Geographic Society from it's washing ton headquarters, which says:
 All the territory of the four border states of California. Arizona. New Mexico, and Texas originally belong ed to the Mexican republic, and if the United States were called upon to guard the lines which constituted the southern border before the acquisi- ton of Texas and the land purchased after the war of 1S48, the boundary would extend for distance of 2, ,500 miles. instead Of 1835 miles as now.
 The Rio Grandes which constitutes a natural boundary between the two countries of 1,136 miles, rises in the mountains of southern Colorado and flows southeast into the Gulf of Mexd- co. It becomes a. part of the bound ary at P. Paso, some TOO miles from its source. Owing to the extensive use of its waters for irrigation pur- poses and to rapid evaporation during the summer months, the rivers volume frequently is so diminished that for many miles along it's course the bed becomes dry. Its How is by no means commensurate with it's length or with the basin of 24e,900 square miles which it drains.
 The Rio Grande is nayigated by small boats for 500 miles above its mouth but it is one of the most vari- able of rivers. the volume of water which 1t discharges some years being ten times as great as during others.
 To the Mexicans the upper river is

known as the Rio Grande del Norte' (Great River of the North) but in the Big Bend region, where the latest border outrages have occurred, 1t is known as the Rio Bravo (Rapid River).
 The whole boundary line as it now exists between the United States and Mexico has been established through the purchase of territory by the for mer republic, for, although the war of 1S4S was fought to fix the Rio Grande as the Texas border, by the GuAdalupe Hida1go treaty Mexico received S$15,- 0o0.D00 and was relieved of $3,o00, 600 of debts, in payment for her sessions in Texas and for the territory en- braced in flse state then known as New Mexico. from which California, Neya- das Utah. most of Arizona and por- tfons of Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico have been carved. Six years after this treaty the Gadsden Pur- chase was consummated whereby for S10, ,O00, ,000 the United States, in addi- ton to other concessions, acquired more than 45, 900 additional square miles lying between the Gila River on the north and the present boundary line between Arizona and New Mex ico and the Mexican state of Sonora. This sale was unpopular in Mexion and was partly responsible for the banishment of President Santa Anna
