STOCKS MAKE Big GAINS
FROM LOWS FOR YEAR
BY B. c. FORBES

Today's column shows what has
happened this year on the New York
Stock Exchange. Seeing that the
stock market is supposed to fOrctcll,
several months ahead, how general
business will move, the record should
interest everybody.
The figures here presented show
that stock quotations have enjoyed an
extraordinary rise from the low prices
of the year.
The average advance Of 20 repre-
sentative industrial stocks from the
bottom to the top quotations has been
no less than S42 share.
Sixteen leading public utility stocks
have scared even more spectacularly
their gain being $40 n share.
Railroad stocks have not been
marked up so drastically. Twelve Of
the largest dividcnd-paying systems
show an average maximum rise for
the year Of SIT n share, while a
group of conspicuous non-dividend'
payers have moved up on an average
Of $50 a share.
There is a notable difference in the
income yields of the various groups
of stocks at the quotations ruling to-
day.
The railroads give purchasers at
present prices a better income than
the other classes of sticks. Our table
reveals that the average income on
railroad stocks is $50 per cent. The
following figures were compiled on
Saturday morning, price fractions are

IRRIGATION
PERMIT
State Board Approves Plan
for Dam Over Protests
Of Other Towns.

AUSTIN, Sept. 29.-tP)-Citizens
of Sabinal and vicinity today were
granted a permit over protest of
Penrsall, Dilley. Corpus Christi and
Robstown representatives, to erect a
dam on the Frio river in Uvalde
county, capable Of impounding water
efficient to irrigate 10000 acres.
Members of the state board of water
engineers said absorption Of waters
of the river by fault lines between
the proposed Sabinal site and the pro-
posed site of Pearsall-Dilley interests
at Friotown moved them to grant the
permit. Sabinal representatives said
an irrigation district would be or
ganized Immediately and steps taken
to put over the project at an esti-
mated cost of S1,750,000.

Of Sabinal permit would interfere

Corpus Christi and Robstown repre-

is a tributary of Nueces, water sup
ply of their cities might be affected
In supporting its verdict, the board
produced n gauge record of the Frio
river. This record showed last May
the Frio at flood registered a flow
near the proposed Sabinal project
site of 100 cubic feet second. while
at Friotown it registered a flow Of
only 20 cubic feet second. The rec
ord also showed that from April, 1924
through July, 1925, there was suffi-
cient water only four months TO reg

Only a very small part of the
water gets as far south as Eriotown.
The water sinks in the fault lines of
the BALCONIES fault. The board feels

Among those appearing for Sabinal
were DIP. j. NJ. Lavender and Eugene
Corder of Sabinal, Terrell Bartlett
and John S. Fenner of San Antonio,
engineers.
Mr.. Bartlett said the proposed site
was ideal for building a dam.
Water from the proposed reser-
voir would irrigate one Of the finest
