GREETINGS
To The Ladies of Fl Centro and Vicinity.

l am not a new conner, having been here before, being a property awner at Holtville and interested in the val ley and it's development. I have had in mind the opening of a millinery shop in Holtville for some time, but circumstances were such that I find it best to open in Fl Centro.
 My aim is to know you and have you know me and would be pleased to welcome you at my shop at any time. I have rest room for ladies and children and wish you to take ad- vantage of it at any and all times, making yourself comfortable and at home, irrespective of buying goods. If at any time you see any thing in my line which pleaSeS you or if you have any material which will answer to make over I think I can satisfy you in tumbling, it into a cute little turban or a handsome hat on the broader lines. I shall aim to make them artistic in coloring and becom- ing to the contour of the face.
 On Saturday, October 1, will serve light luncheon to the ladies and gen. tlemen of the surrounding towns and in the afternoon tea to the ladies and gentlemen of Fl Centro.
 Just One Word to the Men.
 You know womens gowns and hats come high. I propose in selling for cash and one price to all to make the price of the hat correspond with the contents of your pocket book.
 Sincerely yours,
 MAY J. KNAPP.

 Of Boy Missing Six Weeks.

Mrs R Mooney whose home is in Corina. hos been in El Ceutro this week seeking news of her fifteen- year-old on Charles Mooney who has been missing from home for six weeks.

 Mrs. Mooney went to San Diego and there learned that her son had been in that city and had told some of his companions that he proposed to travel across the country to Imperial Valley and then go down into Mexico. Immediately she came by train to Fl Centro, arriving here last Saturday morning. She laid the matter before the Sheriff, and at 9 o'clock on Sat
 
 urday forenoon Jake Meadows started with Mrs. Mooney on the overland trip across to the mountain district between this valley and San Diego, hoping to intercept the youth. At Buckman Springs people remembered having seen a boy answering the de- scription of the Mooney lad, who said he was bound for Campo, but no fur ther word of him was obtainable, and reluctantly the travellers returned to Fl Centro, arriving here Wednesday morning.
 Charles Mooney is feet [ inches high; weighs 105 pounds. has de- cided stoop in his shoulders, and is of delicate appearance He has light brown hair and blue eyes and fail complexion. When last seen he wore blue overalls and jumper and carried g pact covered with gunnysack. Any information of his whereabouts vii be highly appreciated if sent to Mrs R. Mooney at Covina, California.

 Members of the commission object ed that 1t would not be fair to the present users to let new entry men in on better terms than had been imposed upon the old, and argued that the old land should not bear any of the cost of conducting water to new land. In other words the old settlers having bought gold brick they should frame up a scheme to sell it to new syndicate of suckers, Not that the advocates of progressive bunco realized that such was the essence of

HOW STABLE "SW|PES"
 ARE EXPECTED TO TRAVEL
An Interesting Fact Brought Out in
 Suit For Accounting.

The case of pr. W. c. Lentz against J. Q. Vrooman for an accounting was tried before Judge Kent yesterday and the plaintiff was awarded a judgment for S25O. This action was an aftermath of the latest campaign of Tommy Lawson" the well known race horse of pr. Lentz. He was piloted successfully over several cir cults by Mir VroOman in the course of the last season and other seasons The trouble resulting in the action lay in the expense bills presented by Mir Vrooman. In the opinion of the doctor many of the items included should not have been there and ac- cordingly objection was entered to them.
 one of them produced an interesting objection It was for the price of a railroad ticket for man by the name of "Snipes" or "Swipes'' who appears to have been a helper or groom about the stable of Tommy Lawson" Dr. LentZ said there was no authorization for such an expendi- ture as there was more or less concrete understanding that "Snipes" or "Swipes" was to beat his way over the railroads from point to point
 On the face of it. this seemed an extraordinary understanding. In con versation with turfmen later a re- porter learned that a certain class of stable men were expected to hustle for their own transportation in order to keep up with their rapidly nov ing stables Their services were. it was stated. not of such a valuable character that horse owners could af- ford the expense of their railroad fares

Finances and Markets

New York, Dec 23.-The volume of business on the stock exchange touch ed the lowest level of any full day for a long time. During the greater part of the day, sales barely averag- ed 20.000 shares an hour
 The trend of prices was downward all the leaders selling lower than yesterday. The pressure on United States Steel. the copper issues. Read ing and Lehigh Valley was most pro- nounced. though in no instance severe, while such specialties as Con solidated Gas. Western Maryland. common and preferred and American Beet Sugar. were strong. with gains of a point or two. The whole move ment lacked initiative or purpose. however. and the close was dull and heavy.
 The forecast of weekly cash move ment indicated gains by local banks of S5.000.000 or more, due primarily to the recent inflow of money from the middle west. A statement issued by the department of commerce indi- cates changing of our foreign com merce in the last few months. An increase in imports of manufactured articles and a decrease of foodstuffs are the most noteworthy features of this.
 A statement of J. J. Hill was is sued in which he takes a pessimistic view generally. Commercial report shows a decrease in bank clearings of 15 per cent compared with last year.
 Bonds steady. Total sales, par val ue. s1.459.000.
 Government bonds were unchanged during the week. q
