Death of a Pioneer.

; Yesterday morning this community was ! shocked by the death of Capt. J. C. Potts ! chairman of the board of supervisors oi this county and one of the most highly honored pioneers of the state. Capt Potts i had been stricken with an attack of paral- yss last week, but it was thought no se- rious results would insue, and, although his age was largely against recovery. it was believed that his strong constitution would pull him through. Thursday evening he had sinking spell. and although he ral- lied from it he continued to grow weaker until the end came peacefully at 63O in the morning,
 Capt. John C. Potts was born in the state of Pennsylvania 76 years ago. In early life he and parents emigrated to Nebraska and when the civil war broke out he raised company of volunteers, and at their head as captain joined the northern forces. He was in nearly every battle along the western reserve and was mustered out in 1885. Shortly thereafter he went to Prescott, where he engaged in business pursuits. About the year 1874 he was married to Louise Burke. and removed to Cerbat, then the mining cen- ter of this county. By this marriage he had four daughters and one son, all of whom survive him. During his long resi- dence in this county he held many import ant offices. having been one of the super visors in 1876 and having been twice elect ed to the office of sheriff. He also held the post of chief deputy under many of the other sherifs, and about six years ago was elected supervisor of the county, and was chosen chairman of the board hold ing that position to the day of his death. In and out of office he was honest, capable and conscientious, caring for the affairs of the people as painstakingly as his own. Among the old timers his death will cast a pail of gloom, for in every mining camp his friends among the old boys was legion. 1 To the county of Mohave and the State at large his death will be distinct loss, and to close personal friends his loss will be a heavy blow. To the good wife and children the sympathy of the whole community is extended.
 The funeral will take place from Elks Hall this afternoon at } clock Judge Carl | Hl. Ill lo1..o,- .l D Deming wifi pronounce the benediction The remains will be laid away in the little , cemetery in the sunny land he loved SC well in all the years of his life. May he rest well and may the good God deal gent. ly with his soul

Packard Pathfinders.

Last Monday evening three big Packard cars arrived in Kingman on their way from the coast to Detroit. The cars were in charge of J. G. Vim and Wm. k McCulla, as designer, all from the big plant of the Packard company. Mr. Trego, by the way, is the engineer of the Lincoln Highway association. and is looking over the country in the interest of that assocla- tion. The cars were also Tn charge of three mechanicians and carried a big outfit of camp supplies and necessaries. These cars are being tried out by the company to ascertain their capabili- ties aud will probably go on the mar ket in 1915. They are fitted up with all the latest devices and every new feature that could be added is being tried out.
 Mir. McCulla informed us that not one particle of tire trouble had been encountered on the trip from Detroit to the coast, the front tires of all the cars having the same air that was pumped into them before starting from the shops. Not one tire change had been made on the whole trip, not blowout or puncture having been had. The tires are of new design and from their staying qualities will be placed on the market under big mileage guarantee. They are made by the Goodrich people, and are, we believe. known as the Black Silver thurne tire.
 The trip from Los Angeles to Need- les was made in ten hours running time. From Needles to Topock the machines were shipped on flat cars. From Topock to Yucca the running time was one hour fifteen minutes and from Yucca to Kingman the time was one hour ten minutes, making the run ming time from Los Angeles to King man approximately twelve hours and twenty-five minutes, a distance of about 4l5 miles. Between Goffs and Needles a speed of 55 miles was at tained, which indicates the good con- dition of that road. On the finished portion of the road between Yucca and Kingm an speed of 40 miles an

Conservation Congress.

Last Monday J. D. .2eavis and Os- wald Wilson. of Imperial Valley, passed through Kingman on their way to Denver, where they are to take part in the discussion of the water ways conference at that place. Mir. Reavis was appointed as representa- tive by Gov. Johnson and Mir. Wilson Is representing Imperial valley. He is the publisher of the Victor Valley News. Herald and also the Imperial Nilelander. The gentlemen are ar dent believers in the conservation of the resources of the Colorado river waters and will do all in their power to have the government take up the impending of the waters of the river from it's source to it's mouth by a sys- tem of cams. The subject IS one Of the greatest importance to the people of Utah, Colorado, Arizona and Cali fornia, the states that have land capa. bilitieS second to none on the face of the earth. With the irrigation of irrigable lands in the states of Ari- zona and California made possible by the impoundng of the flood waters of thls great Colorado river from three to ten crops could be raised every year. No other section of the globe could be brought under a greater state of culti- | np,ll tv Df production be found anywhere in the world than here. But this would have to be made possible by the daming of the river to allow the use of the spring flood water the whole year round. The Colorado flows millions of second feet of water during the months of May. June and July that should be impounded and allowed to flow as needed the whole summer through, and not rush with destructive force during the early spring and summer months to the Gulf
 Our government would accomplish fully as much by the conservation of l the waters or the COlOfduO flNer ana that of the Missouri as was done in the building of the Panama canal.
 Secretary Lane is heartily in favor of the conservation of the flood waters of the rivers and will aid greatly in the work.

