The new timber company which is to be formed in Dunedin, with a capital of £60,000, will absorb four large companies at present carrying on business. A large up-to-date plant is to be erected on a block of land near the wharves. In answer to a question at the Gisborne Borough Council meeting, the Mayor said that before ,the waterworks could be put in proper order it would be .necessary for the ratepay r ers.to be asked to sanction another loan. He added that a rough estimate of the cost of the repairing work was over £BOOO. • " ; ; ' ' The following are the winners of the various trophies at the recent dog trials:—Gaisford Challenge Cup, J.

This morning, our representative had the pleasure of a. ride in the international auto buggy that arrived in Dannevirke yesterday. The buggy, which attracted considerable interest as it p'assed through High-street is built as nearly as possible like an ordinary buggy, and will equal the speed of high-powered automobiles over good roads and paved streets. It is not a car so lavishly finished and high-priced that it is a luxury, but it is a thoroughly dependable car, which can be used for both business—for every-day service, where mileage is money for the driver—and pleasure. This type of vehicle lias" been seen serving both country and town people for years, and there is no reason why a simple motor:' vehicle of this tA'pe cannot serve them in the future. The international auto buggy has all the advantages of the regular buggy. It is furnished with two seats and top, two seats without top, one seat and top, or one seat without top, as the purchaser desires. The rear seat can be removed, making room for eight. The simplicitj' of the motor, accessibility of ail tiie parts, and high wheels with solid rubber tyres, make this car most acceptable to those who are not mechanics and desire a car that will climb steep grades, go through mud and sand, and requires the minimum upkeep of expense. Business and professional men, salesmen, and farmers, -as well as country and town residents, are all interested in a car that will do these things, and in addition they desire one that can be used for shopping, making social calls, . for those pleasures which require a spin over country roads, and one that can be driven by a woman or child. The auto-buggy is at present on view at Messrs Daigety and Co's., the local agents for the International Harvester Trust, who are represented by Mr Jones, as expert.
