The rise and progress of Dannovirke has been phenomenal, certainly- more rapid and remarkable than that of any town in the colony.

The situation of Dannevirke admits of no alternative but that it must become one of the largest and most important inland cities in the North Island, drawing as it does its support from the extensive and fertile districts reaching away to the coast through Kaitoko (shortly to be subdivided), Mangatoro, Ngapaeruru, Weber, Coonoor, Wimbledon, etc., etc., a distance of sixty miles on tho east side; through tho large level blocks of magnificfent agricultural land, the Piri Piri, Tiratu, and Otawhao Block (to be sub-divided at an early date), away through (Makotuku, OrjnondviUe, Takapau, Ruataniwha, Waikopiro, and Hatuma on the north side; the virgin Tamaki Block of 36,000 acres, and the splendid dairying ' districts of Uniutaoroa- and Maharahara on the west side ; and tho magnificen estates of Tahoraiti, Oringi, and Matahiwi, now undergoing the process of subdivision, and the prosperous Kumero* settlement on the *oulh. _ Located on the main line of communication betweon tho rich plains of Hawkes Bay and the populous districts of the West Coasts, Dannevirko has a constantly increasing stream of visitors, and as the eawmilling industry, which is still of great importance, lias made a great and prosperous past, so the agricidtural prospects around the city undoubtedly ensure it a great and permanent future.