NEW YORK, Oct It'll a. MI
The ladder which the allies are climb
ing toward Belgium is rather vio-
lently shaken at the base, as French
advance brigades are beginning to
reach the ladders topmost rungs.
Won Kluck's renewed offensive along
the Aise, which has forced the allies
to give ground. has its chief signifi-
canoe as an attempt to frighten the
allies into backing down the ladder.
Won Kluck's smart success is in
dicative of the danger that faces the
allies if they weaken the rest of their
western front in order to throw an
overwhelming force against the Bel
gian boundary. The absence of fur
ther news concerning the movement
of the allies about Arras suggests
Won Kluck has succeeded in halting
the French northern movement
by suddenly and Unexpectedly con-
centrating at the southern end of the
line.
Besides this accomplishment, Won
Kluck has contributed to the safety
of his own retreat if it becomes nee
essary. The main objective point of
the allies north of the Disc is the
important railway junction at Terg-
nier. where connection is establish
ed between the rail communications
of the central German army and Won
Klucks principal railway line of re-
tirement.
Won Kluck apparently has forced
the allies further 20 the west or
Tergnier and has thus increased the
distance between his lines of COM
munication and the enemy. He has
done this too, along the line of the
narrowest lane that runs between the
armies toward Belgium.
Russia's operations in Galicia are
still halted. waiting apparently on
the perfection of plans for the next
offensive after the investment OF era
COW. The development Of the Ber-
lin campaign is the new objective,
but its details must depend largely
on the operations of the German army
in Poland. Reports of the engage
ments being sent from Petrograd are
indicative of the extreme optimism
which warfare seems TO implant In
the usually lethargic Slav.
These descriptions Of ferocious bat
ties are too uniformly followed by
important Russian successes. If they
were true, the Germans should now
be in full retreat, leaving the road
20 Berlin reasonably open. Instead
of this, however, the road 10 Cracow
has not yet been freed.
The truth of these engagements is
that they are no more than recon-
naisances in force. whose principal
objective is to feel out the strength
of the enemy They were duplicated
in Belgium during the opening days
of the German offensive. when retire
ments by German skirmishers prob
ably with the information they had
been sent to secure. were magnified
into important successes for the AL
lies.

RUSSIANS THREATEN
Germans ON NIEMEN
By The United Press.

PETROGRAD. Oct 6.-The Rus
sian armies in pursuit Of the Ger
mans who have been driven from the
Niemen river region are now threat
ening the Germans on their right and
flank. The Germans are reported
here to be occupying their fortified
positions along the border inside of
the East Prussian frontier. Russian
forces, however, are moving to flank
them from the south.
The estimates Of the German cas-
ualties in the series of battles that
extended well down into Russian
Poland continue to grow. They are
now placed at 10000. In addition,
the Russians have captured a large
number of German cannon, which
became mired in the retreat and were
abandoned.
The Russian advance into Galicia
and that Of the Cossack divisions in
to Hungary through the Carpathian
Mountain passes continues. The
movement against Cracow is declar-
ed to be seriously interfered with
by torrential rains and the destruc-
ton of all river bridges by the Aus
trians but it is slowly progressing.

Germans Continue Assault
on AnfWerp's Outer FORTS
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
ANTWERP, Oct 6.-Only the mill
tary forces actively engaged in the de-
Tense of Antwerp are now permitted to
60 to the front Because OF the
danger Of German spies, no persons are
permitted to occupy the spires of the
churches OF the roofs of the tall build
ings. The bombardment of the south
ern and eastern chain of forts con-
tiuues without interval day and night.
RumOrs are current that some of the
forts have been badly damaged. But
the war Office declares that the resist
ance is well maintained. The official
statement issued today said:
"The Germans continue their lombard
ment of the outer ring of forts. They
have utterly failed, however, in their
attempts 20 gain a foothold at any
point. In a series of sorties the garri-
son has inflicted great damage on the
enemy who has now abandoned all et-
forts to carry our positions by storm.
Every single fort and redoubt is hold
ing out"
Despite this optimistic declaration.
however, il is known that the pressure
is becoming so serious that urgent
messages have been sent TO the British
and French general stats asking that
immediate steps be taken to force the
Germans TO raise their siege IL is felt
that Belgium has sacrificed enough in
trying TO check Germany by her own
efforts, and that the allies can now
spare enough fresh troops to undertake
fanking movement in force from the
west coast which would compel the
Germans 20 evacuate Brussels and to-
lift the siege of Antwerp. There is the
more reason il is felt here why this
movement should be instituted because
of the attitude of the Germans toward
Brussels. They are plainly trying TO
find an excuse to destroy the Belgian
capital and their acts of oppression are
causing much friction with the inhah
tants. Brussels was abandoned by the
direct order Of the French general staii
and now that body has been appealed
to to take steps that will force the
Germans out before the city is made al
fiery sacrifice to relentless warfare.
Meanwhile many residents have lett
Antwerp for places Of refuge in HollanI
and England. So far as possible all OF
the vessels leaving, including even the
fishing boats. are carrying non-combat
ants TO neutral territory. II is ox-
planned. however. that this movement
is entirely precautionary.

LONDON, Oct. 6.-The admission
that the Germans have again resumed
the offensive on the east and west
wings of the battle line in France is
causing some apprehension here that
the government may be holding back
important news. This continues in
the face of denials by headquarters
which maintains that whatever
ground was yielded will be regained
when the reinforcements now being
moved reach their new positions.
The explanation given by the crit
les for the great activity of the Ger
mans is that they have discovered
they cannot keep the spirits of their
men up by defensive campaign. So
they are stalking everything in a
series OF blows at the points Of the
battle line that their military aviators
have decided are the weakest Ills

drawals from certain points on the
