T<HE HOTEL BELLECLAIRE \ appeals especially to what
 may be called semi transient visitors: people who desire, for a week or a fortnight or month, the comforts, conveniences and advantages of New York's great modern hotels, but who wish to avoid some of the noise, the hustle and the expense that are ineyi- table iii an extended visit. For such people THE BELLECLAIRE has furnished suites of one, two or three rooms and bath, which may be occupied at reasonable rates for shorter or longer periods.

Closing the Game Season.
House committee has a new game law
before it. No open season for elk.

The committee has held number
of sessions and it is determined to
make several changes in the laws
that are of interest to about every cit
izen Of Colorado. BC
Elk are to be put in the permanent
ly closed season and possibly deer
and antelope. II the season is not
permanently closed on deer and ante
lope it will be open SO shOrta time that
it will amount practically to closed
season. The season will not be op-
ened on mountain sheep.
There will be general changes In the
open season on all big game, with Il
view Of thoroughly protecting game.
Laws, too, will be changed so that
they can be enforced, and new one
will be the change Of venue law,
urged by Game commissioner Harris
of Gov. Orman's day. This law per-
mits of appeal from lower court de-
cisions and the removal Of cases.
Heretofore, it is claimed, violators OF
game laws have been acquitted be-
cause their juries or judges were
themselves violators.
More stringent laws are to be-
passed to protect streams from pollu-

Obituary..

Mr.. H. C. Roberts was shot dead
by Felix Crunk In J. M. Walsh's So
loon Jan. q, and buried In the
Rangely cemetery Jan. 81, 1903.
The deceased WAS a young man,
just in the prime Of life. He came to
Rangely five years ago and had re-
sided here ever since. His folks live
at Delta, Colorado; but on account OF
some unknown cause, none of them
were able to come to the interment.
Almost the entire population OF
the valley was at the funeral Mrs.
Fred Carnahan led in Scripture read
ing and prayer at the grave. Beau
tiful floral decorations were pre-
sented at the grave by the many
friends Of Mr.. Roberts.
The pail bearers were J. w. Rector
and J. C. Freedle, Frank Everly and

Another Man Joins the Ranks.

Leo Vincent, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the peoples
party, in recent letter addressed to
Honorable Milton Smith, chairman
Of the democratic state central COM
mittee, states that he has joined the
democratic ranks.
He gives as the main reason for
this change. the royal manner in
which the democrats redeemed their
pledge by returning Senator Teller
to his seat in the United States sem
ate and thus defeating Wolcott.
In speaking of the recent fight he
says:
DAY by day and hour by hour i
watched the democratic majority in
Joint assembly, and closer watched
the several who might aspire to a
seat in the nations highest council,
and at last have seen the demo-
Gratis to man stand firm for the
pledge of the party, and in the face
Of all the corrupting influences known
to modern knavery; under the most
trying conditions it is possible for
mind to picture; where the possess
sion of the senate chamber had to be
held against the intimidation of
hired, armed thugs; where continu-
GUS session, day and night, for days
was necessary to secure the presence
Of a majority; at last, cast the unani-
h., ~ ~, n Il ,,,, Doro = In m nhara
Of the house and senate for the
Grand Old Man Of Colorado'-Sena-
tor Teller. Their most sacred pledge
has been redeemed.
s.None Of us in the height Of our
widest campaign charges against the
republicans have ever approached
the extremes to which we have seen
them go during the past two weeks
in their desperate effort to elect VOL
colt or to force no election, with the
disgrace for the defeat of Teller rest
ing on the democrats. The republic
cans sent Wolcott out of the state
during the campaign In order to give
color to their denial that he was the
leading republican candidate for the
senate. No sooner were they success
full in the state than he returns and
takes charge In his determination to
regain seat In the senate. Had not
the leading republican paper in the
state espoused his cause, and had not
the party deposed the chairman OF
their state central committee for his
opposition to Wolcott, there would
be reason for their suggestion that
wolcott was an unwelcome candi-
date. But when Wolcott is to-day in
possession of the party machinery,

Lying Papers.

In writing to q democratic friend
here, Repl esentative Lyttle throws
some light on recent events at the
state capitol. A few paragraphs are
as follows:
III you were to believe some Of the
Denver papers, you naturally arrive
at the conclusion that the democratic
leaders (or some of them, as alleged)
were not true to Senator Teller In the
recent senatorial fight. Nothing
could be farther from the actual truth
than such u conclusion.
II was on the inside from start to
finish OF the late fight, and the facts
are: Ex-Governor Thomas, Ex-GOv-
ernor Adams, Hon. c. J. Hughes and
Senator Patterson did everything
possible to secure the election of Sem
ator Teller. They pointed to the
democratic state platform, which en-
tiorsed Senator Teller for reelection,
and urged that 1t was the imperative
duty or all members Of the party In
both houses to carry out the platform
pledges to the letter, and therein ever
was any hesitancy on the part Of the
large majority of the democratic
members In carrying out this course
of action. Their minds were made
up at the start and they never shrank
from a aperformanceo of duty they owed
the party rs well as Senator Teller.
sIt's true, two democratic members
of the house and one in the senate
acted In manner calculated to
arouse suspicion, but we no sooner
found this out than we took stringent
measures to bring the obstreperous
ones to time.
.sThere are democrats In the state
who by long services and personal
sacrifices in the interests of the party,
were more entitled to the senatorial
honor than Teller, but all of these
men laid aside their claims and unit
ed enthusiastically in support of the
man endorsed by the democratic
state convention, thus carrying out
the pledge we went before the people
on Inst fall, namely-the return of
Senator Teller to the national con-
gress.
$50 don't take any stock In any,
thing you may have seen lately in
certain Denver papers relative to
democratic leaders not being true to
Teller.
..In conclusion, want to inform
you that never In the history Of the
,Ga1asaao democracy was the party
