GENERAL NEWS.

The auction announcements of H. Matson and Co., New Zealand Farmers' Co-op-. Dalgety anc J Co., Charles Clark, and R- JVlcKcnzie and Co. will be found on page 15 of this issue. The telegraph office advises that soldiers' telegrams at ordinary deferred or E.E.M. rates may be accepted via Easterii addressed to Mudros or to Saloniea. The E.l'.M. rate is the same as to Egypt. At a meeting of the Southland Land Board on Thursday the Commissioner pi r H. D- Hasaard) drew the attention of the Board to the discretionary powers vested in it under section 60 of the Land Act, 1908, and suggested that such power might be used to exclude from ballots, etc., during the period of the war, all single men of military age who are unable to produce evidence of reicction for service by the military authorities. The "Southland Times'' says the suggestion met with the unanimous approval of the Board and it is to be carried out.

The -rc-laving of a portion of the Opawa tramline with heavier rails is being delayed owing to the non-arrival of the rails. The secretary of the General Labourers' Union reports a temporary shortage of men, due to members of the union being away harvesting and grassseeding. At present, work is awaiting about twelve men, who are wanted for concrete and nick and shovel work. Assistance of a practical charcter is being given to met) who have enlisted and to returned soldiers by the General Labourers' Union, which is issuing freo tickets of membership to men who take up work covered by the general labourers' award for the period they are employed on such work. An important decision has been reached by the school teachers in Queensland, who, at a conference last week, adopted the following motion: "That the" time has now arrived for tho teachers of Queensland to register their union as a union under the Arbitration Act. to enable them to improve their present unsatisfactory conditions as regards salary.'' A rccent visitor to the Maori training camp at Narrow Neck, Auckland, states that some difficulty is being experienced in feeding the native recruits from the SouUi Sea Islands, the food being totally different from what they have been accustomed to in the islands. In one case a party of now arrivals, oil being served with roast beef, potatoes, and rice pudding, mixed the whole lot together and then poured their tea over the mixture. Very fow of the Islanders can speak English. Notification is contained in the "Mercantile Gazette" of the registration of Hutchison's Scales (Australasia), Ltd. Capital. £1-1,000, in 28.000 shares of 10s each. Subscribers: Christchurch — C. B. Cogan, W. I. Ward, G. F. T. Rowc, and H. B. Low, 100 shares e>ach ; A. J. Wintle, J. W. Batie, and A. G. T. iSymons, ono share each. Objects: To carry on j.n the Dominion of New Zealand and the Commonwealth of Australia and olsewhere the business of mechanical engineers and manufacturers of scales, agricultural implements, etc. Few records can beat that of the New Zealand Rugby football team which visited Australia in 1913 (says the Wellington "Post"). There were oightcen in the party, including the manager, and fourteen are already at the front or on their way there. The manager proposes to make the full team —fifteen. The remaining three are said to be likely to be wearing khaki very soon. The manager of the team was Mr W. Perry, a Wellington solicitor, who was a member "of both the New Zealand Rugby Union and the Wellington Rugby l r nion, and is now a member of the Eastbourne Borough' Council. Residents of Wellington are again reminded of. the danger of entering the Defence Reserve at Fort Dorset (says the "Dominion"). On Wednesday afternoon two ladios (one a visitor to Wellington) asked permission of a soldier if they might" enter the reserve. The answer being in the affirmative, they entered and sat down in the shatle. Shortly after a rifle shot broke the stillness of the air, and landed uncomfortably close. This shot did not startle the ladies in the least, but. when a second and third camo along in ouiek succession the ladies beat a hurried .retreat. They were indignant at being fired at. but as there are notices -posted around, tho ladies should not have entered the reserve without the permission of the officer-in-charge. This may serve as a warning to the general public. Trade generally continues remarkably good (says' the "Trade Review" in discussing the state of tho import market). On all hands an excellent Christmas trade was done. generally the turnover has been weli maintained since then. In some quarters it is reported that, though busy, the buying is on a somewhat smaller scale. The old difficulty in getting supplies still prevails, chiefly in metal The freight question is becoming serious, both for imports and exports. There is considerable difficulty in obtaining sufficient space, and rates have been raised to an exorbitant figure. The rates from America are ouoted at £8 nor ton on lines that used to rule at 25s to 30.?, while rates from England rnlo £3 to £4. Importers have been compelled to withhold their orders for many lines at present, owing to these high rates. During the big strike in Auckland a young man from Te Awamutu enlisted in tho "specials." Towards tho end of the strike he was taken seriously ill, and was sent to hospital. Before his recovery tho strike ended, and when ho left the hospital aad returned to camp he found that the horse he left in camp had been stolen. He tried to trace tho horse for a long time, but was unsuccessful, and finally gave up the search. He received no compensation whatever. When the Avar broke out he enlisted, and, al'tor training for some time in New Zealand, went to Egypt. Strange as it may seem, it is perfectly true that ono day, while strolling along the lines, he discovered the horse lie lost in New Zealand. He recognised tho animal immediately, and ho is positive the horse recognised him. This, writes a correspondent to the Auckland "Star," is absolutely true, and can bo verified.

