The cream cart has now made a start in taking cream to the Wairoa, and while there are some difficulties to overcome the cream seems to arrive there alright. The last two days have provided the best spring weather we have yet experienced this season, and the grass should mow come away. The new cook house at the Waikiekie'' tunnel is now in full swing, and is i proving a great boon to the tunnelers and others.

Things are booming at the Waiotira junction. The little engine has not made her appearance as yet owing to unforeseen troubles. If it is not a slip, something else turns up to. keep her back, and for the last day or two she has been off the rails.
