WARDS ATTITUDE WITH REFER
 ENCE TO AR
GLEASON-SHIRLEY WARD.

Mir. Gleason, in his PRESS article of December 24, calls several people liars. To call any man liar IS a cheap and vulgar method of expressing disapproval but proves nothing.
 Shirley Ward has been the attorney for Imperial Water Go. No. for three years. I have known him intimately all that time. His services have been of great value to us and in every case he has been absolutely loyal to the actual stockholders and farmers of No. 5.
 MT. Gleason's animosity to him can be accounted for only on one basic prin- ciple, viz: That Mir. Gleason is the sub- servient tool of the California Develop ment Company.
 Mir. Wards attitude in reference to differences between the people and the California Development Company has always been patriotic, for the good of the settlers. He has never tried to car ry water on both shoulders.
 In refererence to arbitration:
 First. He insisted that the arbitra- tion should be governed by the same criterians of valuation in fixing a price on the California Development Com pany's property as the law presents in condemnation proceedings, and not merely the strategic Cor holders') value.
 Second. He insisted that the arbi- trators should be non-partisan, that is such as ''could qualify as jurors" to use the expression of Mir. Meserve, Mir. Heber's attorney, who thus defined Mir. Heber's arbitration proposition at the Heber mass meeting. Had each party selected partisan arbitrator, the de-

DIRECTORS OF WATER co.
 N..

The time for election of the i1ectors of Water Company No 1 is drawing near and 1t should be the desire and aim of every stockholder to see that the proper directors are chosen. We who have made this Valley our per manent home, we who have cast our lots here when there was naught but a broad stretch of barren, uninviting desert, burn ing under the heat of a southern sun, we who have staked our all on the future, We who have levelled our land and made OUT borders, planted our crops and reaped our harvests should con- trol our Water Company so that our interest will be protected. And we can control. But we must unite. Unite our votes so that we may elect at least a ma jority of the directors, thereby protecting our (the feople's) in- terests. And we should be care full to elect men who reside in Imperial Valley, men who can attend the regular meetings, men who have backbone enough to demand the rights of the Peo- pie
 Especially do we need Presi- dent who is with us always, true resident of the Valley, whose interests are our interests, a man free, entirely free from corporate influences.
 This is to you, people of In- perial Water Company No. 1, and nothing should hinder the per sonal aid of each and every stock holder in helping to insure the Peoples safety by electing the proper directors. Now is the time to act. Don't delay.

There are few people in Inn perial Valley who have damage suits against the California De- velopment Company. There are also some who have none.

| o--O ment, and as this was the only purpose, it's labors and all the expense incident thereto would practically have been useless.
 tration of the peoples damages on ac- count of water shortage should not be postponed until after the price of the California Development Company's pl operty had been arbtrated and fixed and the government had paid the price so fixed, but held that the arbitrators should know before fixing price on the canal system, it's past inability to keep it's contract and to meet the water demands that were made upon it, and the resulting damages ensuing there from.
 But as submitting the value of Mir. Heber's canal system to an impartial arbitration, i. e., an able and non-par- tisan board, fully advised as to the past inability of the system to meet it's water obligation, governed by the same criter- ians of valuation as the law fixes in con- dem nation proceedings, would have squeezed all the imitation out of Mir. Heber's proposition. He naturally flew into rage at the presumption of those who would think of making the arbi- tration real judicial determination of values and called all arbitration off and issued his now famous counter ultima tum. MT. Gleason has always seemed to chuckle because Mir. Heber, by this defiant attitude was able to bring a majority of the directors of the Water Users Association to signing up on his $3,0o0,00O proposition. Wherein. was the action of Mir. Ward in the arbitra- tion matter in conflict with the best in- terests of the Imperial Valley?
 As to the Thayer and Rankin employ ment, Mir. Ward has always contended that the Andrade contract gave the Otis syndicate water for their lands with out the necessity of paying any bonus for so-called water right. Any fair minded man who reads the contract will do likewise. And if it is claimed that it is intended to give Thayer and Rankin 50, 900 acres of water rights for the Otis lands then they get nothing, as the Water Users Association would acquire from the California Development Com pany water rights for these lands. The only other lands for winch the Water Users Association would acquire from the California De> elopment Company water rights in Mexico would be for the 50, 900 acres which the association was to acquire from the California Develop ment Company's Mexican company, and these water rights the Water Users Association would have to buy back again from Thayer and Rankin or sur render the use of the 5O,OOO acres of land.
 Mir. Gleason has steadily opposed MT. Wards ideas on arbitration.
 He opposed the sending of Dr. Lom- bard to Washington instead of Mir. Elm erson, but espoused Lombard's cause as soon as he knew that Lombard had ac- uuiaSced in the million dollar attorney

FIGHT IN NO. 5
The following letter speaks for

uS 1OIlOWluSS ICllCI SpGdkS LOT itself:
 Los ANGELES, CAL. December IT, 1904.
 DEAR SIR The annual meeting of Imperial Water Co. No. 5 will be held at Holtville, January IA, 1905, at 10 a. m., for the purpose of electing board of directors for the ensuing year, and such other business as may come before the meeting. On account of the arbi- trary monner in which the high assess ments for maintenance has been collect ed and the proceeds applied almost en- tlrely to the maintenance and repairs of the canals in the south end of the dis trict 1t is very important that all of the stockholders of the "north end" stand together and have proper representation on the new board.
 With this in view please sign the en- closed proxy to vote your stock and mail either to us at Suite 3l5, H. w. Hellman Bldg, Los Angeles, or to Thos. O'Brien at Brawlev, so that your stock can be voted for the interests of the "north end" We consider it very important that this matter shall receive your inn mediate attention. Yours truly,
 IMPERIAL INVESTMENT Go.
 By H. c. OAKLEY.
 H. c. Oakley is the stool pigeon for the California Development Company. He names Thomas O'Brien as his associate in the fight against No. 5.
 In answer to the letter:
 Election of officers in Imperial Water Company No. 5 will take place January 3o, 1905.
 The California Development Company had control of North End until September, 1904, never having turned over that portion of the system to No. 5 until that time.
 Last January, at the election, H. c. Oakley had about 5000 shares of stock which were used at Heber's dictation, and through Oakley's strength, Heber named w. F. Holt and P. H. McPherrin as directors for the North End of No. 5. They were duly elected, and have served the people of the North End during the year 1904.
 Do not assist MT. Oakley in the scheme of the California Develop ment Company to get control of the board of directors ot No. 5, but send your proxy to 1. P. Silliman or F. N. Chaplin. If you have already given proxy, give another of later date. The latest date is the one that holds.
 Do not fail in this, as it is ex- tremely important that the Cali fornia Development Company does not get control of the board of directors of No. 5. This letter is written by order of a unani- nous vote of the stockholders meeting held at Holtville, Decem- Der 28, 1904.
