Waimate North.

(From our Own Correspondent.) I notice that the new road known as Moseoviti’s road is now being formed, the successful tenderer being as busy as the day is long. Several other parties of men are busy with their respective sections of road work, hut I think the best part is the stone crusher now at work near the upper end of Scoria Flat, which is putting through enough to keep six drays carting away the broken stone. All this sounds very much like business and better roads, and when they have got their roads in good order on the Kawakawa end let us suggest that the stone crusher be planted somewhere in this locality for a season. The Kangamu hill, on the Waimate-Kerikeri road, badly needs overhauling and metalling. We hear that Mr. J. J. Maxwell, late teacher of the Oromahoe Native School, died recently in Auckland, where he had resided since resigning that position. The pheasants are again being tormented with gun and dog, and from the number of shots one hears a considerable number have already toed the mark. One sportsman says he got four brace the first day. He certainly had a well filled bag, hut you know a bunch of fern is easier got than pheasants, especially when the party generally only gets f-f-f-ea-thers when he shoots. May 3, 1907.
