1t is rumored that a daily train will
soon be put on the Chloride branch,
which would be of great benefit to the
people living in the up range section.
w. B. Campbell, who had been TAX
ing the baths at San Jacinto, Calf
ornia, the past month, returned to
Kingman yesterday, looking hale and
hearty.
J. W. Thompson this week departed
to Chicago, where he will join party
of gentlemen on a trip to the Ever
glades of Florida. They will spend
several months hunting and fishing
and expect to have great time.
James Mcconnell returned this week
from the warm springs of Murietta,
California, where he left George Hoyt,
of Gold Road, taking the baths for
rheumatic troubles. Mr.. Hoyt left
here last week on crutches and badly
knocked out with rheumatism.
w. H. Daum, industrial agent of the
Santa Fe, was Kingman visitor last
Wednesday. Mr.. Daum has been look
ing into the big enterprise of the Cot
ton Land Company, in this county,
opposite the Needles, and is of the
opinion that it is one of the greatest
in possibilities of anything in the
territory. Men of ability and high in
the financial world are back of the
project.
George W. Brown, who was the
promoter of several mining concerns
in this county, but whose operations
so far have been unsuccessful, is very
i'll at bis rooms in the Hotel Beale
Mr.. Brown is about ninety years of
age, and the worry incident to in
ability to finance his deals has been
too much for him. His wife has been
sent for and it is probable that she
will arrive today.
w. D. McCright, one of the pioneers
of this county, is here from Signal
looking after matters appertaining to
the patenting of a group of mines.
He reports the death of Mrs. Brooks,
which occurred in Los Angeles the
early part of last month. Mrs. Brooks
was one of the earliest settlers of the
Signal country and had lived there
more than thirty years. She was well
known through the county and was
loved by all who knew her.
Two daily passenger trains have
been placed in commission on the |
Santa Fe, number and 10, for the ac-
commodation of tourist travel. The |
trains now arrive in Kingman as fol- |
lows:From the east-No. l, 4:l0 pm;
No. I, 3:45 p. M: No. 9, las p. M; No.
3, 500 a. m. From the west-No.2, |
10:15 p. ~; No. 4, Hos p. m.; No. s,
10:45 p. m, No. 10, 1885 a. m. This
gives the Santa Fe four through daily |
trains each way, although there is no
change in the matter of convenience
to the public, the trains running each |
way practically on the old schedule
and within an hour of each other.
Had two of the trains passed through |
Kingman on the new schedule in the
middle of the day it would have been
a great convenience to the people of
this county.

PAVING BLOCK OUT OF SHRUB
Marriola, lndcstructlbIe Desert Plant
Of Texas, Found to Be Of Great
Commercial Value.

Austin, Tex.-Another desert plant
In Texas Is found to be of great CON-
mercial value. 1t Is the marriola
shrub. which grows profusely in the
southwestern part Of the state. 1t is
to be used extensively In the manu-
facture of new type OF paving block.
II will be mixed with asphalt after be-
ing reduced to a pulp, the two compo-
nent parts being then subjected to
hydraulic pressure. It is claimed that
the plant Is practically indestructible.
More than 20 years ago irrigation
bitches we're walled with the pulp of
this shrub after II had been subjected
to hand pressure, and these water
ways are as perfect today as when
they were first constructed. 1t Is
claimed.
The manufacture of the new style
of paving blocks from marriola and
asphalt will be conducted by z. W.
Cannon of San Antonio. He has Just
entered into contract with the state
Of Texas for the purchase Of all the
marriola growing upon the public
lands in Preside and Brewster coun.
ties for $1,000.
1t has been known for some time
that the marriola shrub contains
considerable per cent. of rubber. I'm

Der from the guyaule shrub 1t was not
found profitable to utilize the mar
riola shrub for this purpose, but re-
cent discovery has been made In Mex
leo for extracting the rubber from
these shrubs by which II is claimed
the marriola can be made to yield
very profitable returns.

