pOolClOllO CO UC lIl1uO OA CiiO irrigation system. The South ern Pacific can liquidate the affairs of the old company and operate the system on its own account: it may arrange for transfer of the property, con- sessions and business of the c. D. company to the Government and hand Imperial Valley over to the Reclamation Service, subject to rights already acquir- ed by settlers; or it may dispose of the works to a corporation. syndicate or association of Imperial Valley water users.
 It is known, and admitted by railroad men, that the Southern Pacific prefers to dispose of the property and get back the money it has loaned and spent in the construction of works to control the river and protect the valley. Doubtless the railroad would like also to recover from somebody the money expended in moving it's tracks to avoid the successive raises of Salton Sea. But it is doubtful that the Government would take the system under terms entirely satisfactory to the Southern Pacific, and the Reclamation Service has not shown a dis position to consider the rights and interests of Imperial Valley settlers in it's plans for acquir- ing control of the irrigation system and attaching it to the Yuma project.
 SETTLERS SITUATION
 The solution of this problem which best protects the interests of settlers and promotes the de- velopment and prosperity of Imperial Valley is most to be desired by the Southern Pacific for reasons of self interest, and therefore it is not to be suppos- ed that the general good will be sacrificed in any settlement which the railroad may make of the affairs of the c. D. Go.
 This is the time for the people of Imperial Valley to give ser ious, intelligent consideration to their situation and to unite in devising ways and means of protecting themselves and safe guarding their rights. It is a question if any settler damaged by the overflow or injured by failure to deliver water now has any adequate remedy at law. Contracts for the delivery of water are personal, not real, and no suit on account of fail ure can be maintained. The remedy for this condition is simple, say attorneys, and is in the hands of stockholders of the mutual companies, By changes in the form of incorporation the stockholders may be made the owners of water and the com panies only carriers of water,
 It may be found advisable and practicable for the settlers

 ation of the irrigation system of Imperial Valley begins with the decision of the United States Circuit Court in Los Angeles awarding damages of $476, 746.23 in the case of the New Liverpool Salt Company against the California Develop ment Company, and granting a permanent injuction restrain ing the defendant from divert ing from the Colorado river more water than is required for irrigation.
 The Liverpool Salt Company owned and operated. salt works in the Salton basin, which were submerged by the overflow of the Colorado in 1904, 1905, 1906 and are now eighty feet under the surface of Salton Sea. The Southern Pacific Railroad owns or controls a half interest in the Liverpool Salt Company, and virtually owns and absolute ly controls the California De- velopment Company. The rail- road did not control the Cali, fornia Development Company in 1904, when the overflow be- gan through an intake cut through the west bank of the river in Mexico and inadequate ly protected, but acquired it's interest subsequently, through large loans made to the irriga- tion concern to enable it to re- pair the break and save the irrigation system from total destruction.
 INTERESTS CONCENTRATED
 In the case just decided, the Southern Pacific was virtually suing itself for damages to it's own property, but of course the other stockholders of the Salt Company were parties in in- terest and benefit by the judg- ment, which is a liability of the c. D. Go. Southern Pacific attorneys appeared on both sides. The suit and it's outcome are steps toward liquidation of the California Development Com pany, which is to be placed in the hands of a receiver. The receiver will be w. J. Doran, who holds the stock of the c. D, Company as trustee for the railroad, and who deeded all the real estate of the c. D. Com pany to the Southern Pacific before the judgment was enter ed. While the present status of the irrigation company seems to be complicated by the judg- ment and transfers, and by an attachment on water rentals due from mutual companies, levied by the estate of the late A. H. Heber, the final effect is to concentrate all interests in the hands of the Southern Pacific and clear the way for complete reorganization of the system.
 POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
 There are three possible dis

irrigation and operate it for their own benefit and profit. Whatever the final solution, the settlers should have a voice in determining what it shall be, and now is the time for them to get together and take care of their own interests. Heaven helps only those who help them selves, and the Southern Pacific is no more altruistic than Prov idence, to say the least.
 POINTS OF THE DECISION
 In his decision in the damage case, Judge Wellborn said:
 If, when the suit was brought, there were grounds for injunction, such grounds have not been removed by the des- truction of complainant's works, and by the closing of defend ants intakes. The complain ant is entitled to have it's free hold protected without regard to the amount of damage threaten ed; otherwise the overflow sought to be abated might by prescription ripen into a servi- tude upon the land. Further more, the present safeguard against overfows may be but temporary, while the complain ants remedial rights, if any, include permanent relief.
 ''The evidence does not show any such result in damage to the settlers in the Imperial country from the injunction as would justify it's refusal if complain ant is otherwise entitled to it. On the contrary, the evidence shows that the settlers are as deeply interested in preventing excessive diversions of water from the Colorado River as the complainant, since such extra diversion would or might ulti- mately result in the destruction of their holdings. All that these settlers require is a sufficient quantity of water to irrigate their lands; greater diversions than such irrigation requires could result in no good, and might do them incalculable harm. "
 CAUSE OF OVERFLOW
 In passing on the merits of the case, Judge Welborn states his conclusions to be: That the waters which over flowed complainant's land and de- stroyed it's property were large ly, if not entirely, waters diver ted from the Colorado River through defendants intakes. The defendant was negligent in not selecting proper places for such intakes, and in not provid- ing suitable headgates to control the flow of the water through the intakes. Such negligence was the direct and proximate cause of the overflow of com plainant's lands, and the result ant loss of property.
 Defendants claim that the floods of 1905 in the Colorado River would have overfowed the banks of said river and sub merged complainant's lands, even if it's intakes had not existed, is, it seems to me without merit. Complainant is entitled to the injunction and also to the com pensatory relief claimed at the hearing, emitting, however, the sum claimed for railroad and loss of business. The evidence with reference to the former item is unsatisfactory by failure to show what sort ofa railroad complainant had at the time it was submerged. The loss of business should not be allowed inasmuch as compensation is allowed for the clements enter ing into the said business"
