ERvIS WRIGHT HOME.
Has Been Touring the Pacide States E and nsx:co.

Ervis E. Wright of Idylwood is home after a tour through the Pacific, states and Mexico. Mir Wright speaks i'll glowing terms of the climate i'll that part of the country and states that if a man cannot make good headway there the fault rests with himself. He bought a handsome residence at Santa Cruz and intends to spend some time there during the winter seasons. After what one has gone through the past four or five months in Waterbury. he feels like digging out when Mr Wright gets through telling about the weather conditions where he spent the winter. Atlany turn of the road he could StOOp down and pick up a rose ill bloom, and While wages are good and lots to do. the mad scramble which we See here every day is nowhere noticeable. Mir Wright says he loves the east and in tends to make it his home as long as he lives, still man who spends all his time ill New England never gets q chance to see the country at its best. He attended bull fight in Mexico, where thousands collected and went wild over the exhibition, but Mir Wright didn't consider it very edify- ing sight and says he never wants to see another The sights he witnessed at railroad stations prompts him to remark that we should have a park at the union station. He met people ev- anywhere who knew Waterbury on ac- count of it's brass, clock and watch in dustries, and now and then he en- countered travellers who made no bones of stating that Waterbury is q delightful town even though 1t has the meanest looking railroad station on the continent.

Governor General vubasoff has taken
vigorous measures to discover con-
cealed arms holding owners OF houses
responsible and ordering the confisca-
tion of a lIproperty where the presence
Of arms or bombs Is disclosed.
The new electoral law was gaxetted

statement explaining that even some
of the western countries do not possess
universal suffrage the cabinet could
not assure the responsibility Of de-
creeing It. The ultimate decision must
be made by the national assembly itself
The election list will be published
forthwith the date of the elections will
then be announced and as soon as the
government receives notification that
half the members are elected the ma
til nal assembly will be convoled The

mated applies especially to the cities.
