GREAT LAND SALE. RURAL, SUBURBAN, TOWN, AND VILLAGE LANDS IN THE FEILDI N'G SET t'l Wk E N T,'*' MANCHESTER BLOCK, MANAWATTJ.

MESSRS HALCOMBE & SHERWILL Have received instructions from the Directors of the Emigrant Colonists' Aid Corporation, to sell by PUBLIC AUCTION AT FEILDING ON WEDNESDAY, 26th MARCH, 1879, and on the following day if necessary, KCif) SECTIONS, Comprising OVER 10,000 ACRES, Being Village, Town, Suburban, and Rural Lands, in Sections varying from £ acre to 500 acres, thus offering opportunities for profitable investment to all classes, to tradesmen, to laborers of every description, to farmers wishing to make: homes in this Prosperous Settlement, and especially to saw-millers and bushmen desirous of reaping a fe olden harvest from the Wanganui Timber Trade. The following are the several properperties which will be offered for sale : — I. 9000 ACRES RURAL LAND, in 41 Sections, varying from 50 to 500 acres. This magnificent tract of country is THE PICK OF THE MANCHESTER BLOCK. It lies all in the Valley of the Orowa, is very level, is very well watered by several permapant creeks and by the ' Orowa River, yet no part of it is flooded, nor has it an acre of swamp. It lies within 2\ miles of Feilding, and within two miles of the railway. It is connected by a good metalled road running right through it, with the Town of Feilding and the new Town of "Ashhurst" on the Manawatu Gorge. Many of the Sections are covered with very light bush, chiefly tawa ; several on the other hand are very heavily timbered with a large proportion of totara, and are as fine saw-mill sites as could be desired. Except with regard to the totara land, purchasers will have the choice of taking up any of these lands on lease, with right of purchase on very easy terms. 11. THE CORPORATION PORTION OF THE NEW TOWN OF "ASHHURST," comprising 190 acres divided into 342 sections. This is a sister town to Feilding and Halcombe. The town itself and the country round is being dealt with in the way of boiia fide settlement and road-making in precisely the same way as Feilding and Halcombe ; investors may therefore confidently look forward to a similar success to that which has attended those who were so fortunate as to be the first investors in the towns. " Ashhurst" ia now connected with Feilding by a good metalled road running direct through the Mancheater Block. It is on the main coach-road from Palmerston to Napier. The main railway line from Wanganui to Napier runs through the heart of it. The traffic from a very large portion of the . Manchester Block and from nearly the whole of Wanganui Harbor Board Endowment Block must converge upon this town,and meet the railway at this point ; and as, in addition to the road lines completed, other roads are being rapidly opened in several directions from it, "Ashhurst" must be the central depot of an enormous timber trade, there being more totara in its neighborhood than anywhere else in the Manawatu. This town is the centre of the operations of the Corporation now, and must continue to be so for the next three or four years. Independently of its importance as a convenient centre for a very large area of country, " Ashhurst," from its proximity to the Gorge and to the meeting of the waters of the Pohangina and Manawatu Rivers, is most interesting and picturesque, . and, as has been frequently observed by travellers^ in the Napier coach when passing through, "it seems • specially designed by nature for the site of an important town." 111. 30 SUBURBAN SECTIONS OF HALCOMBE, comprising 380 acres, the sections varying in size from sto 40 acres. This block of suburban sections has been hitherto reserved from sale. It lies on the boundary of the town itself, within half a mile of the railway station, and is opened by a good metalled road running right through it. The whole of ■ this block is covered with good timber either for sawing, splitting, ' or for firewood, and as this is the nearest available bush to Rangitikei and Wanganui, the timber on these sections has a special value independently of the land, which ' both for position and quality can hardly. , be surpassed.. These sec- > tion3 would be an. admirable inI vestment for any working man 1 ESTATE OF K. F. MORTENSEN.
