AMERICAN INVESTMENT
IN MEXICO

A senator asked the question in his
speechs on the army bill, and he gave
some interesting figures in answer.
The Senator said he had had great
difficulty in securing the statistics
concerning foreign investments in Mex
leo. AS the best than can be obtained
he quoted from report made by Mar
ion Letcher, consul at Chihuahua in
1912. The totals show the following
investments of capital in that year:
American, $1,O57,770,OOO; Mexican,
$793, ,1S7, 900; English, 321, 1902; French,
$143,446, 900; other nations, S11S,535,-
900.
American money invested in railway
stocks, $235,464,OO0; Mexican invest
ments. 1925, ,44O,0 900.
American money in railway bonds,
$4OS,92 900; Mexican, $12,275,0OO.
American money invested in mines,
1929, 100000; Mexican money in simi.
lar investments, $7,5OO,O00.
American money invested in OIL
$15,OO0,O0O; Mexican investments in
same line, $65O,000.

DUSTIN FARNUM

Star of a score of photoplays that
hold rank as the very finest produc-
tions of the cinematographic art, Dus-
tin Farnum has been accorded by pop.
ular acclaim the position in the van
of American screen artists. In his
roles of the virile American, he appeals
as no other actor can to the senses OF
justice and fair play through his en-
inently skillful interpretations.
In such role as this Mr.. Farnum
is to be seen in '"The Call of the Cum
berlands," in which he will bring out
in even greater efflux than in "The
Gentleman From Indiana" his current
triumph, the sympathy of his audi
ence. Also tonight will be shown the
last episode of the Mysteries OF
Myra."

Board Undecided How to Handle
Matter That is Badly Wanted but
Which Takes $4,000 Before Oeto.
Der I, 1917 to Get-Whether or
not Request for Remuneration
will be Granted Rests with Board
In letter to the board of directors
of the Imperial Irrigation District En-
gineers Anderson and Grunsky, who
recently spent week on the Colorado
river and in inspecting the entire wa
ter system under which the richest
portion of California lies, the engi
neers ask for nifty sum of money for
their work. From the letter it would
seem that 800 a day each and eXpen'
ses would be about right. Also that
minimum of $4,000 for their work be
considered the limit.
The alternative is a contract for one
year at $500 per month for each engi
reer and $50 day added when any
work compelled their personal atten'
tion in the valley.
For $4,000 the engineers agree to
take up specifically for the directors
any problems that are TO be decided,
including the eight items enumerated
in the editorial columns of this issue
of the Progress.
The board, at its last meeting. took
no action on the matter but put it over
until the next meeting.
Several astute business men declare
that the money would be well spent
for the report would undoubtedly form
q basis on which the policy of the dis
trict could be permanently founded
and one on which the opponents of
c. r. lockwood could find ground to
drop their agitation and get in and
help the valley reach that high place
which It's intrinsic worth demands.
