			<p>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.</p>