There is said to be a possibility that the uniform worn b3' tramway men in Christchureh will be changed from blue to dark grey. Consequent on tho difficulty of obtaining indigo dye, supplies of which have hitherto come from Germany, tho price of bluj> material threatens to go up and, consequently, .1 cheaper material will, probably, have to be selected. The Tramway Board is at present calling tenders for uniforms, but it is understood that considerable difficulty is being experienced in obtaining material, consequent on the military authorities having commandeered practically 75 per cent, of the output of the Dominion's woollen mills for khaki. In view of the higher cost of blue material, tho Board is calling for alternative tenders for uniforms to be made of-dark grey material. If this is decided upon, a suggestion has been made that there should be a strip of red cord down the scams of the trousers and two plain red cords at the top and bottom of the coat collar. Such a uniform. it is thought, would be quite as effective as the present blue one.

It was an cxcited and irate parent who runhed into the office of the .Registrar of Marriages yesterday morning (says Wednesday's Gisborne "Herald") to stop the marriage of liis seventeen-year-o!d daughter, and his feelings wero changed to surprise and indignation when he was met short!" afterwards l»y the would-be husband, who ss».id: "Von beat me that time, old chap." and nonchalantly offered to shako hands on the situation. It appears the father heard yesterday morning that his daughter was to be married within twenty minutes. He lost no time in reaching the registrar's office, where lie found, it is alleged, that a declaration had been made that the girl's parents wore both dead. Apparently the man desiring to join tho ranks of the benedicts had seen the parent enter the registrar's office, for neither he nor the girl turned up at the appointed hour, but the man. who is said to be about 40 years of age, subsequently met the father and opened the conversation in the manner stated above. The parent ignored the oroffered hand. And the man is said to declared with an air of triumph: "Well. I've got your daughter, anyway, and neither pou nor the police can find her.'' The father and mother naturally became auxins about their daughter, pnd their feelings grew into plarm when tbe girl failed to return home last '•irriit. The police now have the matter in hand.

