HARIHARI NOTES

(Our Own Correspondent] Messrs Houston Bros., of Hokitika, who have purchased the interests at the K.D.V. Sawmilling Company, intend to employ about 25 hands when the mill is ready to start operations. Stands for whitebait fishing have been taken up at the mouth of the Big Wanganui River, but so far only a couple of pints of fish has oeen netted. Among those fishing at this river are two young ladies, who maintain that they are going to be “in the hunt” for the little fish this season. There were no football matches held here this week-end, owing to other engagements. The Harihari Box Making Company have obtained a lorry to cope with the number of orders being received for white pine for the coming season.
