Ranche1's Lose
Seepage Suits
Against No. 5
----w.S.s.-

An important decision was rem
dercd yesterday afternoon by Supe-
rior Judge Franklin J. Cole in the
cases of Hall and Patterson against
Imperial Water Companies Nos. 8, S
and Z, in which the plaintiffs asked
reimbursement for damage to their
land which had been caused by seep-
age from the canals owned by the wa
ter companies. Judge Cole ruled for
the defendants.
In the opinion filed today the court
states that it was early and definite
ly decided by the courts of Califor-
MIA that the ditch owner is not liza
BILE for leakage not caused by his neg
ligence.
1t has been shown, states the de-
cision, that the defendants had
right to construct and maintain a ca
nal next to the property Of the plain
tiffs, and the court found that the
companies employed competent engi-
neers and in the construction of the
canal followed their specifications. AL
though the canal was built through
eds of sand, it was shown that the
Colorado river water running in the
canal carries silt which usually ce-
ments up the ditch.

Of the Southern Pacific urges all
shippers who are holding stocks Of
cotton and grain to get them or the
market at once if they would have
prompt shipping service.
Mr.. Sparks said the car situation
in Imperial Valley is such that the
gigantic crops which will soon be
ready for market will tax the rail-
road company to its capacity.
"Indications are that this years CO.
ton and corn harvest will be 80 per
cent greater than last year." he said.
THE fall harvest throughout the
United States will be large. We had
a car shortage last year and the Val
ley shippers recall the troubles, we
had. Just at present the empty ear
supply is free and sufficient to take
care Of al commodities which are
now ready to ship. We should clean
up all the baled cotton, manure, bar
ley and wheat and ship as mucn hay
as possible right now.
Later on you will get caught IN
the rush ard il will then be necessary
for you to take your turn.
Corn Is being chopped and cotton
nicknd The fall harvest is fast com
ing on Every pound shipped in July
and August will he that fewer pounds
to move when the rush comese.
Imperial Valley is thirty days
ahead Of other points with its farm
harvests and if We get caught in the
rush and heavy shipping season It is
cur own fault. IF You have anything
