DEATH OF A. II. HEBER
Pioneer Promoter Meets Death in Hotel Holocaust at GOIdfieId,
 Nevada ..

The tragic death of A. H. Heber which occurred In a hotel fire at Gold field, Nevada, Friday night of last week was severe shock to the people of this Valley almost all of whom were acquainted with him and many of whom held him in the highest esteem. MT. Heber was In business in the Ne vada town, being the head of the Im- perial- Goldfield Mining company and also conducting an investment broker age business under the firm name of A. H. Heber & Go. His ventures were proving very successful and at the time of his untlmely death he and his associates were in fair way to recoup the losses they met in the Cal ifornia Development company. Every one in this Valley or interested in 1t met MT. Heber during the time he was at the head of Valley affairs. He led very active life and always hand led large enterprises. He had a large part in the organization of tine Califor- nla Development company and the formation of its plans. After the Chaffey regime was brought to close Mir. Heber took charge of the com. pany as president and general manager which position he held from February 1902. to June. 1905. He was also president of the Imperial Land com pany and of Imperial Water company No. for a term. During his man. agement of the California Develop ment company many troubles beset him. but he came through them all un- scathed and 1t Is now believed that the fault was none of his.

Mir. Heber was native of Pennsyl- vania and was nearly 55 years of age at the time of his death. He was successful banker in Kansas and Iowa before becoming interested In Callfor- nia. It was while living In Chicago and occupying the position of general eastern agent of the Kern County Land Go. that, he became interested In the Imperial Valley enterprise. This was in the year 1895. It was largely through his efforts that the California Development Go. was organized in 1896 and he has always been Its heaviest stockholder. Mir. Hebers home was at 1903 Bonnie Brae avenue, Los An geles. Mrs. Heter and six children survive him. His sons, Earl and Er- nest, were formerly In the lumber bus mess at Imperial and are both we'll known in this Valley. Ernest was with his father in Goldfleld and escap- ed from the burning hotel in which Mir. Heber lost his life. The Heber family are all landowners in this Valley probably owning more land in the val ley than any other family that has in- terests here. They own the Keystone ranch of l6OO acres near Brawley be- sides several sections in Water com pany No. 6 and tracts in other parts of the valley. The people of this val ley always had friend in A. H. Heb CT and many were the expressions of sorrow for his tragic death. Mrs. He- Der and the family have the heartfelt sympathy of all the old settlers in this valley. Many whom they have never met are sorrowing for the friend who has met his death in such a terrible manner.

that the Mexican land owner on the Rio Grande river Is the owner of part of the waters furnished by the Rio Grande water shed and that the canal that will be built and operated In Amer ican territory Is highway for the transportation of his water, that the water Is his property and>Fthe relation between himself and the United States government Is precisely that of shipper and common carrier. The conditions that have already accrued in this Val ley are very similar and will inevitably be recognized in the same was by the forthcoming treaty. In this case the operation began by the California De- velopment company making filing on the waters of the Colorado river to the amount of 10000 cubic feet per sec ond for use in the irrigation of the lands In the Imperial Valley. They then applied to the Mexican govern ment for charter for a corporation. the Sociedad de Yrrlgacion y Terrenos de la Baja California.
 This application was duly granted and the corporation chartered. In this charter 1t is granted the right to take water from point on the international line near the Colorado river and con- vey 1t through v exican territory to other points on the international line and there deliver 1t for use In the United States. Ten thousand cubic feet per second Is the amount of water the Sociedad Is authorized to carry. This water was to be diverted from the Colorado river in the United States by the California Development company in accordance with Its filing made un- der the laws of California and deliver ed to the Mexican corporation. Oper- atlons under this arrangement began on May 18th. 1901, and continued without interruption for more than two years. The water was diverted from the river In the United States by the California Development company and delivered to the Mexican corporation at the International llne. The Mexican company in pursuance of its charter rights conveyed the water through Mexican territory and delivered It at the International line for use In the United States. That operation estab- lished the right of the users of water in this Valley to the continuous flow of their water through the canal or canals of the Socledad de Yrrlgaclon y Terre- nos de la Baja California in Mexico. All the contracts for the delivery of water to the mutual water companies in thls Valley provide for this method of diversion and conveyance and every water right in the Valley Is based upon lt. The waters of the Colorado river that have been put to beneficial use in the irrigation of the lands In thls Val ley belong to the lands on which such use Is made. It Is therefore the prop erty of the owner of the land on which It has been and Is to be used.
 Just as the Mexican land owner on the Rio Grande owns a right In the waters furnished by the Rio Grande

