WILL IMPERIAL VALLEY NEGLECT
So SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY?

There is not an individual in I'm
pcrial valley who would not invest a
cent where he was certain to win a
dollar.
But it is an open question whether
the people collectively will invest a
few hundred dollars when as vast pro-
portionate gain is to be had.
Tens of thousands of people-home
seekers-men and women who are
looking for just such homes as this
valley has to offer-will visit the Los
Angeles land show, eager for informa-
ton, and this valley is doing nothing
to present to those people the magni-
ficent opportunities held out.
San Joaquin valley, with hundreds
OF boosters, will be represented every
hour OF the day the show continues,
and every effort will be put forth
to divert the people to the northward.
There is not a farm in Imperial
valley but should be doubled in value,
and the only reason the value is not
doubled is that colonization this val

WILL THE Nd, | WATER USERS
PERMIT OBSTRUCTIVE TACTICS?

When, at the time of the establish
ment of the irrigation district last
July, Attorney McPherrin, speaking
for the directors of Water Company
No. |, explained that the attitude of
the directors was friendly and simply
designed TO test the legality of the pc
tition for the election. it was hoped
he represented the true sentiment of
the directors
But since then the mask of friend
ship has been torn aside, and steps
now taken preliminary to taking the
contest to the supreme court of the
United States show how it will be
possible for the board, if held in office.
to continue for years their policy of
squandering the resources of water

The petition for rehearing by the
state supreme court, laying the foun-
dation for appeal to the national SUI
preme court, is at hand and is in eff
feet a declaration of Attorneys Nc
Pherrin and Hunsaker & Britt for the
directors of war to the bitter end.
The notice comes to the stockhold-
ers at an opportune time. In a little
more than two weeks the annual
meeting of Water Company No. 1 will
be held and the present board will
seek reelection.
Should Messrs. Long, Heber and
Reed be reelected, it would be an
endorsement by the stockholders of
the policy of obstructive, wasteful lit
isation, taxing the water users to

HOW CANTALOUpES ARE
TO Be PARCELED OUT

The Packer, in correspondence from
New York, thus tells how the canta-
loupe crop of the valley has been
parcelled out among the shipping in
terests:
Since the California shippers and
distributors Of cantaloupes began get
ting together about two months ago
all kinds of rumors and gossip have
been going the rounds as to what
they were doing, what they were 60
ing to do and what they have done.
AS was announced in the Packer two
weeks ago, the week of the league
convention here the big distributors
interested in California cantaloupes fl
nally after a five days session at
Hotel Astor reached an agreement
Everything was settled, officers
elected, a manager chosen and name

JUDGE HILTON SPEAKS ON
INNOCENCE OF M'NAMARA

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSI
DENVER. Jan. 29.-Judge O. n
Hilton, retained as associate counsel
fer the McNamaras at the trials in
ception, declared before the Denver
trades and labor assembly today that
he believes that John J. Mcnamara is
innocent. Before making the state
ment he asked the assembly to de-
clare executive session, saying he did
not want the Los Angeles grand jury
TO learn of his knowledge Of the case.
He declared Johns innocence could
be proven.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29-"John
knew what he was doing. He took
his medicine and is satisfied" COM
mented lie Compte Davis of the Nc
Namara counsel, in reference to Judge
Hilton's statement at Denver. Davis
refused further comment.

ley should have is diverted elsewhere.
That 10000 people can be brought
to this valley each year and afforded
splendid opportunities for fortune
making is absolutely true. If they do
not come it will be because the true
story of this valley is not laid before
them
If they do come at this rate for
one year, the value of the farms of
this valley will in that time be in
creased by twenty million dollars.
In this land show is the greatest OPP
portunity the valley has ever had.
But it depends on the people of the
valley whether they will take advan-
tage of it.
The land owner is wont to say: II
depend on the real estate men to do
the advertising"
The real estate man says: II can
not alone carry on the work of pub
licity"
And there you are, and little is
done

maintain both sides of the legal fight
Thus far, the directors have squan-
dered thousands of dollars on attor-
neys' fees, adding that expense to
the cost of water, and while their pol
icy would imply continuance of such
waste on their part, it would also
compel the irrigation district direct
ors to levy higher taxes to resist the
water company.
And, after all, this obstructive liti-
cation between the people as a water
company and the people as an irriga-
ton district would lead to no results
beyond the possible enrichment of q
few lawyers
The attack made on the irrigation
district is purely technical, the main
question being whether there was Suf-
ficient proof furnished the supervisors
that the men who purported to have
signed the petition had actually
signed it.
Should the case now go to the su-
preme court of the nation it would be
to pass on an issue that is already
dead for whatever the technicality of
the law may be on the issues raised
the legislature by special enactment
has decreed the validity of Imperial
Irrigation district and by another en-
actment has declared that only the
encouragement can bring suit to test
the validity of any irrigation district

