LAND SETTLEMENT IN NORTEI OTAGO. TO THJS ISDITOIt. Sni, — I noticed a paragraph in your paper last month stating that "Tho Ministor for Lands says ho hopes to bo ablo to purohaso some largo estates in tho North Otago district for settlement purpowos." 1 hopo there was good authority for this statement of yours, as, if bo, It is good news to all North Otago sottlors and intending sottlors. lam an old Oamaru > vian, and for years past havo lamented that our district, with all its natural advantages, should havo been steadily retrogressing instead of advancing. The only thing that can help us, at any rato tho thing that can help us most, is the profitable settlement of our surrounding district. That moans inoreasod population in tho country, and a largor number of producers, a consequent incroasod population in town, and a wider distribution of our rating burdens. 1 trust, sir, that you will not allow this <juostion to sloop. —l am, etc., Oamahu.

R.iyy Christchurch Truth : Treasurer Ward said at Oamaru on July 15th tho Covernnrent was only mortal and made mistukos, but ita mombois asked to bo judged by lesults, and they would .stand or tall by results. Well, Mr Ward, ono thing wo warrt is that surplus. Recently a letter of intro luction wan handed by an actor to a manager, which dcsciibed tho piosentcr as air actor of much merit, and concluded : "He plays Virgiuius, Richelieu, Hamlet, Shylock, and Billiards. Ho plays Billiards the best."