to go before the people on his merits.
During his canvass he has been Of

the opposing candidate. He not
only turned them down, but refused
to allow his friends to use them, be-
lieving that instead of their acting as
a boom, they would be a boomerang,
hurting the men using these tactics.
His relatives have always been re-

he came in the fold, he announced

Leon Baumgartner, a registered OPP
tometrist, was in the city recently en-
gagged in the work of selling eye glasses
and sold quite q number TO customers
here in the city. Mr.. Baumgartner has
certificate of registration from the
state board which entities him TO sell
glasses as professional optometrist,
but clause in the law prohibits him
from selling or giving away any medi-
cines of any nature for the treatment
of the eyes, unless he is registered
physician.
Mr.. Baumgartner has trouble with
his eyes and carries with him an eve
otion for the treatment of his own eyes
and while travelling about the city
found some cases similar 10 his own.
and in few cases gave his customers
a little of the remedy which he used,
not charging for it, The fact that he
had given away medicine was found
against him and he was brought to this
city by Officer Webster, who arrested
him in Flint on warrant issued out
of Justice Spencer's court. While he
violated the law by giving away the
medicine, he did not try TO dupe any
one and when he told his story TO the

John J. Green a Candidate

John J. Green's friends have Leen
urging him to make a canvass for the
nomination for county clerk on the
republican ticket for some time past.
In order to prove that there was a
general sentiment in his favor some
Of them started to circulate petitions
for his candidacy in different parts OF
the county as early as March last,
and met with most gratifying results.
They realize that il will take a man
who Is not only well known, but who
is we'll liked and must be qualified.
Mr.. Green is all this and more. He
has lived all his life in this county
and is known to be thorough, pains
taking and honorable in his duties,
whether they be public or private.
During the first Bryan campaign
he was elected county clerk on the
democratic ticket, served one term
but went down TO defeat with the rest
OF his ticket in 1898. He was OPP
posed by Lieut.. Lawless, who came
home from Cuba during the war with
Spain. Mr.. Lawless was in Grip
pied condition which fact appealed
to the sympathies Of the people. The
republicans main effort during that
campaign was to defeat Green, be-
lieving that the rest Of the ticket was
safe.
In spite of this strenuous opposi-
ton. MIR. Green led his ticket and
while the county went strongly re-
publican, he was defeated by mar
row margin. Whenever he has re-

CAPTURE A MONSTER TURTLE
Rhode Island Students Secure One Of
the Largest Fresh Water Rep
tiles Ever Caught.

Providence, r. Three students
of the Rhode Island Agricultural col
lege the other day captured In Thirty
Acre lake one of the largest fresh wa
ter turtles ever seen In this state.
The turtle weighs go pounds and
measures three feet across. It's neck
is four inches through and In snap
three inches. Four large fangs that
would do credit to a bulldog grow
In the jaw.
The students 8. III. Cabot and l.. II.
Herresnoff, OF Bristol. and A. l.. Thorn
ley Of Pawtucket, were crossing the
lake in a canoe. Reaching stream
which serves as an outlet to the lake
they skirted down 1t, when a large
head emerged from the reeds and at
tracted their attention. One of the
boys seized a paddle and punched at
the head. What looked like a canoe
bottom came to the surface and the
paddle was seized by the turtle. The
jaws closed on II, there was a crunch
ing sound and the paddle fell in two
pieces.
The sudden release caused the
canoe to overturn and the three stu
dents were In water and mud well
over their heads. The turtle was
right in their midst and was so bad
ly frightened that 1t made for shore,
with the boys following. When all
came to shallow water the turtle was
pried out Of the mud and taken home
to verify the extraordinary adventure.
Professor Barlow of the college ZOO
logical department saw the reptile
and said 1t was by far the largest Of
Its kind he has ever seen. He also
said that 1t probably is OF great age
and thought that It must have seen
the great swamp first in 1915.

that the 500 candidate was not their
personal choice and several others
announced that they were taking no

that Osborn will carry these counties,
in their opinion, that he had gained
too great Roadway to be beaten.
Some bright, unnamed philosopher
who takes a rosy view of life, gets off
the following:

ing is high, but they might try dy-
ing live man gets shaved for 10
Gets, but dead one pays dollar

plants potatoes for 20 cents an hour,
but for planting you he gets four
times as much. A carriage to the
theater costs 50, but one TO the ceme-
terry costs SIS. A saloon keeper
will fill your hide to bursting for so
cents, but an embalmer gets $3.50
for the job. Come to think of it.,
