However, a system of Mutual Water Com panies incorporated in California. the stock of which companies should be owned by the of the land to be irrigated basis of share to each acre of land, and these panes to obtain their supply of water from the Imperial Canal under contract providing for a perpetual delivery of water at a fixed price, which price enabled the irrgators to get the cheapest water in Arid America considering the fact that an abundance of water could be had any day in the year. These Mutual Water Com panies were incorporated to furnish water to their stockholders only so that land owner who owned no stock could not get any water at any price
 These Mutual Water Companies were also put on an equal footing as regards cost of stock and cost of water and there could be no prior right to the same as there was more than enough water for all
 Imperial Water Company No. 1 was incor- porated with 100000 shares of stock to irrigate 1000 900 acres of land The land to be irrigated by this Company is located between New River on the west and Carter River the east and ex- tends from the International Boundary Line to a point a few miles north of the town of Inn perial.

 Imperial Water Company No. was incor porated to irrgate 12,500 of land between the two rivers north of Mo- l.
 Imperial Water Company No. was incorporated to irrgate 1OO 900 acres of land known as East side located east of Carter River.
 Imperial Water Company No. was incorpo- rated to rrigate 25 900 acres of land the west side of New River next to the Boundary Line.
 Each of these companies has a contract with the companies owning the Imperial Canal whereby it is to receive perpetually from such main Impe rial Canal water for many acres of land each season as it has outstanding shares of stock at the uniform price of fifty cents per acre foot which is equal to about two cents per inch for twentyfours flow The owner of the land is entitled to receive four acre feet for each acre of land for which he owns water stock if he needs that much water, but is required to take foot of water for each acre each year.
 Each mutual water company owns it's dis tributing system of canals and manages that sys- tenn and distributes the water under it's control among it's stockholders.

that j. P. Morgan was trying to beat
Governor Odell because of the Gov
srnor's activity in bringing about the
settlement of the coal strike by srbi-

Mr.. Woodruff admitted that he
bad no positive information upon the
subject and that his inference was
drawn from the attitude toward the
ticket of q newspaper in which, he
said, Mr. Morgan had large interest.
The report was spreed from Republi-
can headquarters in Brooklyn early
In the day. Democratic leaders
heard it and we're incredulous. An

lion was me de that it was commonly
