Case Decided Against the Perris
Irrigation District

n. J. Burke to Answer a Charge of Perjury.
Company M to Be Re-
cruited Notes

RIVERSIDE, Jan. 7.-Judge Noyes this
morning handed down his opinion in the
case of D. G. Mitchell VS.. The Ferris Irri-
CATION District. This was an action for a
writ of mandate against the present treas
urer 10 compel him to pay from certain
funds in his possession $ll53 due Mr..
Mitchell as salary for former services as
treasurer of the district, which salary had
been fixed by the board of directors
The decision is an exhaustive one and
goes fully into the law points, and which
are of interest to all those connected with
irrigation districts. II calls attention tn
that portion of section 81 Of the Wright
act material to the issue, as follows: "For
the purpose of defrayng he expenses of
the organization of The district and of the
care, operation, management, repair and
improvement of such portions of said canal
and works an are completed and in use. in
cludiug salaries of officers and employees ),
the boad may fix rates of toll and charges
and collect the same," etc. The court says
"I thus clearly appears that he'salares of
officers may be made payable out of the
fund derived from the collection of tolls,
and when the tolls have been collected as
required by law by the district it must be
presumed that they were collected for all
the purposes mentioned IN this section, and
tha they are to be de led to said purposes.
The powe: of the officers is regulated by
the statute, and they are not permitted
even by implication to transcend the au-
thori.y SO plainly laid down in collecting
the tolls for the purposes other than those
mentioned in the statute. Therefore, when
the law directs that the board may collect
tolls for the purposes indicated, it intended
those purposes only"
The defendant claimed that the tolls
were collected for the purpose of pay.

HeVada's First White Child.

The question of who was the first
white child born in what is now the
State OF Nevada has excited considerable
intrest. The latest contribution on the
snkject is the following communication
from Mrs. l.. M. Detten-ieder of Vir-
GINA City to the Enterprise. Mrs.
Dettenrieder was one OF the earliest set
tiers in what was then called Western
Utah. She is 50 years old and the
mother of James Bromwell Ellis, spoken
of in her communications:
To the Editor of the Enterprise
Gentleman: A son was born to James
B. Ellis on the first day Of May, A. d.
1854, on a ranch on the Carson river, ~
miles below the mouth of the Gulch
Gold Canyon, whom the Piutes
claimed as the first white child bred
and born on Piute territory. The
parents located on that ranch early in
the Spring of 1858. The place would be
midway between Dayton and Sutro at
the present time. We called it West
ern Utah, so If there is any glory in being
born at a certain time on a certain land,
it would lie between the two born in
1854, James Bramwell Ellis and G. G.
Woodford.
Respectfully.
Mrs. L. M. DErrENRIEDER.
