About half-way between "Eltluim and Stratford an unusual camp has been established. It is in the nature' of a dug-out. The ingenious builder selected a portion of .a deep ditch where atone t-imo .tar in drump was stored to keep it away from the sun. 1 With drums that', have .been cut in half, making useful. sheets of iron, a' ’serviceable and .waterproof shelter has'been erected. For beds,. the place has been lined with dry fern. A handy fireplace has also been constructed by simply using a discarded drum through which a bar hlaiy tbeeu. affixed. - Altogether ports a Taranaki exchange, it is a very comfortable eauip, ancli it is out of sight of the roadway, .so that the great majority of passers-by are not aware of its presence.
