There are two first-class hotels in Bel
field. The Nelson Hotel is an up-to-datc
steam heated, European hotel with good
rooms and an up-to-date proprietor. Try
it and see if you do not come back.
The new Imperial hotel was built in
1906 by James A. Erslick, who ran this
popular ho'el until the fall OF 1879 when
Mr.. w. A.. Mosher its present proprietor
bought the establishment. Mr.. Mosler
is an all around hotel man. Scoop says
says Bert is the best fellow that he ever
met and that the stakes are man size
at MOsher's. Give this place a trial and
it will be your Eelfield headquarters ever
afterwards.
One of the main factors in the develop
ment of a city is a live newspaper, a
sheet that will tell the citizens what they
need and tell the newcomers what advan-
tages the city has to offer. Belfield has
such a paper in the Times. The editor
OF this paper has the support of all tho
people of Belfield. The success of tho
! Belfield Times is a certainty.
