TREATY NECESSARY
Must Be Preceded By International Agreement
Government Ownership

Since the beginning of the agitation for government ownership of the Imperial canal system, the parties in- terested, viz: The Reclamation Service, The California Development Company, The Water Users Association, the set tiers in the Imperial Valley and the owners of land in Mexico, have all been of the opinion that both special act of congress and special treaty with Mex ico would probably be required before the Imperial canal system could be taken over by the United States, as it was assumed that the ownership of the canal system running forty miles or more through Mexico, could not be acquired by the Secretary of the Interior without a special act of congress authorizing its purchase, and it was also assumed that the Secretary of the Interior would not attempt such a purchase unless the questions as to this governments right to own, control and police such property as we'll as it's right to divide the waters of the Colorado upona determined basis between the lands in Mexico and those in the United States was fully settled by treaty between the United States and Mexico.
 All negotiations have been conducted upon the theory that the necessary leg islation and the required treaty could be easilv secured. if the price and terms upon which this government was to take over the canal system could be agreed upon between the United States, the California Development Company, and the Imperial Valley settlers, provided the Reclamation Service and the owners of Mexican lands could agree upon the amount of water to which such lands were equitably entitled.
The Imperial press., 1905-02-18

In view of the fact that it has been contemplated all along that the govern ment could not take over the property without special legislation and special treaty with Mexico, Mir. Heber should not be so tremendously surprised at hearing that the Attorney Generals office holds such to be the case. It is probably better for Mr. Heber to declare the deal off now because of legal obsta- cles, than to have the government declare the deal off later because of the prohibtive price of the California De- velOpment Company.
 If MT. Heber has reached the conclu- sion that the price the government will pay is less than his com pany will accept, good generalship would dictate just the policy he has adopted to forestal the governments action, lessen the blow, ana head off, if possible, it's depressing effect upon the value of his property by announcing that the law does not au- thorize its purchase.
 If the deal is to be turned down by the government, it is better for the Cal ifornia Development Company to give out the impression that insuperabIe legal difficulties cause such action, rather than any lack of value in the property itself, or the California Development Companys prohibitive price,
 Had Mir. Heber's article Tn the Express not gone further, and congratulated his company Upon not having to be bound any longer to sell for $3,0OO,OOO; and had he not endeavored to create the im- pression that the people themselves, upon more mature deliberation, pre- ferred private ownership to public own ership, he might have pulled the wool over the eyes of the people of the Valley, and they might not have recognized that this was shrewd move on the part of MT. Heber in anticipation of the govern ment's action, to make his own fall tie easier.

ested in having bill passed providing in getting special provisions for our benefit incorporated in such bill.
 We would suggest that our readers write to the members of the legislature with whom they may be acquainted, and urge them to pass Senate Bill No. lSl, or some equally adequate law for the passage of such law, the way would be clear, and as soon as enough land passes to private owners to make an assessable valuation sufficient to sup port it, Imperial County's organization could be launched.

\ Bill Before The Legislature For The
 Formation Of New Counties
Imperial Valleys Interest In The Measure Presented Senate Bill
 Mo- 1S Provides The Needed Legislation

Through the kindness of Hon. Percy A. Johnson, we are in receipt of Senate
 Bill No. 181, California Legislature, providing for the formation of new counties. This bill has already been considered by the State Senate and will more than likely come up for consider ation Tn the Assembly within week or ten days. We have read the bill as presented and believe it fully covers all the points needed in our case. How ever, the people of Imperial Valley are so we'll situated with respect to this question that any bill within the con stitutional provisions, that the legisla- ture may pass will be adequate for our needs. We are therefore more inter-
The Imperial press., 1905-02-18

As the question of government owner- ship of the Imperial canal system is still open for discussion, the PRESS desires to call attention to some matters connected herewith. In last weeks issue we pointed out the fact that MT. Heber and the government agreed in regard to the water rights being the property of the people.
 In his interview published in last weeks PRESS MT. Heber stated that the best and basic rights to the water is the right of the user, and that beneficial use is the basis the measure and the limit of the right. Also that the California De- velopment Company is a common car rier. and all charges made by or pay ments made to said California Develop ment Company are for the services rem dered in conveying the water from the Colorado river to it's inalienable owners, the irrigators on their desert farms.
 In his address to the people of 1mpe- rial Valley, published in the Imperial Valley News, Imperial Standard and Calexico Chronicle of last week, he states the right to use the waters of the Colorado river belongs to you, "The constitution of the United States is your protection, and the supreme head of the nation will not permit it's violation" As sstated editorially in last weeks PRESS, these statements make the character and validity of our water rights very clear. At the same time their source and ownership is made equally apparent. In the interview referred to Mir. Heber was asked what the water stock repre- sented, and he replied that it represent ed ownership in the distributing system of the water company in which it was issued, and also, the benefits of the con- tracts said water company would have with the California Development Com pany. The following extracts from the most recently published advertising literature of the Imperial Land Com pany will more clearly elucidate this point. This pamphlet says, "The enter prise was evolved, and is owned by the California Development Company, a corporation that was formed to build the system of canals to convey the waters of the Colorado river \ to the lands to be irrigated, and also to contruct the systems of distributing canals, and ditches and turn them over to the peo- pie who are to use them." 'In order to comply with the laws of Mexico, through which country the main canal of the Imperial canal system runs for distance of about fifty miles, Mexican corporation was formed This Mexican corporation owns an of the realty property of the Imperial canal

system located in Lower California, in- cluding tract of 100000 acres of land and all the stock of this corpora tion is owned by the California Develop ment Company" These statements show that the canal system from the Colorado river, to the points where the water is delivered to the various water companies, belongs to the California Development Company. The Mexican corporation being organized merely to meet the requirements of the laws of Mexico.
 The pamphlet above quoted from goes on to say, regarding the mutual water companies, "In order to place the own- ership of the distributing system of canals and ditches in the hands of the people who were to use the water, so that they could manage the distribution of water i'll their own waythe system of mutual water companies was adopted. A mutual water company is corporation organized for the purpose of furnishing water to it's stockholders at cost" Each one of these mutual water companies makes @ contract with the California Development Company, and it's Mexican corporation, under which these corporations are to deliver SUD- ply of water perpetually, to the mutual water company at 50 cents per acre foot'' "The California Development Company also provides for the construc- tion of the distributing system of canals and ditches for the mutual water com pany, taking the stock of the mutual water company in payment of such work This stock is sold to the settlers at the rate of one share of stock tor each acre of land to be irrigated" "The stock of these mutual water companies is sold at from $20 to $25 an acre, on easy terms of payment, usually 50 per share cash and the balance in annual installments of $3 share each year, with interest at 6 per cent per annum on the deferred payments"
 From the above quotations it can be clearly seen what "water stock" is. The matter can be more briefly stated as follows: First. The right to use the water in the Colorado river belongs to the people of Imperial Valley-at least enough to irrigate their lands.
 Second. The California Development Company is common carrier, and all payments made to it are for the services rendered in conveying the water from the Colorado river and delivering it to the farmers of Imperial Valley.
 Third. The California Development Company owns the canal system by which it delivers the water.
