STOCK LETTERS


 NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-Persistent selling in leading stocks brought about reactions of, from to 8 points today, although the volume could not be con- sidered heavy enough to indicate real liquidation. It is more likely that traders sensed a technical setback and the oil investigations again offered an excuse for selling. The oils were among the hardest hit from . group stand point, very few of them showing any resistance at any time. Copper stocks ran contrary to the general list. and demand for the metal this group dis played the firmest tone opened in many weeks. South Porto Rico Sugar de- clared dividend of $1.50 on the com mon, placing the stock on a $S basis, which is the first dividend since April, 1921. Seaboard preferred was one of the strongest features among the small rails. and further strength was noted in the adjustment 6s. The bonds are still considered . good investment, all though they have had big rise. Earn inss are said to be four time interest requirements, and a substantial back payment must be made at next meet ings. Fisher Body, which is very much of speciality, advanced $196 to S2o2 per share. It could not be said that the final tone was exactly weak, as many stocks appeared to have completed their declines around 280 and held their own thereafter. Total sales, 935, 400 shares. -Fenner & Eeane to Kahn Bros. & Virgin. 7,t
 NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-News over the holiday was not particularly inter- esting marketwise, although President Coohdge's speech at the dinner here last night was very well received, and we are told that when delivered 1t was even more convincing and finer than 1t seems when read, for 1t showed the apsolute honesty, courage and sincerity Of Mir. Coolidge. The oil scandal has been seized upon with avidity by our undertaking politicians, who are trying to prove that everybody in the coun- try Is corrupt. The whole affair Ia most deplorable. However, we can state that the best opinion seems To te that It will not have any special po- iitical effect either way, although m doubt temporarily it Is having a dis tinctly dampening effect on the stock market. The market has been uuieter today and Is closing heavy and duil sales, S3o,00O.-Post & Flaer to shan non & Co.

Big businesses grow from small ones. Every right-think- ing man knows this, so he isn't discouraged to begin in a small way.
 But often it's hard to get a start--even a small start.
 Il know could make that cigar store profitable" Joe Groenigan was saying. I've had experience, and I have lots of friends. But for the lack of q few hundred dollars I lose my chance. The man has his price and l can't quite meet it, and that's all there is to it."
 You can meet it if you go about it in the right way" re- torted his father. "The accom- modation you need is exactly the sort that Trustees System will furnish you--a loan running for year, repayable in easy month ly installments, and secured by good character and steady earn ings.

THREE STILLS CAPTURED
BY SHERIFF NEAR KINGMAN

Sheriff Mahoney's staff gathered In
one of the largest stills that has been
brought to Kingman, a raid on the
premises of Jim Negro, at Goldroad,
last Saturday. The still has capac-
ity Of fifty gallons and was staunch-
ly-made affair. All the paraphernalia
that goes with a distillery was also
taken in the raid, besides about 38
gallons Of the vilest hootch. From the
appearance of the still it might be
deduced that the manager of the thirst
reduction plant was anxious to get as
much of the decoction on the market
as quickly as possible and therefore
filled the kettle too full, and as con-
sequence it carried over a large part
of the mass or mess.
A smaller affair was found the
same day at the home of Quisada Sal
ustio,s at Oatman. A small quantity
of liquor was found at the same time
and the still and all appurtenances
thereof taken into custody.
The two men are the heads of large
families and the officers found evil
dences of squalor in the homes, indi-
eating that the men had gone into the
business to get some easy money.
Their hearing has not yet been set,
as the local officers have turned the
affair over to the federal government.

RAW FUR PRICES ARE
SKY HIGH SAYS BUYER

A. B. Shubert, Inc, of Chicago, the
largest house in the world dealing ex-
clusively in American raw furs, whose
ad appears elsewhere in this paper,
reports an exceptionally strong de-
mand for furs of all kinds.
Shubert says: "There is a shortage
of all furs. This shortage was caused
by restricted trapping in most states.
We advise every man and boy who
traps or handles furs to profit by the
big jump in our fur prices all
the traps you can-get all the furs
you can trap or buy and ship quick"
Shubert is offering $50 in cash
every day during the fur season for
the three best handled shipments Of
furs received. The first prize is $25,
second SIS and third $40. The purpose
of the contest is to stimulate interest
in the proper handling Of raw furs.
Everyone has chance to win prize.
All that is necessary is to ship them
six or more furs. Prizes are awarded
daily to the three best handled ship
ments received.

1000 BARREL STILL IS
FOUND NEAR PRESCOTT

The two men, Lee Eppley and King

federal prohibition agents within
three miles of Prescott early this week
have fled, according to one of the Of
ficers who have been trailing them
for the last few days.
eve found their car, we found
their mail and express, and we locat-
ed the house in which they were living
here in Prescott" the officer said last
night, "but the two men who were
making the booze escaped. Probably
one of them was at or near the shack
on the Humboldt road the night we
made the raid, for we could see his
tracks going off into the brush. He,
no doubt, came right back to Prescott,
warned his confederate and left the
country.
"He forgot, however, and left some
letters in the house, which aided us
in finding his name. Those letters
were all we had to start on to find
these men. They were receiving their
yeast from the Fleischmann Yeast Co.
under an assumed name, the name be-
ing Eddie Kelley" !.
Here the agent produced a tag off
$40 order of yeast assigned to the
missing Mr.. Kelley. Letters address
ed the same name and sent to Pres
cott had not been claimed, he said, al
though the officers had been left IN
the house they rented, at 1O2 North
Mount Vernon street.
Both Ward and Eppley, who are
charged by the federal agents with
having operated the still, are said to
have been in this city for the last year
and to have made many friends. Epp-
ley was married and lived with has
wife and their two children at the
Mount Vernon street address.

ARIZONA WILL NOT ASSIST
CALIFORNIA TO ERECT BRIDGE

Arizona will not assist the officials
of Riverside county, California, in
making a survey of the feasibility of
building a bridge over the Colorado
river at Ehrenburg, Ariz., Governor
George W. P. Hunt announced.
The announcement was in reply to a
request from the board of supervisors
of Riverside county that the state send
an engineer to work with California
engineers in making a survey for the
bridge. State officials stated they
believed the cost to construct a
bridge over the Colorado at Eheren-
burg could be better expended in
building bridge over the Gila river
at the Gillespie dam, in Maricopa
county, Arizona.
Construction of the bridge is part
of project, fostered in Riverside
county, to build a route to California
from Arizona, via Ehrenburg. River
side officials asserted in their request
that ''little can be accomplished on the
proposed route unless Arizona is
willing to cooperate in the construct
ion of the bridge"

ROPING A MOUNTAIN LION
LIVELY WORK FOR COWBOYS

Four men, Roy Nagiller, Arthur
Thomason and Walter Thomason, also
Mr.. White, had quite an experience
last Sunday when just north of Red
Lake mountain they jumped large
mountain lion. The dog gave chase,
the men following on horseback. The
lion took to tree and while the men
were contemplating Just how to get
him alive, the lion leaped from his
height and made off toward taller
timber where he was treed again by
the dog. Again he made his getaway
only to climb bushy pinon tree.
The boys surrounded him and fl
nally succeeded in throwing check
rein over the animals head. While
one of the men stretched the lion to
the saddle horn the other fellow got
a tail hold and thus the fight was
CT. They finally got him tied to a
tree where they left him until Tues
day when they brought him to the
Thomason ranch where he was lodged
