Unless some change is made in the present game laws it will not be long before deer are extinct in the western counties of Colorado, says J. B. Grif fltn, a New Castle ranchman. A few years ago Garfield and surrounding counties were overrun with the ani mats to such an extent that farmers were forced to build barbed wire fenoes around their produce patches to save them from destruction. Now the deer In that section are very few, and a less number were taken out by the hunters this season than tn any season I have known there. The trouble is simply that there is no increase. The game laws provide that bucks with horns, even though they may be only spikes, may be killed, but that the does must be saved. In consequence, it is no un usual thing to run across a band ef six or eight does, not one of which has fawned, while a good buck is not seen by our cowboys once a week. The bucks have alrendy been hunted almost to extinction, and Another year or two of the present system will make it necessary for the state to colonize the animals under a closed season law in order to preserve them at all. An amendment allow ing neither does or bucks to be killed for a season or two would decdedly assist in solving the question.—Yam pa Leader. Need a shirt waist? Thought so. Just received a ifew lot at Old lands’. Episcopal Church Service. St James Episcopal church ser vices will be held tomorrow (the first Sunday in Advent) as follows: 11 a. m.—morning prayer and ser mon. 12 m.—holy communion. 4 p. m.—service for the young. 7:30 p. m.—evening service and ser mon. lon. m.—Suudiir school. What Others Say. Peabody would have been n worse lieaten man than Parker, had it *not been for Roosevelt.—Rifle Telegram. Dr. B. L. Jefferson will continue to represent tills county In the state senate—good man, too.—Grand County News. Barela flopped to defeat and there Is much rejoicing thereat. The Chinese flip-flop is not a valuable po litical asset to any party. Decency and honesty will prevail tn the end.— Rifle Reveille. Bets on the election were made in Rifle even as late as 10 or 11 o’clock on election night. Peabody money was much in evidence. Among the losers are C. C. Compton, W. R. Lee and Geo. A. Clark.—Rifle Ruveillo. In every election to some must come defeat and to some victory. The philosophical man will accept without question the decision of the voters, for to them our system of government gives the final voice.— Steamboat Pilot. Although Peabody is defeated, the taxpayers will continue to “dig up” for his extravagances for sometime to come. The sum of $4610 was paid members of Troop D, In one pay roll, for services in the field. The money for the horse hire is expected In soon. —Rifle Telegram. Peabody had » chance to find out how the people of Colorado view his policy, anyhow’. Two wrongs never did make a right, and while the union was carrying things with too high a hand It did not justify the ex treme and unlawful measures adopted by Governor Peabody. Even handed justice should be meted out to both capital and labor.—Steamboat Pilot. There is certainly something wrong with the Democratic party when they can’t elect an editor to office. There was Cliah. Leckenby and James Lyttle, two good Democratic editors, and neither one got farther than second base. They were on the wrong side of the fence to be in the procession.—Yainpa Leader. Oh, yes; we got as far as third; and will cross the home plate next time. A Word to Ranchmen.—Are you aware that if you have any business correspondence at all, and there are but few of you who have not, it will pay you to use printed stationery. If you use a printed letterhead the peo ple you write to will think you amount to considerable whether you do or not Come in and ask the Courier for its prices. You will find it cheaper than buying tablets and envelopes by the package.—Craig Courier. The boiler, tubing and much other material used by the company which several years ago bored for oil on the Milner ranch between Pool and Hay den, was taken through Yampa last week, on its way to the railroad to be shipped to Florence. The material is being taken back by the Oil Well Supply company, which was unable to collect the price of the material. The drillers never struck oil, their material playing out before they reached any considerable depth. The Indications for petroleum are ex cellent in that neighborhood.—Yam pa Leader. The re-organizers did not re-organ ise. The rank and file of Democracy have learned a lesson and the people will dominate the party four years hence. Progress and honesty are the Issues which must be adopted by the party In order to win, and these com bined with the safe, sane economic reputation now reposed In it, should place the party in a position to mould the destiny of our country. Roose velt is impetuous and will probably make many grave orrors, so that in four years from now the mass of the voters will welcome a change to calm, logic, judicious administration.— Rifle Telegram.

Considerable discussion has been brought about during the last week by the rumor that the Meeker school building whs in an unsafe condition, owing to the trenching that was be ing done in order to put in the piping for the new heating plant. A number of parents, not knowing the exact conditions, and fearing for the safety of their children, have kept them out of school. For the purpose of satisfying these parents, the board of the district, on Saturday vtst, appointed the follow ing committee to examine into the safety of the building: F. E. Sheri dan, Major Lord, C. E. Dolph, T. H. lies, G. W. Knowles and J. D. Mil ler. These gentlemen, after a thor ough examination of the foundation, trenches, etc., gave It as there opin ion that there was no danger of the building, or Its foundations giving way. Extra precautions have how ever been taken to prevent any pos sible anxiety by putting in additional braces and a retaining wall under neath the building. The work under thfcadildingisnow practically completed, and the board earnestly hopes that the parents of school district No. I, will not allow any unfounded or malicious rumors to prevent them from giving their children the benefit of every day of school possible this year.

Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Durban, Natal, South Africa, says: “As a proof that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is u cure suitable for old and young, I pen you the follow ing: A neighbor of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it. I suggest ed that if they would get a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and put some upon the kunnny teat the baby was sucking it would no doubt cure the child. This they did and brought about u quick relief and cured the baby.’” This remedy is for sale by all druggists. Favorite Home Paper. Why the Twice-a-week Republic has achieved wide popularity.
