Apprehension in Valley

Business men who are obliged to main
tain their stocks of goods. are somewhat
apprehensive of the outcome of the strike
which was begun today in all Hartman
system shops. 1t is not expected that
the train men will strike in sympathy
with the shop men, though they are un-
questionably in sympathy with the strike.
But it is feared the deterioration of the
rolling stock will be SO great before the
strike is ended that freight and passen-
ger blockade will result in course of a
short time.
The prospective duration of the strike
cannot be foreseen, as it will become
simply a question of endurance

BACK TO THE OLD PROJECT
GOES BOARD Of DIRECTORS

The directors of Water Company No.
l have given notice that they will call
special meeting of the stockholders
to consider the issuance of 50, 600 shares
additional stock to he sold for $25 a
share.
incidentally, the board is sending to
the stockholders two postal cards to be
signed and returned, one ef which is an
assent to the change in the articles of
incorporation increasing the capital stock.
ana the other is a proxy vesting in
President George A. Long and Secretary
Byron II. Cook authority to vote the stock
of the signer.
Under this plan there would he seen
one more illustration of the evil of con-
stituting powerful inner ring for tn
control of the company, and throughout
the valley there is strong protest againsf
this procedure
As an offset to this attempted con
centration of power in the hands of the
officials, meeting of stockholders is
being held in Calexico today to aDpoint
committee on proxies, the farmers
about Heber have called similar meet
ing to be held at the Institute next SatiIr-
DAY at p. m, ana 1T the same time
the farmers on the Ash and Alamitos
iaterals will meet in Holtvile
1t is believed these three MEETINGS will
result In a determination on the part of
the farmers to recover the control of
water company affairs, rather than con-
firm the assignment of control to others
In view of the fact that the valley has
voted to establish an irrigation district
water stock has lost a large part of IFS
former value, and the attempt to reestab-
lish it on a basis of $25 a share will
be watched with interest.
circular issued by the water COM
pany is as follows:
To the Stockholders: The board of di-
rectors of Imperial Water Company No
l again appeals to it's stockholders for
me enactment OF an amendment to the
artlcieS OF Incorporation, increasing the
capltal stock of the company to 1876 600
shares.
1t is estimated that there are 1876 ooo
acres OF land within the boundaries Of
inns company and but 100000 shares Of
water stock. strict conformity to the
rule requiring stock to be located at
the rate OF one share to each acre and
delivery OF water only to lands upon
which stock has thus been located de-
prlVes the owners of 80 900 acres not
only OF the use of water but also of the
evidence OF water right necessary in max
office '''''
The officers of the company are daily
confronted with grave questions i'm rela-
tlon to the location of water stock and
unless some way is found to give relief
litigatlon and loss are sure to follow. Our
bylaws are not without i!aperfertiOus
but an Increase in the amount of our can
tai stock will make it possible to admin
istcf theH without working an injustice
