Judge Parish Decides That Moves
was Never Elected.
MORGAN TO HOLD THE OFFICE
Court Holds That Chas. Noyes was Pre-
vented From Holding an Office for
Which He Helped to fix the
Salary.

Judge Parish last week deci-
ded that the election of Charles
Noyes as supervisor of assess
ment last fall was illegal, and
that tie election of George F.
Morgan was the only legal cleo
ton. 1t will be remembered
that at the time Of election of
this official of the board, Charles
Noyes was a member of the
board, representing the seventh
ward Of the city of Washburn.
The salary was fixed at fifty
cents per day, and Mr.. Noyes
was elected to the office. At the
next meeting of the board they
reconsidered the action and fix
ed the salary at $500 per day,
limiting the time that could be
claimed as actually employed to
100 days. After a number of
ballots Mr.. Morgan was elected.
Noyes Immediately began suit
to have the legality of the last
election passed upon, and he en-
ployed w. M. Tomkins of Ash.
land to bring suit. Mr.. Morgan
and the county board were re.
presented by District Attorney
Morris. Judge Parish holds
that as Noyes was a member of
the board and helped to fix the
salary for the Office and then
helped to elect himself. that he
could not hold it. It is not
known whether the case will be
appealed to the Supreme Court.

Beach and Bowers Minstrels

Quite large audience greeted
the old time favorites, Beach and
Bowers Minstrels at the Hefferlin
asst night. Minstrel shows seem to
have found what Ponce de Leon
failed to fnd-the spring Of eternal
youth. Livingston people seemed
to take as much pleasure in the old
time minstrel humorists, the musical
novelties, lne controtonists, ETC., as
their grandfathers to generations
ago.
The Beach and, Bowers show has
a splendid band and some especially
clever soloists. The musical part
Of the show is well up to the stand
ard. John Higgins is an especially
funny man, Roswell J. Wright is
surely phenomenon as a male sopra-
no. Harry Merrill basso, has the
greatest range of voice ever shown
by singer in Livingston. He is a
basso, a baritone and a tenor, all in
one. The first part finale Sousa
aud his band is SIDE splitting and is
original with the company. All in
all the show was as good a one as
is now travelling in minstrelsy and
lis deserving of good patronage.

SPARTA FIRM TO MAKE MOVE.
Expect to Make This City a Large Straw
berry Center.-Will Visit CITY and
Look Over the Prospects This
Spring.

The Commercial Club has been
in communication with a mum Der
OF firms of strawberry raisers
at Sparta with a view to induc-
ing them to come here and start
IN the business Of raising fruit.
Such efforts have met with sue
cess, and it is expected that
something will be doing in this
line in the spring.
The following letter has been
received:

Badger State Fruit Farm.
Sprat, Wis March Dist, 1906.
Washburn, Commercial Club,
Washburn. Wisconsin.
Gentlemen
Replying to yours of yester-
day will say that our w. H. Han
chett will visit your section
sometime after spring opens, to
look over the conditions there
with a view of starting a straw
berry farm there, There are a
lumber of young men here in
terested in this matter and who
may locate there, for this pur-
pose if conditions are favorable,
with the intention of developing
a strawberry center.
Prof. Henry of the Wis. Elk
detrimental Station is quite in
terested in this matter also.
The strawberry season in the
o. S. commences in Florida in
February and it should end, up
in your part of the country, in
August. And as Florida in
starting the season has the
whole u. s. east of the Rocky
mountains for her market, so
the south shore country 10 clos
ing the season should enjoy a
market in which there would be
no competition.
People never tire of fresh
strawberries and they would be
in special demand during the
heat of the summer, during the
latter part of July and in Aug
ust, and the south shore of Lake
Superior is the only place we
know of that can put them on
the market at this time.
We would like to know some
Of the particulars about the soil
Immediately about your town,
the price OF improved and wild
lands etc.
Have you a U. S. soil map of
that region? Please send us one
if you have such map.
Trusting that we may hear
from you further in the matter
we remain.
Yours Truly,
GEO. HANCHETT & Son
This matter certainly looks
encouraging and we would adj.
wise all who are interested in
strawberry culture or have had
any experience in this line in
this section and know what the
soil will produce write this firm
giving their experiences and en-
couraging them to make tht
trial. 1t will do a world of good

