DESERT LAND
SALES HALTED.

That results are coming from the
campaign of the El Centre Cham
ber of Commerce against continued
sale of Chocolate Mountain land is
evidenced in a communication re-
ceived by Robert Hays, manager OF
the local chamber, from the Cali
fcrnia Itate real estate depart
ment at Los Angeles, enclosing a
copy of a letter sent by the Los
Angeles Underwriters, who are
holders of several thousand acres
in the Chocolate Mountain area,
Assurance is given to the FL
Centro chamber by the manager
that this holding company will not
continue its sales and has not done
any selling in this area since early
October, 1892 The manager states
that two of his statesmen, last sum-
mer, hent letters in connection with
Chocolate Mountain land, and that
he issued orders against these let
ters in October, none being sent
from his office since.
The FL Centro chamber staff has
waged war on sellers of this worth
less land for a number of years
and has been able, in conjunction
with other organizations such as
the state real estate department
and better business bureaus of var
ious cities, to have sales stopped
in many cases. There seems to be
little effort on the part of opera
tors in Los Angeles to sell this
land any more, although opera
tors are constantly appearing in
eastern cities who have to be stop
ped by the authorities from selling
under Misrepresentation.

N. Y. Stocks
BY ELMER c. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor


NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-A flood
of offerings turned an early de-
cline of moderate proportions into
a rout for the constructive forces
ON the New York stock exchange
today.
Volume increased until tickers
were straining to keep pace.
Prices crashed to points in
stocks; one to points in bonds,
with United States issues particu-
larly weak; l to IL points in bank
stocks; a cent in wheat; more than
rs cents bale in cotton.
The primary cause of selling was
further trouble which today CEN
tered in Maryland where all banks
were closed for holiday of three
days and perhaps more.
The market opened fairly steady.
Losses ranged to point. At first
lack of demand rather than vol
ume of offerings depressed prices.
As the session progressed some sup
port was encountered and around
the end of the first hour prices
were up slightly from the lows.
They failed to hold, however, and
in the second and last hour liqui-
dation developed on large scale
with demoralizing effect on prices
Leading issues quickly broke be-
low the lows made earlier in the
week. -f1YT
The DoW-Jones averages plunged
into new low ground for the year
and were making rapid progress
downward toward the bear market
lows made last July
No group was spared in the de-
cline. Steel common dropped 2
points; American Telephone a. Al
lied Chemical more than 5, and
SO on through the various sections.
Losses were most severe in such
issues as International Business
Machines, American Tobacco B,
American Can, Westinghouse Elec-
trio, General Motors, United Air.
craft, Auburn Automobile, and
Case.
Railroad shares were weak as
were utilities. Losses in each
group ranged to points.
Sales totaled 100000 shares, the
largest Saturday session since Sep
tember 10, 1892, when the total
was 1,498,000 shares A week ago
sales were 304,630 shares.
Dow-Jones preliminary averages
we're at new lows for the year as
follows: Industrial 5096, off 2.88;
railroad 2343, off 1.66; utility 2113,
off LIS. Except for the rail de-
cline these were the widest breaks
of the year.
Aggregate market value of IL
/ leading issues was $4,541 ,636, ,047
against $4,760, ,424,516 yesterday, a
decline of $218,788, ,469.

STYLE CHATS
With ALMA ARCHER

Now up in Harlem, there's a new
dance going on that has licked any
game of shinny you ever saw. BY
some strange artifice and dragging
of the gait. brand new idea of
disordered shuttle tranSpireS. AT
the hasty wind-up of the shuffling
of shifting of the relative position
of the feet, something in the ma
ture of a convulsive shudder or
shiver or tremor attacks the body
somewheres around the collarbone
This delightful, quaking tremble
travels quickly enough down both
spine and front, and the result OF
the two actions-the shuffling plus
the convulsion-is known to Harle-
mites as the Shim-sham- shin
N.Y.. 1t IS too divine to go into
further, but we hope you I'll like it,
and introduce it to your nearest
and dearest friend over the Yule
holidays. Remember to do it as
fast as grease, just like Eve Nor

CHILD STRUCK
BY MOTORIST

Running III front of passing au-

ran out onto the street in the path
of a car travelling east on Adams,
driven by William Conley of Braw-
ley. Conley made the report to po-
lice and the girl was taken to school
apparently suffering little from her
experience.
Another traffic accident was re-
ported to police last night. 1t hap
pened on Main street between Fifth

That the valley team will have

big and fast aggregation of ball
toters and has plenty of reserve
power to carry on.
Shay McKim of the McKim ranch
one of the greatest athletes and
football players at the University Of
California a few years ago will be
on the field for the opening kickoff
of the game to hold the ball.
Much enthusiasm for this game

understood that delegation of over
so fans will be down from Calipat-
ria and other cities of the county
are showing a like interest in this
game which will be the first exhi-
bition of major football in the
county.
