he Parker Route.

E. P. Mccarthy, a well known To-
cal real estate man, writing to a
friend, describes the auto road to the
coast via Parker The letter, which
was published in recent issue OF
the Phoenix Republican, says:
There are no bad hills or washes
along the Parker road-in fact you
can make it all on high except few
little washes that don't exceed a
half mile in the aggregate between
Phoenix and Los Angeles The
greatest stretch away from civiliza-
ton is between Winters Wells and
Harrisburg, a distance of so miles.
The road is good there, however, and
you can keep a speed of twenty
miles an hour right along. After
reaching Parker the best and short
est road is to Cadiz. There is plenty
of water along this trip of "a miles.
but no gas at Cadiz. The road is
signed all the way from Buckeye so
there is no chance of getting lost.
From Cadiz west the road is splen-

GERMANS CAPTURE WARSAW

BERLIN, Aug. 5.-The announce
ment says that yesterday and last
night Bavarian troops under Prince
Leopold broke through the outer and
inner defense OF the forts, where the
Russian rear guard made a desperate
resistance.
The German capture OF Warsaw
officially announced at Berlin, marks
the climax OF gigantic German Of
fensive movement begun in a drive
across Galicia.
Interest now centers in the fate of
the Russian armies, which are sup.
posed to have been severa! days re.
treating to a new line.
If Grand Duke Nicholas succeeds
in getting the bulk of the army safely
to this new line of defense it is gem
orally believed that the Germans will
entrench themselves in the captured
territory, releasing enormous forces
for a fresh offensive

A Monsoon"

Tuesday night about ten o'clock,
this vicinity was visited by a verit-
able old monsoon" that would have
done credit to the reputation of the
Dark Continent" for such things.
A black, blanket cloud overspread the
sky, completely hiding the ceru-
lean skinner, while a wind, as
hot as hades at high noon, blew
furious gale. Luckily it lasted but
a short time and was not accompna-
led by the usual dust storm. Things
must have been lively at the Devils
playground" near Barstow, where
great sand dunes swap positions in a
single night, and If the same condi-
tions prevailed there the devil surely
had lots of fun and the people of
that locality a hell of time.
