Lieutenant-Colonel Gudgeon, Resident Commissioner of the Cook Islands, exprejscs an interesting opinion in his annual report regarding the orange trado ■with New Zealand. Last year's export was 76,090 cases, but a third more could have been cent away if there had been a good market. The Resident. Commissioner express the opinion Lhat tho only parsons benefiting from the trada at present are the middlemen and the Union Stsam Ship Company. Tho producers often get a debit not 3 for their trouble in packing the fruit. "It would be in tho interest of the whole group," conduces Colonel Gudgeon, "if prices continua to be so bad as to discourage- tho trade altogether. These islands are tic home of tba coco palm, and if the natives could tie brought to see that their interests Uy in the .planting and cultivation of itcse, valuable tress, they would soon be wealthy men. , „ '- A meeting of the St. Patrick's College Old Bbjs' Association was hsld last night, Mr. I|V.

Whyte, J: Dick, ....aad -'" W.i ;Jesßfcn,; JesBfcn, - representing the CT&ir&rapa School CommitteEs' Association, introduced' by Mr. Hogg, M.H.R., waited on tho Minister of Education yesterday, and urged that facilities shduld be ' afforded committees i"of establishing and erecting septic tasks in connection with the public schools of the district.- They stated that they had bean in communication with the Education Board on the subject, but the board! did not see its way to incur the necessary expense! It wa3 estimated that tho total cost for the whole of the education district would not exceed £70CO, and tho deputation expressed the opinion that ii .the money required were advanced to the committees, with provision for rewaymentj there would be no difficulty In parrying oafc the auggested improvement. Tue ADinister 1 replied that ho ■•sympathised with the object of the deputation, but the matter urged was on 9to be settled bctwen the committees and the education boards, whose local governing pOT/ers msust be cars,fuHy •preserved. Septic tanks' had been attached to some of the schools in the Auckland district, £md ther-3 was no reason why they should cot be tiied in tho Wellington district. With regard to tho cost of thd3o improvements, he thought the boards, should' be able to finance a schema that Would meet the requirements of the comxmttvses. It was pointed out that ' tho question of waya and means was the' chief barrier to a, commencement being made with the septic tank system, and that ths .committfecs should be placed in the rAxaa position ?e settlers under the AdTances to Settlera Act. The Minister repeated that he believed the boarde v.-tfre in a position to help the committees, but if not he would conaider whether the department should not render some assistance. - Entries io the homo industries sec- - tion of the Exhibition close on Monday • next, and exhibit* must reach the Exhibidon not later than '6th October.
