	California Water Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The wars started with Fred Eaton, who was mayor of Los Angeles in 1898.
		Eaton and Mulholland had a vision of a Los Angeles that would become far bigger than the Los Angeles of the turn of the century.
		Eaton and Mulholland realized that the Owens Valley had a large amount of runoff from the Sierra Nevada, and a gravity-fed aqueduct could deliver the Owens water to Los Angeles.

	PBS - THE WEST - Fred Eaton
		As a real estate speculator aver for Los Angeles, clearing the way for William Mulholland to bring the river's water to thend former Los Angeles Mayor, Fred Eaton was the mastermind who acquired the Owens Riir booming city.
		Elected Mayor in 1898, Eaton created the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and, together with his friend and former employee William Mulholland, advanced the idea of building a gravity-fed aqueduct from the Owens Valley to Los Angeles.

		Eaton's upper-class pedigree as the son of a prominent citizen and his dapper appearance contrasted sharply with Mulholland's poor Irish beginnings and his peasant's physique.

		Fred Eaton's plan was to save the city of his birth and enrich himself immeasurably at the same time.

	Module 2
		Eaton and Mulholland had a great influence with the Los Angeles Water Commission, and a reasonable amount of pull with other city officials, but they would also need to get approval from the citizens of Los Angeles in the form of a bond election.
		Eaton was also paid $100,000 for securing other land, but although he came out rather well, he was still short of the million dollars he thought he deserved—and this would remain a sore point with him for the rest of his life.
		Eaton would periodically press his claim concerning the possible storage site at Long Valley—always pushing for as much money as he though he might possibly be able to get, and always extremely annoyed that Mulholland (his former protégé) would veto Eaton’s plan to become a millionaire.

	PBS - THE WEST - William Mulholland
		Mulholland and Eaton realized that to acquire the Owens River for Los Angeles, they would have to put an end to this irrigation project -- a task for which Eaton was well qualified.
		The local agent of the Reclamation Service was a political crony of Eaton's, and he allowed his friend to examine critical land and water rights documents on the pretense that it was necessary for the orderly advancement of the Owens Valley project.
		Eaton, in turn, hired his friend -- at a generous salary -- to develop the city's plan to take the Owens River.

	Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In the Owens Valley, Mulholland encounters a momentary problem with an old friend, Fred Eaton, who first proposed the aqueduct but who hopes to retain enough water in the valley to support his own ranching operations and to develop a power project.
		Fred Eaton had not then begun to think of power development but was seeking instead absolute control of Los Angeles' new water supply.
		Eaton withdrew only after extracting an exhorbitant ransom from the City and even then he continued to undermine the project for years afterward.
