A prominent Dunedin business man, in referring to the situation caused by the strikes in Australia, said, if the strikes were to be of long duration New Zealanders would be 'compelled .to become more solf-reliant (says the Otago Daily' Times). As a people, we were credited with being resourceful, and the depletion of stocks would give an opportunity of exercising that quality. As an instance, he mentioned that prior to the war large quantities of gelatine were imported 'into the Dominion from Britain, France, and Germany, and the manufacturing confectioners, who were the .largest users of it, were particularly solicitious as to 'the quality, and could on no account be prevailed upon to use the locally-manufactured article. During the past two and a-half years tha imported stuff cofcld not be procured', and the confectionery manufacturers were compelled to use the local article, which, by the way, was manufactured in Christchurch, and they now pronounced it to be first-class, and quite equal, if not superior, ■to the best imported. The gentleman referred to was of the opinion that interruptions such as the one we were now experiencing would reault in the stimulation of manufacturing, and ultimately make tho island Dominion self-supporting.

One day last week two horses attached to a rabßit wagon at Waipiata took fright and bolted (says a Dunedmpaper). They had gone about two miles when a young man, Mr. R., Paterson, saw the situation, and, mounting a horse he was working, pursued them, but as they had a big.start he was unable to overtake them. At this time another man came along with a car. Mr. Paterson here left his horse and joined the oar, which set off at full speed, soon overtaking the runaways. Mr. Paterson left the car and jumped on to the back of the wagon while the horses were still galloping fast. He found .that t)he reins were hanging down by the horses' feet, and, as it was dark, he got down : to the pole at great risk to his life, and 1 recovered the reins, bringing the horses to a standstill a few yards in front of an approaching car. It was a very daring feat, and Mr. : Patereon deserves every credit for his act of bravery. Mr. Paterson is about to leave for the front.
