An extension of the freight car service to Karori is contemplated by the Tramway Department, as it is believed public patronage would warrant the enterprise, when ite advantages became known. The steamer Clan M'Laren, which arrived at Timaru from Bunbury (W.A.) early on Saturday, brought 23,400 jarrah 6loepers for the Railway Department. These will be used in renewing the main line to the south between Timaru and Oamaru. ' The gang oi platelayers has been at work for some time, and have already put down new sleepers, and. metals from Timaru nearly as' far as St. Andrews. The Tongariro, now at Timaru, is landing a quantity of new rails for the work. These are much heavier than those that axe being taken up. Each one of the new rails is' 42f.t long and weighs B|cwt. The largest of the metals that have been taken np is only 36ft in length and about sjcwt. On the piece of line that has been renewed a great difference in the smooth running of the express can be noticed (says the Timara Post), and when the -new line has been laid as far an Oamaru it should be one of the fastest stretches between Dunedin and Christchurch. From the Victoria Insurance Company, Ltd., the Standard Insurance ComEany, and the Norwich Fire Insurance ociety we have received useful wall calendars for 1912. An interesting arrival in Tasmanian waters, a few days .ago was (says the Sydney Daily Telegraph) the Norwegian snip Mimosa, which is to act us a floating factory in the proposed whaling industry on the west coast of Tasmania. She is to be followed by four other vessels, and they will carry out whaling operations in the vicinity of Port Davey. Considerable interest attaches to the scheme, as it is a resuscitation of an old Tasmanian industry. In the old whaling days the work of capturing the whales was carried on completely by sailing vessels, but now auxiliary and steam vessels are used. Years ago a boat was launched from the ship^ and the whale harpooned by hand, but now the harpoon is shot from a gun. The barque Helen is the last of the Tasmanian 'whalers. She was withdrawn in 1900, and is now engaged 'in the commercial service. An alteration will be made next week | in the. tramway time-table in order to compensate for> the diversion of Newtown and Karori.' care via the new Charlottestreet loop from the route to Lambton Station. The frequency of the Aro-street, Oriental Bay, and Island Bay services will be increased. At the same time the 7£-minute service along the Wallacestreet line during the lunch hour will be discontinued, the results not having warranted further maintenance. A new timetable i» in preparation, and will «h»vtly be gublbbed,
