THE NEW WESTMINSTER SHOW.

da from the United States, on our
way from Seattle to New Westmin-
ster, B. c., on Tuesday afternoon, and
speeding along l could not help but
hear the frequent ejaculation, How
much better the roads are on this side
than on ours!" "Why?" was the
thought that would not down, as there
is no apparent good reason for this
difference which if it exists at all
should appear in our favor, as we
have a far larger population, relative
ly, than our cousins on father side.
When the train stopped to go no
more, we saw the great bridge COM
mencing to be built across the Frazer
giant dredges doing the work of
many men in founding the great piers
that are to hold the superstructure
for rail and wagon roads, thus bring
ing the great corporation of Uncle
Sam to lock horns with the Canadian
Pacific at it's Vancouver and Victoria
termini. Does this mean war or
peace? The unification of earth's
grandest nations or their irretriev-
able separation? Surely these weap-
ons of industry will lead to general
good will New Westminster is
clean, quiet town, it has excellent
improvements since the fire, many
imposing brick and stone structures
grace it's Clean mostly we'll graded
streets. The public utilities are of an
advanced kind, and comprise fine mu-
nicipal buildings, including very ex
cellent fire hall. To these we may
add a first class river ferry, public
market and municipal electric light
and power plant and water works.
However, the provincial fair is New
Westminster's pride, and glory, and
for 359 days in the year some heads
in this quiet burg are planning how
to make the remaining six days of
show time complete success. This
year the manager of the show had,
very wisely, catered to the whims of
the weather clerk, so that dignitary
smiled on them with that radiance
which only the Pacific coast has wit
messed. Bathed in sunlight lay the
landscape, but no heat dismayed us,
and as we read of the boys in Kansas
playing at wars gruesome game
midst sleet and rain and wind and
all things cold and wet and nasty, we
took in still greater amount of sat
isfaction from the evidence of agri-
cultural activity all around us minis
tering to human comfort under cir
cumstances so fortuitous. From the
river up to Queens Park is a pleas
ant walk past many beautiful homes,
often surrounded by fine lawns and
the most beautiful variety of trees,
plants, shrubbery and flowers; the
glowing tints of Autumn lent en-
chantment to the view, which the
background of forest and mountain
skirting the noble Fraser river-set
off to perfection. The park itself is
well adapted for exhibition purposes,
containing many excellent convenien-
ces. A nice race track, we'll provided
with grandstand and bleachers, sur
rounds an excellent lawn for playing

DROP COLONIZATION CRY.
PRIMARY LAW ALLOWS MUCH LATI-
TUDE TO VOTERS.
AGAINST NOTARIES IF HE FINDS SUF-
FICIENT EVIDENCE OF FRAUD.

ldE AIIORNEf WILL tItOCEE1D
AGAINST NoTARIEs IF HE FINDS sUF-
FICIENT EVIDENCE OF FRAUD.
The great hue and cry that went up among
the Democratic district leaders few days ago
has begun to die out. The triumvirs, who pre-
tended that they had set foot investiga-
tion which would probably result in wholesale
arrests and prosecutions of those responsible for
primary frauds, have apparently dropped the
subject. The triumvirs, it is believed, will not
meet again. AT the last meeting they adjourned
subject to the call of Sport Murphy, and 1t is
understood that this call will never be issued.
District Attorney Jerome admitted yesterday
that he could not see his way clear to prosecute
the supposed Coonizers The primary election
law gives the voter extraordinary privileges
Any voter may move from one election or As
sembly district to another any time up to thirty
days before the primary election This feature
of the law is taken advantage of by the district
leaders. For instance. John c. Sheehan is hav-
ing the fight of his life in the IXth District.
whereas the Greater New-York Democracy lead
ers in some of the other districts have no
chance of winning. The latter could send many
or their supporters into the IXth District to
help out the Sheehan ticket. This is perfectly
layman TO be colonizng pure and simple.
Il have been waiting for to bring
these charges officially before me- said the
District Attorney yesterday. Il have heard all
about the colonizing in the IXth XXVIth and
XH1Xth districts but it would not be proper
for me to take the initiative in such cases"
Mr.. Jerome communicated yesterday with DR..
Lederle, of the Health Department, and made
an appointment to talk the primary fraud
charges. Mr.. Jerome believes that 1t may be
possible to proceed against the colonizers for
a violation Of the lodging house clause of the
Tenement House law.
The District Attorney may be able to bring
about the arrest and conviction of a few Of the
notarfes and commissioners Of deeds who were
employed by the district leaders just prior TO
the last day for transferring. 1t has been the
custom of the leaders have appointed 3
notaries or commissioners lieutenants. whose
duty ii is to remain at the district headquarters
and certify TO all the applications for enrol
ment and transfer that come before them. 1t
Is said that some of these notaries and COM
missioners have signed many of the
blanks President Voorhis of the Board of
Elections says that many of the blanks appear
70 have been filled out entirely by the commits
soners of deeds.
IF I fird sufficient evidence against notaries
or commissioners who certified to fraudulent
Names" said Mr.. jerome, Il shall proceed
against them. The offence is a misdemeanor.
and the offender may be sentenced to a years
imprisonment and fined $500"
