furnish water for the irrigation of the California, subject to the following conditons
 First. The Mexican company must not agree to grant, transfer, deliver or in any manner convey THE RIGHT TO USE any of said waters to any person or corporation in such manner as to give to anyone prior or superior right to Che use of such water, as against any subsequent purchaser of such rights, and
 Second The California Development Company "shall not be responsible for a failure to deliver the water hereby agreed to be delivered from any cause beyond it's control, but shall use due diligence in protecting the system of canals so to be constructed as afore said and in restoring and maintaining the flow of water theren."
 The contract then provides as follows: "In consideration of the obligations herein incurred by the party of the first part (the California Development Com pany) the party of the second part [Mexican company hereby gr.tnts, assigns and transfers to said California Development Company all right which it (Mexican company has in and to the stock of Imperial Water Company No. 1, and all right which it has to receive any of the moneys which would otherwise be due and payable to said Mexican Go. under said contract with Imperial Water Company No. for the sale of the stock of said Imperial Water Company No. 1. "Second party (Mexican company fur ther agrees that it will make like assign ments in the future (to the California Development Company of all rights which it may acquire under contracts similar to said contract with Imperial Water Company No. l., which it may make with other water companies, or the proceeds to be derived therefrom."
 From the reading of the above con tracts it will be seen that the Imperial Water Company No. 1 was organized March 23, 1900, with five stockholders, and that it's sixth stockholder bought his stock in May, 1900. Nevertheless the five only stockholders, constituting the first board of directors, did, on April

6, 1900, make contract with the Mexi- ican company, by which they gave $S75, 900 fOi a contract to buy water at 50 cents per acre foot, delivered at the Mexican boundary, and transferred all their capital stock to said Mexican cor poration, to sell and to have the pro- ceeds up to that amount ($875, ,00O), I'm perial Water Company No. 1 to build it's own distributing canal system out of the amount that it's capital stock sold for in excess of said $S75,00O. It must have occurred to the Mexican corpora tion, after considerably more than 50,00O shares of the capital stock of Inn perial Water Company No. fad been sold by it, that it did not have any water with which to comply with its contract with Imperial Water Company No. l, for we find that on December 28, 1900, said Mexican company made contract with the California Development Com pany, in which it transferred to the California Development Company all right, title and interest which it had ac- quired in and to the capital stock of Imperial Water Company No. l, and to all money due from the sale of stock, and also agreed to continue to make similar contracts with other water com panies formed or to be formed ill Cali fornia, by which it would acquire their capital stock, and would in all cases, transfer said stock so acquired, to the California DevelopmentC Company. Said California Development Company agree ing to build the canal necessary for said Mexican company to deliver the water 1t had agreed or would agree to deliver, and also the California Devel- opment Company agreed to furnish the water to said Mexican Company out of that, Appropriated, OWNED and di- verted" by said California Development Company in such quantity as would enable said Mexican company to fulfill It's con tracts. The California Develop ment Company, however, does not make itself responsible for failure to deliver the water necessary, but hides behind its Mexican dummy in this contract, and only agrees to use, "due diligence in Keeping mp the water supply and re- pairing the ditches in case of breaks.
 There is no other conclusion possible to be reached by anyone reading these contracts, or the literature issued by the Imperial Land Company at that time, but that the California Development Company claimed to OWN the water in the Colorado river, and sold THE RIGHT TO USE this water to the set tiers in Imperial Valley.
 Next week we shall further discuss these matters, and show that the dis posal of the public lands were controlled by means of the so-caled, water stock being represented to be water rights.
