GuLLETTE's FAMILY.

! Denver, Dec. 3.-Living in tho
dingy second story of small cottag,
on the north side the family of Ches'
ter Gillette. who is now on trial al
Herkimer. y v, for the murder o!
his sweetheart, Grace Brown, has
been located in Denver after a long
search extending over several
months. MIR. and Mrs. Gillette, with
their II-year-old daughter Lucille,
and son, Paul, have been i'm their
present quarters, which are nothing
more than an attic, apparently en-
dcavoring to keep their whereabouts
secret.
The little group are heart-broken
over the affair of their son and broth
er and refuse TO give their opinion
as to the probable result of the trial.
Mrs. Gillette today pleaded that the
matter not be given further publicity.
She said they had come to Denver in
an effort to keep from being found,
because they were not situated finan-
cially TO lend assistance to their un-
fortunate son.

Judge Shackleford. the newly
elected district judge of this dist
rict, has had a good deal of worry
over the appointment of clerk of the
district court of Ouray county. Twen-
ty-one people have made application
for the place, ten men and eleven
women. They represent the two fac
tlons of the ouray county Republic
cans and shackleford is undecided
from which faction to choose.
The official canvass of the vote cast
in the recent Colorado state election
shows that Judge Charles F. Caswell,
of this city, Republican candidate for
supreme court Justice, polled a larg-
er vote throughout the state than
any man on the Republican ticket
He received total of 1O2,997. This
was over 10000 votes more than
Buchtel, the head of the ticket poll
ed Judge Caswell ran around 5000
votes ahead of Gabbert. the other
Republican candidate. His plural
ity above others of the Democratic
nominees for supreme court just
ice was over 10000. 1t moght be
said here that Buchtel ran far behind
every other man on the Republican
state ticket.
Theodore Roosevelt-A man
(thank God for one in this day of
cowards,) has again raised q rum
pus. Whether you like what this
man does or not, on one thing you
can bet. and that is that he is doing
what he believes right. When Roose-
welt lunched with Booker Washington
storm of protest arose that he was
trying to curry favor with the color
ed vote. Now. when he discharges
from the service they disgraced, a
regiment of colored soldiers, he is ac-
cused of seeking favor of the negro
haters But the simple truth of the
matter is that this man knows net-
ther race nor color. He has done what
he believes to be his duty merely be-
cause he thinks It is right, and the
policy of his course, like the disap-
provaI of his constituents has but lit
tie weight with him. We have but
one criticism to make of Theodore
Roosevelt, the man, and that is that
he does not call himself what we
know him, by his life. to be-A

A POINTED ILLUSTRATION.

Ten years afo a farmer put his in
itials on a dollar. went to town and
spent with n merchant. Before the
year was out he got the dollar back.
Four times in six years the dollar
came back to him for produce and
three times he heard of it in the
pockets of his neighbors.
The last time he got it four years
ago, he sent it to a mail order house.
He has not seen that dollar since and
never will. That dollar will not pay
any more school or road tax from him
will never build up any or brighten
the homes of the community. He sent
it entirely out of the circle of useful
ness to himself.

THE NEW MEN
Every Section of the District Well
Represented on Newly Elect
ed Board of Directors of
Grand Valley Irri-
cation co.
CATION q

1t was a late hour Saturday after
noon when the work of balloting for
the new board of directors of the
Grand Valley Irrigation company. was
completed at the court house by the
stockholders of the association.
1t was nine o'clock in the evening
before the result of the election was
known as it took much time to check
up the various proxies voted.
Out of the seventeen men nomlnat-
ed the following gentlemen were
elected to serve as directors for the
year:
W. c. Cartmell. B. F. Hughes. A.
r. Wells, d. F. Strain. w. c. Nc
Curdy. c. Brett. John Schoepfie.
Horace T. DeLong, James b. Hunter
The new board is an exceptionally
strong one and will doubtless prove
very satisfactory to the great major
lty of the stockholders. Practically
every section of the district is well
represented, the lower valley has as
many representatives on the board
as the Grand Junction section, Sec
retary Wallace states that each por-
tion of the district is more fully rep
resented on the new board than any
ever elected in the past.
The following is the vote of each
of the seventeen candidates nominat-
ed, placed in the order of their
strength in the election.

CURIOUS MEAT MARKET IN ALASKA
Carcasses Are Allowed to Freeze Solid and
Keep Several Months

Winnipeg Dec 16 CSpeciaD.-A recent arrival here
from Alaska tells OF the wonders TO be seen at
Fairbanks. town the Chelena River, in the
rich Tanana district. 1t lies almost within the
fines of the Arctic Circle, and is usual in the
Yukon, the average temperature during the winter
months is 10 below zero. with exceptional drop
TO low 20 below, but the latter mark is ex-
tremey The Fairbanks market operates
only during the winter months, and consequently
such expenses icebOXes and refrigerator cars
unheard of. Every animal brought in for sale
is frozen solid and. owing 10 the low temperature
remains in this condition for months time
The carcasses are stood up their legs in the
market and a customer can at a glance whether
the butcher has any particular kind of meat in
stock. One may enter the market and order
roast from one particular bear which has stood in
the Identical spot for months In another corner a
moose stands though in life. with here and
there ordinary barnyard COW. but this variety
Of meat IS scarce even in Fairbanks Every animal
in this butchers shop has the appearance of life
and any going in for the first time is apt TO
imagine he is in some barnyard where all animals
are grouped together in the most friendly manner
possible.
The butcher attracts attention TO his market by
placing the carcass of some animal outside his
place OF business in much the way cigar
dealers place a wooden Indian outside their door.
