit Company was in
corporated for the purpose of raising
and dealing in fruits and vegetables
To persons who are taking lands from
the Algodones Land Company, this
Fruit Company offers to clear, pillow,
level, fence and plant the land at
cost, charging 10 per cent or such a
matter, to save wear and tear Of tools.
The Algadones Land Company own
the grant of that name. Judge San
ford as soon as he was relieved from
his work on the Y. P. [. Co., took
up the grant and examined into its
legal status, ascertaining that the
Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty prohibited
the Government from "disposing of
or alternating" the grant, until final
action thereon by Congress-" that
Congress had not confirmed or reject
ed a grant for thirty years and that
the prospects for opening it up for
settlement was not bright, set
about procuring the stock in the old
Colorado Commercial and Land Com
pany and having bought nearly all o!
the stock, the company was reorgan-
lied and a transfer made to the new
company, the Algadones Land Com
pany. A petition was Immediately
presented to the U. S. Private Land
Court at Denver, to inquire into and
determine the validity of the grant.
In the meantime the company is
practically giving away the land to
admit bona fdc settlers holding
water rights of the Y. P. [. Go.
Judge Sanford is devoting his entire
time to the grant and if it be not con-
frmed the purchasers are intended to
be protected by an act OF Congress
for the relief of actual settlers and
improvements erected on the grant
under its title, whereby the purchaser
without risk may purchase the same
from the government. Now as to the
lands of the Colorado river valley.
The main canal runs along The
break Of the mesa, the first place
reached and irrigated being Judge E
NJ. Sanford's farm. The plan agreed
upon by the land company is to divide
each section into Ga lots of 10 acres
each with regular streets and avenues
laid out. This plan will make the
lands one succession of fruit growing
communities, no one farm being but a
short distance from the other. The
lots will be numbered in regular sue
cession straight through. On each
section line s. feet is taken out and
on every half section line the same
both north and south, for the use Of
wide streets, bitches and return
bitches. Systematic business manage
ment is apparent on every side and
shows the affairs of the Yuma P. J.
Co., the Yuma Fruit Company and
the AIgodones Land Company are
handled by experienced and careful
men.
