Compared with that election, the can

votes more than were polled for Presi-

The heaviest loss is shown by the
Popuiist party. who. with the same can

year than in 1904, when their total
vote was 117.ls3.
The Prohibition candidate. Chafin.
ran 17.2s4 votes behind the 1904 mark
OF his party. and Gilhaus. the Socialist
Labor candidate. received only about

HERDS OF ELK.

Denver-Colorado has been a great
game country, is becoming better
game country and in the future will
be one of the greatest game countries
in the United States. according TO the
reports, predictions and recommends
tions made by ID. +. Farr. state game
and fish commissioner. in his biennial
report submitted to Governor Buch-
tel. Contrary to the general be-
lief. elk. mountain sheep and other
species OF wild game are not almost

ty alone the state game warden is
certain there are several herds of elk.
ranging from $50 to 200 in the herd.
while mountain sheep still exist to
the number of several thousand in the
wilder parts OF the mountains. Five
thousand antelope are reported in the
state.
The report first discloses that the
state game and fish commission has
become selfsupporting institution.
and that all manner OF game has in
creased under protection. Market hunt
ing and game slaughter has been
wiped out There have been IA
persons convicted OF violating the
game laws within the past six months
and these have paid fines aggregating
s. .G5l.CG. an Increase In fines OF 49,
567.13 during 1908. Hunting licenses
to the number OF 1883 have been is
sued in 1905.
In his report. Warden Farr takes
up the several species OF game and re-
ports extensively on each. Best OF
all news to the hunters is that pleas
ants will soon be lawful prey. These
birds are increasing at n rapid rate
and an open season is predicted with
In two or three years. The pheasant
is an iLsectiyorous bird and OF great
value to the farmer. An appropriation
of $1,000 is asked to provide a care
takcr for pheasants and Increase their
numbers.
Another appropriation is asked to

The state warden recommends n
near closed season on deer. stating
that more were killed this year than
for seven or eight years previous. and
that does and fawns were ruthlessly
slaughtered.
1t is advised that further appropria-
tons be made to keep up the fish
hatcheries and also that law be
passed to compel owners OF irrigation
bitches to screen them to prevent trout
getting in and dying there. Bounties
are asked OF the coming Legislature

The Recital a Great Success.

Seldom do the people of Roswell
have the opportunity of attending IN
entertainment such as that rendered
last night at the Presbyterian church
by Miss Vernon Shelley, Miss Pau
line Shelley and Miss Aileen Simp-
son, of Hagerman. 1t was in every
respect a highly pleasing n enter
tanning recital. The ladies of the
church were very fortunate in secur-
ing such talent as was displayed by
the young ladies, Miss Vernon Shell
ley with her pleasing renditions at
the piano, Miss Pauline Shelley with
her delightful readings, and Miss All
cen Simpson with her charming vo-
cal selections. Every selection on the
entire program met with a hearty re-
ception and applause from the appre-
ciative audience, and those present
pronounced it by far the best enter
tainment that has been presented to
a Roswell audience for many months.
1t is to be hoped that the young la
dies will come again.