The Telegraph Office advised yestcrday that. the \\ aimakariri North, Opihi, and Waitaki rivers wore clear, and the »» ».'- makariri tjout-h, lJangitata, and Rakaia rivers dirty. The Citizens' Defence Corps, who art as Christchurch agents, for the Government. Discharged Soldiers' Liinploj mont Bureau, require temporary employment for recruits, and permanent employment for discharged soldiers. In connexion with the garden fete to bo held in the Hospital grounds this afternoon on behalf of the Soldiers Queen in the Queen election, the promoters wish it known that if the weather is unfavourable the function bo held in the Hospital buildings, as it cannot be postponed. There wore 40 members present at tho weekly meeting of the Avonsido Nursing l>ivision of the St.. John Ambulance Brigade, when Mrs "Watkins, first officer, read an instructive article on muscles and muscular disorders. During the evening five new members were proposed. Work on the Sumner causeway is progressing satisfactorily, and present, indications point to the likelihood or the work being completed within the estimated cost. The gap between the two ends of the causeway is lessening appreciably. At the Board s quarry at Kedcliffs, some very line bluestone has been encountered. At an examination in home nursing recently, held under the auspices of St. John Ambulance Association, the following passed: Mesdames li-dmonds, Jones, and Gale: Misses Anderson, Bradley, Diekev, Fryer, Gilliatt, Haddrell, Honnor. Lendrum. Lush. Marsden, O'Bryan, Bobinson, Savage, 'lavender, Tocker, Wright, and Innes. A soldier from the Canterbury Plains was sitting on the steps of his nc.v quarters at Featherston Military Camp, and looking at the hills which rise, tier upon tier, range upon range, behind Featherston (say? the "Dominion"). In the evening "light they looked immense and solid, with peaks and crests dark against the sunset. "W ell," said tho soldier, "I heard there was lots of land in the North Island, and there must.be when they've goo to pile it up in heaps like that." Two lads of lti and one of 13 years of age appeared on remand from January '_'4th at the Juvenile Court yesterday before Mr T. A. B. Bailey, S.M., charged with breaking and entering the premises of Albert John Dacombe, and stealing therefrom a quantity of electrical goods valued at £3. On an application being made, the charges were reduced to common theft, and the lads pleaded guilty. After severely admonishing the boys, Mr 'Bailcv discharged them without recording a conviction. The danger of boys playing with the pea rifle has again been exemplified by an occurrence which took place the other evening near Peer's road. It seems that two boys obtained a pea rifle and under, strange to say. the actual superintendence of a parent of one of them, commenced firing at a target on a post some seven feet high. Th e bullets soon began to strike a house some 2CO yards away. One bullet pierced the drawing-room window, and passing just above the music stool where the daughter of the house was accustomed to sit when playing, went through 'the division wall into the passage. Considerable damage was done. The officers of the Auckland recruiting office are frequently subjected to considerable annoyance by men who have been rejected by the medical examining officer and'wno persist in their desire to go to the front. A man sixtyone years of age recently offered his services as a recruit. Ho gave his age as fifty-six. but was rejected. He returned' on Tuesday, and, giving his age as forty-five, demanded that he be sent through to the medical officer for examination. When reminded that- his previous offer had not been accepted and that lie had 110 chance of being successful in his present application, he became abusive. He could-not bo made to understand why the matter of age should render him unfit for service, and he threatened to write to tho Defence Minister. The recruiting officer stated that such experiences were of frequent occurrence. It has been decided to charge such men for the medical examination in future. The strong financial position of the Auckland Harbour Board was specially emphasised on Tuesday by Mr C. J. Parr, M.P., in the interview with tho Board's chairman, Mr H. D. Heather, ia regard to the. future of 1 tho old Auckland clock site. No other such Board in Australasia, said Mr Parr, was so well situated financially. According to the. returns issued in April last, the capital valuo of the Board's land and improvements amounted to £2,473,587 and the surplus of assets over liabilities was more than £1,000,000. Peeping with prophetic eye into the future of Auckland. Mr Parr ; asked who could soy what the popula'- ! tion of the city and suburbs would_ bo tin twenty-five or thirty years. With the opening of the seven million acres of unoccupied lands vet in the nrorince. and with the intensive cultivation that j would come after the conclusion of the Avar, he thought it was 110 extravagant estimate to say that- in twenty-five years there Would be at least a quarter of a million people on the shores of the. Waitemata. The custom of allowing the inspectors in.certain of the Government departments to conduct legal proceedings in the Courts was unfavourably commented upon on Thursday by Mr H. A. Young, S.M.. at the close of a coal-mining case at Kaitangata. Points of law had played a large part in the proceedings, and in dismissing the three informations before him Mr Young said to the inspector: '<tfn cases of this kind it is not fair to you or to the Court that you should have to conduct the proceedings, and I think the Department should be . represented by counsel, to whom you could then lend great assistance. In tho present case you have done all that a layman could do, but in future it would bo a great deal better if the Department were represented. especially whero legal argument is likely to be involved." The Bench did not like having to assist one side, and he had endeavoured to get at the facts without raising too manv questions of law. The Hon. J. MacGregor, who appeared for the defence, was apparently of a similar opinion, and so was the inspector (says the "Otago Daily Times"), but the latter pointed' out that the Department's instructions had to be obeyed. Some interesting facts concerning tho effects of the war in South Africa were given to a Palmerston North "Times" reporter in conversation with Mr A. Matheson, of Johannesburg, on Tuesday. Mr Matheson said that prices had gone up considerablv, and exports had decreased materially. Gold was the only product that "was being exported to any extent, and that industry was very busy, employing a very largo number of men. At the outbreak of war tho banks were ordered not to shin any gold, but a few months later £32,000,000 of bullion was sent to London in one shipment. The diamond industry was at a .standstill, and the mines had closed down. There was talk of their being re-opened soon. Some arrangement had been arrived at whereby the employees and their families were permitted to remain in their homes rent free. Many of them had resoonded to the call to the Colours. Recruiting had been very brisk, especially in Johannesburg, whero great had been shown. Out of 10,W0 recruits called for by the Union o. South Africa for service in German r.sst Africa, Johannesburg had contributed 7000. Altogether 12.000 had volunteered in that city, 0000 being rejected. A large number of those rejected wore put out. not because of physical infirmities, but because they were wanted for their work in tho gold mines.

With reference to the suggestion made at the latent-held meeting of tto Tramway Hoard that a seat for waiting tram passengers should be provided round the pole in the centre of Oathe. dral square near the liiccarton c»r stopping place, a plan has been submitted to the City Council for its approval. It is proposed to make a traffic "island" round the pole, tie width of the island to be ten feet. An octagonal seat is provided for round ■ the pole. An extraordinary incident occurred at the Hastings Cool Storage Company's receiving yards on Wednesday Several conveyances wero drawn m> in the, yard, when one of tho horses attached to a trap became restless and bolted. Tearing out of tho yard into tho street opposite, tho irapstrucka post and overturned, the horso being uinncd to the ground by the shaft* just at this moment a lady, driving a phaeton, came alongside, and strange to relate the horse in the phaeton ' trembled violently and dropped dead.
