TOKATOKA, WHAKAHARA, AND ARAPOHUE.
Our roads are beginning to improve after the last few weeks' One weather. It is 'so be hoped that the bad weather is over, r.k. we have had quite enough of it in bhis dk trict. Ib is a greab shame on the prest Government to neglecb the North as they have done in the past. Nothing would ad! more to their popularity in the North mi. districts than a good substantial grant towards road-making. Where are owr members? They ought to know bhab this is our greab necessity.
Tbe timber industry on the Wairoa is in a very flourishing state at present. A new feature in tbe trade is the conversion of rimu into saleable sizes. A few years Rgo all our many valuable timbers except kanri were completely ignored. Totara was the first to receive attention; then followed kahikatea, the trade of which has developed to enormous proportions. Now follow.1? rimu, and it is bo be regretted that the quantity of this timber is limited. In a few years our growing valuable timbers wi'l be stocked by the mills, and house builders will be afforded the choice of handsome;, marked and varied woods for inside decoration.—(Own Correspondent.)
