LAND SALE

One of the most important sales of laud yet held on the West Coast of the North Island will take place early in August, when the lato Mr. James Gear's beautiful estate at Te Horo, containing about 1700 acres, will be subdivided and offered by auction by Messrs. Abraham and Williams, Ltd., and Dalgety and Co. in conjunction. This property is undoubtedly one of tho best on the Manaw<itu Line, and is admirably adapted for closer settlement, being adjacent to the Te Horo railway station on both sides of ■the line, and no more suitable property i could bo found for. dairying purposes for supplying the city of Wellington with lmlk.'Tne !a<-.t of trains running through 'every Sunday in Hip summer, and picking up tho milk, should bo a great inducement to those inquiring for suit-able farms for this purpose. The greater portion of the property is first-class croi)pitia and dairying land, and the balance is suitable for-mixed fanning and sheen. The intcntiqn of the. vendors is to offer a portion of the property, in small sections, next to . tho railway .station. They expect, in a very short time, to sen a thriving and flourishing township spring up at Te Hero. Tho. climato iseriual b I the best in New Zealand, ami tho district is well served with trains from 'Wellington, which is only -1-5 miles distant. A preat impetus should be given to the district by the subdivision of this finn property. A site has already been secured by a dairy company, and p. creamery will be in full swing by September 1. A guarantee of Wellington market prices for milk delivered at the creamery during the v:inter months will be given, and full current rates during the summer.