Water Company No. / can hope to
do is TO enrich MeSSrS HunSaker &

influence and business they added to
The organization, was no small matter
70 figure out Consequently there was
great deal Of trading and giving
and taking at the various meetings.
After perhaps a dozen of these long
drawn out meetings held in several
different cities the problem was finally
worked out.
Friday night, January II. at Hotel
Astor. after the meeting was over, the
cantaloupe contingent mingled i'm the
corridor, each one wearing a bright
smile on his face, indicative of the
fact that everything was lovely.
Frank Wagner Of Chicago, before
the meeting adjourned, was appointed
press representative to give out de-
tails for publication Mr.. Wagner is
undoubtedly a press representative

from subsequent issues of the various
trade publications Mr. Wagner has not
been working
II vas learned after the meeting
that the list of officers elected were
as follows: President, Alex Strachan,
who is also secretary and manager
OF the Mutual Distributing Company;
vice-president, J. S. Crutchfeld OF
Crutchfield g. Voolfolk; treasurer, C.
Fl. Weaver of Chicago; secretary, J.
Friedheim, Chicago The general man
ager is Peter Hovely of Brawley, Cal,
who in the past has been closely con-
nected with the Lyons-Coggins combi-
nation. The name of the new organ
ization is TO be the Western Canta-
loupe Exchange with headquarters at
Chicago.
The organization of the exchange
is wrought with much detail and coy
ers everything with regard to handling
the Imperial valley cantaloupes eX-
cept price making, and the members
enc and all agree without exception
that nothing was said or nothing will
be done toward getting together up
on marketing prices. The principal
object is to regulate shipping and dis
tributiOn in the various markets. So
far as can be learned at present the
intention is to advance not over 20
cents crate in the valley, but this
may be changed later With regards
to daily shipping it is agreed to reg
ulate this in accordance with the de-
mand The handling of the canta-
loupes in the various markets will re.
main in the hands of the immediate,
members of the organization and this
allotment was made after facts and
figures had been gone over carefully.
the object being to allow each dis
tributor to handle the same percent
age of the crop comparatively that he
handled in the past, personally and
through his various agents in the re-
spective markets.
The account of the exchange will
be handled in New York by Lyon
Bros. Company and Olivit Brothers:
in Pittsburgh by Crutchfield & Wool
folk and NJ. o. Coggins Company; in
Philadelphia by Z. S. Armstrong &
Co. and John b. Cancelmo; in Chi
cago by c. II. Weaver & Co. J. Fried
helm, Wagner & Sons and Crutchfield.

be sole agent in Buffalo and C. II.

handle the account i'm Boston. All
of the accounts in the smaller cities
and also in small markets of the coun-
Try will be handled principally by
brokers.

of the people of the valley making
progress in the work of reclamation,
and if the directors should be able
to gain reelection and should be able
to continue the litigation for years
and should in the end win their con-
tention, they will have arrived no.
where, for the legislature has made
the district valid regardless of the
technical points they have raised and
has made it impossible for the di-
rectors to even raise the question of
validity
But it is inconceivable that the
stockholders of Water Company No.
will reelect the board of directors
when such reelection would impose the
burden of paying the costs of both
sides of the waSteful and meaningless
litigation.
While this litigation is designed to
be obstructive to progress, it will not
necessarily have that effect The di-
rectors of the district are already at
work on the program of getting data
10 submit to the people several pro-
Dosals on which they can decide how
best to acquire an irrigation system,
and there is nothing in the pending
litigation to stay their procedure
nothing but q program of enrichment
of lawyers at the expense of the
farmers.
There is one way to stop this need
less waste of the resources of the
valley, and that is to elect a board
of directors who will put an end to
the policy of compelling the people to
maintain litigation against themselves.
