SEVEN-MILE RAILWAY.

The new railway station being erected at Rapahoe is one that possesses an interest not only for the users of coal, but also for the farmers of the Barrytown district. This station, we understand, is, for the time being at any rate, to remain a terminal station. Yet the indications are that the Railway Department is likely to regard it merely as a flag station. That would mean the provision merely of a hank for the purposes of loading ana

unloading freights passing between here and Barry town or the surrounding localities. The station in that event would be useful almost solely for coal and passenger traffic. The farmers in the lengthy stretch of country who will be served by the new line are surely entitled to consideration. There should be stock pens and other facilities such farming communities require. We merely mention this matter in order that the settlers and all others interested may reflect as to whether they desire the proper outfit, and arc prepared to seek it!