The recent visit to this Valley of Se- |r Fernando Beltran Y Puja. the
 exican International boundary com issloner, was an event of great i'm rtance in many ways. Senor Puja civil engineer of eminent standing only in his own country, but in the prld at large. He is also a trained blomat, a lawyer of great erudition d a man of commanding ability in hny ways. He Is pre-eminently fit- to perform the duties which have en assigned to him by his govern ent in this instance. The solution of international questions involved in use of the waters of the lower Col
 do river for irrigation is rendered lch nearer by his visit. While the ntleman did not submit himself to erviews while here 1t Is known that was very much impressed with the nderful development that has been ought In the Imperial Valley and nt away a strong convert to the position of doing away with the lgatlon requirement of the old hties and devotlng the waters of the orado to irrigation. What he saw he Colorado river at the Mexican ke and at Calexico and along New : also convinced him that the wat hould never again be diverted from Colorado river below the line in xico. His skill as an engineer and wide range of information enabled to quickly see that no volume of er sufficient for the irrigation Of Valley and the lands below the

 steel and concrete gate. He Id also see that no such place ex- below the Mexican line. there all diversions of water for use In Valley and on the lands south Of inc In Mexico must be made from Colorado river above the lnterna- l line in the United States. So convinced of all these facts did pr Puja become that he expressed elf freely regarding them and gave that he would report to his gov lent in favor of the proposed treaty Is now being negotiated between United States and Mexico for the on of the waters of the Colorado

watershed just so does the Imperial Valley farmer own right in the wat CTS of the Colorado watershed. And just as the canals of the United States reclamation service on the Rio Grande are highways for the conveyance of the Mexican landowners water through American territory in like manner the canals of the Socledad de Yrrigaclon y Tenenos de la Baja California are highways for the transportation of the water belonging to the American land owners in this Valley through Mexican territory. The grant to the Mexican corporation by the Mexican govern ment of the right to convey water for use in the United States through Mex lcan territory and deliver 1t back across the line into the United States is nec- essarlly perpetual grant just as all ir- rigation rights must be perpetual This Is principle that Is so well established and so clearly recognized by the Rio Grande treaty that 1t is hardly possible for the question to be raised in this case. The fact that the Mexican government later granted other rights to the Mexican corporation did not abrogate the first rights granted to 1t. And the further fact that these last grants contained In the concession of May l7th 1904, will probably be set aside by the forthcoming treaty between the two nations is not a matter of con- cern to the people of this Valley. Our rights are firmly established and are absolute and will be recognized by both nations. In just what proportions the waters of the Colorado will be di- vlded between the two nations Is, of course. a matter of speculation. It is known that a tentative offer of 600. 900 acre feet of water per annum delivered at the international line on reason able monthly schedule was made some time ago on behalf of the United States to Mexico as her share of the water the United States to retain all the rest except such flood waters as might es- cape down the channel of the river. The above proposed delivery to be made in a canal and under control. This offer was made before there were any damages to consider. At any rate the people of this Valley can rest as sured that the forthcoming treaty con- cerning the Colorado river will in no way initiate against their rights. On the other hand they will be recognized and safeguarded. The rights of the California Development company and the Mexican corporation as carrying companies, serving the people with water are also established and will be recognized and protected.
 The right of the California Develop ment company to extend Its canal sys- tenn In this Valley will no doubt be pro- vlded for. as the secretary of the inter- for has already declared himself In fav- or of 1t. In fact there Is nothing In sight that can in any way jeopardlze or menace the security and prosperity of our people. The International ques- tons concerning the Colorado have been so slmplified and the problems rendered so clear by the events which have transplred during the past few years In connection with the develop ment of thls Valley as we'll as by the precedents established in the treatment of the Rio Grande matter that they are