 By this contract 1t will be seen that the California Development company agrees to furnish the water to the Soci- edad de Yrrigacion etc. from the wat CTS of the Colorado river which it had appropriated and OWNED to use their own expression. The California Development company by this contract became the owner by assignment of all the unsold stock of Imperial Water company No. as we'll as all the moneys, mortgages, notes or other ev- dences of indebtedness given by the purchasers of the stock that had been sold From the foregoing it will be seen that the grounds on which the sale of the right to use the water was based was as follows: First, the Soci- edad de Yrrigacion etc, sold the right to use the water to Imperial Water company No. receiving therefor the capital stock of said Water company, which it was to sell and retain $875 900

out of the proceeds received. After at least S50o,0O0 worth of this stock had been sold by the Socledad de Yr- rlgacion it then bought a supply of wat CT from the California Development company with which to fulfill Its con- tract. This water had been obtained by the California Development com pany by appropriation under the laws of California some lime previous.
 The scheme, therefore, as presented was as follows: The California De- velopment company appropriated the water from the Colorado river and sold 1t to the Sociedad de Yrrlgacion y Terenos de la Baja California which corporation in turn sold the RIGHT TO USE such water to Imperial Wat CT company No. for $675, 900 to be derived from the sale of the capital stock of said Water company No. 1. all of said stock being turned over to said Sociedad de YrrigaclOn etc, for that purpose. The Imperial Water company No. being corporation regularly organized under the laws of this state its stockholders were entitled to participate in the profits or benefits of its operations. This seems to have been about all there was to IL until July 24, 1901 when anew contract was made in which the Socledad de Yrrigaclon y Terrenos de Ia Baja California Is party of the first pant Imperial Water com pany Mo- l is party of the second part and the California Development com pany is party of the third part The first clause of this contract rescinds the contract of April 9th, 1900. where by Socedad de Yrrigacion etc., sold the RIGHT TO USE the water ex- cept insofar as such rescisslon might affect any act done by either party thereto under said agreement. As about 5000 shares of the stock of Imperial Water company No. had been sold under that contract 1t can be seen that despite its rescisson it is still very much alive. The contract then provides that the Mexican com

 from which we quoted in our last ar ticle was entered into on April 9th,
 1900, just two weeks after the lncor- poratlon of the Imperial Water com pany No. 1, which took place on March 23d, 1900. This contract provided, that whereas the Mexican company was about to build a canal to divert water from the Colorado river and was desirous of SELLING THE RIGHT TO USE such water and Imperial Water company No. was a corporation formed for the purpose of securing supply of water from said Mexican company and supplying same at cost to its stockholders. Therefore the Mexican company agreed to delv- CT at the boundary line an amount of water not exceeding four acre feet per annum for every share of stock of Water company No. l sold and locat- ed within its boundaries and Imperial Water company No. 1 agreed that the Mexican company should have the ex elusive right to sell all of its capital stock and retain to itself $675, ,OOO of the money received from the sale of said stock Also Water company Mo-
 l must build its own canal system at its own expense and must pay for one acre foot of water per annum on each share of issued stock, whether the wat CT was orderedsand used or not. There are few other minor conditions in the contract but we will not mention them all. Our only object in mention ing this contract and summarizing its contents is to give the beginnings of the present contract relations between the Imperial Water company No, l, the Socledad de Yrrigacion and the Cali iornia Development company. It will be noted that the Mexican company states that it was about to dig canal and divert water from the Colorado river and was DESIROUS OF SELL ING THE RIGHT TO USE SUCH WATER. This contract is sale of such RIGHT TO USE such water and is paid for by Imperial Water company No. by turning over 10 said Mexican company all its capital stock which said Mexican company was given the exclusive right to sell and retain $875,- 900 of the proceeds. There is noth- ing extant so far as we can learn to show that the Mexican company owned any water at all at the time this con- tract was made except such as 1t would be entitled to under the laws of Mexico for the irrigation of its own lands in that country.
 However, on December 18th, 1900, nearly nine months after this Mexican company sold THE RIGHT TO USE 100000 acre feet of water per annum on the lands Embraced within the boundaries of Imperial Water company Mo- 1 and received in payment therefor all the capital stock of Imperial Water company Mo- and had sold about 6O.ooo shares of said stock it entered into a contract with the California De- velopment company which reads as follows!
