LAWSUIT ENDED BY A
MAMMOTH STOCK DEAL
Dissatisfied Share Holders in
Owens River Company
Are Bought Out
SALE PRICE IS $300,000
Threatened Legal Battle Is
Suddenly Averted by
a Compromise
OAKLAND, July 18.— Interests. In the
Owens River water and power com
pany, represented byrEdson F. Adams,
have settled the stockholders', quarrel
in that corporation by purchasing for
more than |300,000 the stock held by
those who contested a recent assess
ment of 2 cents a share. An injunction
suit : brought In the superior court to
prevent the sale of delinquent stock
! was dismissed today by -Attorney Abe
P. Leach, representing the opposition.
Leach said .that the Adams people had
bought his clients' holdings.
C. E. Watson, W. C. Watson, James
N. Block, John Landers, Maud Dozier,
W. D. Watson and Charles Wonacott,
holding about 200,000 shares, were
named as plaintiffs in the action. They
alleged the decision of the directors
was illegal and maintained the.capi
tal stock could not be assessed because
nearly two-thirds of it was still In the
treasury. F. .1. Early, J. H. Macdonald, j
E. P. Cook, E. T. Holland and T. B.
Dozler were named as defendants. -
The dispute assumed considerable
proportions in view of the fact that the
city of Los Angeles has recently bonded
Itself for $23,000,000 to purchase* the
waters of the Owens river for a drink
ing supply.
.^ The Owens River -water and power
company owns the water rights which
form the basis of the Los Angeles pro
ject to obtain a municipal water sup
ply. This company's locations were
made by C. E. Watson, who headed the
opposition to the Adams' interests,
which had obtained control of the
board of directors. Adams located
rights nearer the source of Owens river
by three miles. He formed the Mono'
power company. In the settlement the
i Watson stock passed back through the
Adams company to the Owens river
company, and thus the Adams people
gained absolute control of the river
water rights. The Watson stock was
sold to H. A. Mosher,' private secretary
to Edson Adams.
The Owens River Water and Power
company was capitalized for %Z, 000,000.
One-third of the stock was issued and
about one-half of this was owned by C.
E. Watson and his associates. In view
of the settlement the Mono power com
pany and the Owens river company will
probably be consolidated, as they are
both now under the control of Edson
F. Adams and the interests that he rep
resents.

Strictly to newspaper men, but by mutual agreement we
have decided to open our membership roll to the public

the Association, at which time the members will be called together
and the property drawn by lot, thus giving each member an equal
share of the portions containing the improvements.
The cost of one membership, although you may take as many as
you like up to 10, is $300, which may be paid up in full at once and
draw 6 per cent, or may be paid in installments of $15. on'
receiving membership certificate and $10 monthly until paid.
The $300 you pay for membership covers every item of expense.
There are no salaries to pay, but you may be asked to serve on
some committee.
We may say here that the land we have purchased adjoins a tract
put on the market by a large real estate firm of Oakland and that
they are selling and have sold them as high as $3,000 a lot.
In sending in application blank we wish to callyour attention to the
fact that the membership, is limited to 250, and if you wish to be-
come; a member you must act at once.
