NORTH OTAGO NOTES

[From Oub Oamabu Correspondent.] SALMON RUN. The Waitaki River has been improving during the past few days, but it is nob expected that it will be in the best of condition at the week-end. Although salmon have been running for a while there has not been a big run, but it is expected that this will take place any day now as the signs are ..favourable, and all that is needed in that case is clear water for good sport. | The Kakanui River is reported to be in good condition.
