WATER RATE FIXED AT
$500 BY COURT

"
At the hearing in the Federal court
in Spokane Tuesday on the injunction
suit brought by the Hanford water
right owners against the Consumers
Ditch Company, Judge Webster grant
ed the injunction and fixed the main
tenance this year at $500 per acre for
the contract allowance of 80 inches
instead of the 5000 demanded by the
Consumers Ditch Company.
This $500 rate, however, is condi-
toned upon the filing. of bond in
the sum of $4,000 by the water
right owners for the protection of
the defendant companies in the event
the former are not able to prove at
the $500 rate is sufficient te cover
the operation and maintenance Of the
irrigation system.
In its answer and counter claim in
the suit, the Consumers Ditch Com
pany alleged that under the Webster
decree and the Circuit Court of
Appeals opinion it was the owner
only of the bare legal title of the irri-
gat.on system; that it was without
funds to proceed further and asked
the Court to appoint permanent re-
ceiver to administer the affairs of the
company. The Black Rock company,
in it's answer, asked that the court
appoint temporary receiver pending
the final outcome of the case. Both
of these applications were denied by
the court without prejudice, which
means that the applications can be re-
newed in the future if circumstances
warrant.
The $500 rate is due and must be
paid by the water users anr time now
on demand of the company.
Judge Webster announced that be-
cause of congested calendar it would
be impossible to reach this case for
the final hearing before October or
November.
Before the final hearing it will be
necessary for the water right owners
to employ accountants to expert the
books of the companies and electrical
engineers to check up the power and
pumping plants and transmission lines,
to fortify themselves with evidence to
prove that the maintenance charges
demanded by the companies are ex-
cessive.
In spite of the many tangles of the
case, settlement negotiotions are not
being neglected and it is not improb-
abe that something tangible will be
worked out this fall.
Jay Smith and E. ]. O'Larey of the
water right owners committee drove
up to Spokane to attend the hearing
in the Federal court on Tuesday.
According to the notice from the
Consumers Ditch company published
elsewhere in this issue of the Spokes-
man, the $500 per acre must be paid
not later than S p. m. Tuesday, Au-
gust 10th.

NEW MARKETING PLAN

The nucleus of a cooperative organi
cation for the marketing of the early
fruit and possibly the apples, was
formed at Liberty hall last Saturday
afternoon. Lee M. Lampson who
handles the marketing for the Three
Rivers Growers association, with head
quarters at Kennewick, was here and
outlined to the growers the possibili-
ties of such an organization. A COM
nittce made up of R. J. Roberts, Rob-
ert Nitzsche and A. c. Wade was
selected by these at the meeting TO
work out the pools and other details,
first Of the Elberta peaches and later
of the Jonathan apples. Those present
at the meeting believe that if properly
handled this method of marketing will
net the grower more than under the
old methods.

BANK PRESIDENT IS HOME.

Returning from a three thous.

California highways. Bracey
Curtis. president of The First
National Bank. is back at his
desk.
while I am a staunch Noga
les booster" said Mr.. Curtis, I
cannot but deplore the fact that
Nogales is one of the very few
cities of it's size in the West with
out paved streets. After travel
ing for several thousand miles it
struck me as out of the ordinary,
when returned to Nogales, to
drive into a city devoid of paw.
Ing. This condition should be
remedied at the earliest possible
time. America is living in a
different age. 1t is an age of
transportation and this demands
surfaced roads and streets and
especially city streets. Why is
it that the people of Nogales do
not demand paved streets"
Mr.. Curtis states that he had
a wonderful vacation. He says
that the entire West looks very
good and especially Arizona, -
