Biography/History
The Asotin Land and Water Company, an affiliated subsidiary of the Lewiston Clarkston Improvement Company, had originally been its competitor for the waters of Asotin Creek. In 1902, the Lewiston Water and Power Company, a predecessor to the L.C.I.C., acquired control of the Asotin Land and Water Company and efforts were begun to rebuild and expand their flume and siphon on the creek. Because of this corporate takeover, some records from the Asotin Land and Water Company remain with those of the L.C.I.C. The Asotin Land and Water Company retained its identity as an organization until about 1939.
Scope and Content
Correspondence, financial, stock and tax records of an Asotin, Washington, irrigation and domestic water supplier, operating as a subsidiary of the Lewiston-Clarkston Improvement Company. These records of the Asotin Land and Water Company principally deal with financial, fiscal or tax-oriented matters.
Arrangement
The records are arranged in six series: Correspondence, Fiscal and Financial Records, Stock Records, Tax Records, Other Papers, and Check Registers.
