FERGUSON & COMPTON
FIRM is DISSOLVED

The real estate firm of Ferguson
& Compton, located at Seeley, has
been dissolved and has been succeeded
by the Compton Realty Company.
On account of the rapid growth of
the town, Mr.. Ferguson, who is vice
president of the Seeley Townsite Co.,
and who has large holdings in the vi
cinity of Seeley, finds the demands
upon his time so multiplied that he
can no longer give the necessary time
to the real estate business; therefore
his retirement from the field.
The new company is composed of
w. H. Compton and c. S. Mastick, and
retains the exclusive local agency of
the Seeley Townsite Co. The Comp
ton Realty Co, proposes to do gen
eral real estate business, paying par
ticular attention to lands on the west
side of the valley.

East Side Water
Case Continued

international News Night service)
Los Angeles, Jan. 12.-Judge Ny
ers today continued for two weeks
the hearing of the petitien of Re-
ceiver Holabird of the California De-
velopment Company to rescind the
contract with the Imperial East Side
Water Company. Holabird stated
that the East Side Company had
failed to put up the necessary money
to guarantee delivery of water.
Mexican Receiver Andrade was then
appealed to, according to Holabird,
and arranged to supply the water,
which involves 1000 acres.
Attorney Conkling for the East Side
Company, however, stated that his
clients took the water from Andrade
because they believed the California
Company could not furnish an ade-
quate supply. 1t came out that the
fight of the East Side Company to
have the contract remain in effect
is due to the necessity of the ranch
ers seeking irrigation waters to deal
with the California Company in or
der to protect their patent grants.

need not fear the outcome of the in

will result in the making of "prize"

for exhibition purposes.

imperative, and was fast coming.

the demand would steadily increase,

Walter E. Burke of Los Angeles is
acting for the plaintiffs.
The contention of the plaintiffs is
that on the third day of March, 1871,
a grant Of the public lands was made
by congress Of the United States to
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany to aid said company in the con-
struction of railroad from Te-
hachepi, California, via Los Angeles,
to a point of meeting at or near
Yuma, Arizona. That by the terms
of said grant there was granted to
the defendant every alternate odd
numbered section of the public lands,
not mineral, to the amount of ten sec
ton per mile on each side of said
railroad within the limits of twenty
miles of said railroad. Said act
further provided that all such sec
tions not sold or otherwise disposed
Of within a period of three years
from and after the completion of said
railroad, should be open to settlement
and pre-emption and should be sold
and disposed of to settlers at an av-
erage price not exceeding $3.50 per
acre to be paid said railroad by said
purchaser.
The claimants further state that on
the seventh day Of January, 1914,
they rendered the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company the necessary
amount for specified lands on the
basis of $3.50 per acre and demanded
a conveyance of the premises, which
the defendant refused to recognize.
