The first complete report of Ameri.
can financing for the calendar year
1925 is contained in Dillon, Read &
Co.'S Investment Review for the cur
rent month which presently will be
made public. A compilation of new
loans obtained through the floating of
bond issues for domestic and foreign
accounts, contained in the Review
will show that all past records In
the history of American finance were
shattered during 1925. The volume OF
such financing totaled $6,867, ,240, 1923,
exceeding by more than a half bill
lion dollars the previous record which
was S6,327 ,0S5, ,94l, set in 1924.
Foreign Loans Total.
Foreign loans aggregated 81 ,040,935 D..
500, making the second time that the
billion dollar figure has been exceeded.
Public utility financing also crossed
the billion-dollar mark with a total
OF 81 ,63S $50 .204. The years new in.
vestment in this classification was 100
per cent of 1924, l19 per cent of 1929,
1874 per cent of 1922, 2S6 per cent OF
1921, and $40 per cent of 1920. But
most striking of all increases over
past records was the increase in new
financing of land and buildings. which
classification is now the third largest
in domestic loans. being exceeded only
by public utilities and municipalities.

LONDON, January l6. - Modern
wives who refuse to take their hus-

taries by the ears. Engravers have
profited, however. and passport bu-

1t is not safe now TO send an invita-

And that is a tragedy where engraved
invitations have been carefully count
ed on the old fashioned theory that
married couples are really married in
good old Victorian style.
Wives who are willing to travel on
family passport issued in the name
of the head of the family are rapidly
gong out OF fashion. Even if they do
wear their husba ands' names they want
separate passport, and that means
extra fees for visas.

new PHASE IN
REGARD
CRANDE WATER
Several New Features
Brought In Since
Hearing at Edinburg
Closed

EDINBURG. Tex. Aug. 5.-The
difficulty of reaching decision on
the application of Marvin Goodwin
of Mission for permission to take
water from the Rio Grande to irri-
gate a 25,000-acre tract OF land near
Mission has been complicated since
the hearing here by other problems
than those discussed during the
hearing. il i reported in Edinburg
by local men who have returned
from Austin.
The board Of water engineers are
reported 10 be baffled by several
matters in connection with the ap-
plication.
The first of these is the question
of riparian lands. The board is al
most forced to the conclusion that
there are no riparian lands in the
Lower Valley. Riparian lands are
defined as those lands composing the
watershed Of a ri.er. or lands adj
jacent to the river and which fur
nish the stream with all or part of
its water.
II is an interesting fact that in
practically every portion Of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley the water
flows away from the river. and not
toward il. when thefe is any rainfall.
This is due to the fact that flood
waters deposited most Of their silt
near the river. building up this land
higher than that more distant, and
causing the water to flow away from
the river.
This brings about the unusual con
dition of river without riparian
lands adjacent to it.
The other questions over which
the commission is debating are
those Of jurisdiction. prior claims
and the like. The board. II is re-
ported. has about become convinced
that il has jurisdiction over only
the flood waters of the Rio Grande
the federal governments of the
United States and Mexico having
jurisdiction over the normal flow.
The question Of prior rights based
on usage is also to be settled, and
the decision of the board is being
awaited with interest, as il will
have a bearing on future decisions.
