Sales by Auction. .*£'o t. FRIDAY, JUNE 29, . ' At One o'Clock. AND. Jj AND SIXTH SALE OF THE LANDS OF THE ' WELLINGTON AND MANAWATU RAILWAY COMPANY (LIMITED.) IMPORTANT fO THE BONA FIDE FARMER WHO DESIRES TO IMPROVE HIS POSITION, OR TO PUT HIS SONS ON LAND THAT WILL MEAN A COMPETENCE TO THEM. IN THE EXCHANGE LAND AND MERCANTILE AUCTION ROOMS, MANNERS-STREET, WELLINGTON. ON FRIDAY, JUNE 29, ISSS, At One o'Clock p.m. T. KENNEDY MACDONALD & CO, Are favoured with instructions from the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company (Limited), to sell by public auction, as above— MAGNIFICENT BLOCK OF ABOUT 4000 AORES of GRAND AGRICULTURAL AND. PASTORAL LAND, Situate adjacent to the township of Paraparaumu, on the railway line, and distant 32 miles from the city of Wellington, and being portions of the blocks numbered XIII. of the Kaitawa, I. of the Akatarawa, and 11. of the Paikak&riki survey districts, and subdivided into thirty-eight sections, ranging in area from forty acres to one hundred and thirty acres each. It is now needless to expatiate on the character of the Railway Company's lands. The practical work of clearing and bringing into cultivation large areas of land purchased at the former sales has revealed the fact that the soil is of extraordinary richness. Many of the first purchaser, tempted by large profits, have sold out and are now regretting having done so. A week or two since £14 per acre was refused for a section that had been purchased for £3 per acre, the improvements upon it being merely the personal labour of two purchasers in felling and burning the bush. In submitting an offer the other day to one of the buyers of a section purchased a year ago, and which offer meant an advance of 100 per cent, on his purchase, and in addition payment for his improvements, he replied, " I am not prepared to sell. I bought the section for a home, and I know of no place in the Colony which presents greater attractions or is more calculated to bring a man to anchor for his life. I thank you for your offer, but no inducement will tempt me to sell such land as I have got" This is the spirit of the true settler, and nothing has given us more satisfaction than the knowledge that every man rho has invested a pound in the Railway Company's land can receive his money back should he desire it, with a handsome profit in addition. To those residents in other parts of the Colony who may be unacquainted with the wonderful richness and advantages of that portion of the West Coast of the North Island in which the land for sale is situate, it is necessary to state that the climate is superior to that of any other part of the Colony, the Tararua Ranges sheltering and protecting it from the cold southerly winds prevailing elsewhere in winter; the grape, the olive, and many semi-tropical fruits ripening in the open air. All old settlers are agreed that similar land wiil carry, when cleared and laid down with English grass, some six sheep to the acre the whole year through, while it is wellknown that, in consequence the richness of the pasture, no necessity exists for preparing winter feed. As a stock-producing district it has also the amazing advantage of being able to fatten and keep stock ripe for killing for ten months in the year. To the practical stockbreeder this important fact needs no comment. The land now for sale consists of two splendid valleys with the hills surrounding them, the valleys ranging in width from half a mile to a mile each. The timber is mainly rimu, and their growth is an evidence of the grand character of the sou and climate. No better opportunity for enterprising sawmillers could be found than the purchase of a number of the sections in this block. It is safe to assert that no red pine of equal size and quality could be procured from any land in the district now open for sale. The roads are being laid off throughout the block, and bridle tracks have been cut, which latter will enable visitors to examine the land without difficulty. The starting point of the roads will be from the Paraparaumu Railway Station, and arrangements are now being made to lay off a main country road ttto the block from tho Wainui Railway Station The TERMS OF SALE ARE STILL FIXED on a basis which will, we feel sure, be appreciated by all who desire to see the lands of the country speedily settled. They are as follows «3TDEPOSIT AT THE AUCTION SALE, TEN PER CENT. The BALANCE of 90 per cent, to REMAIN ON MORTGAGE FOR SEVEN YEARS, bearing interest at the unprecedentedly low rate of FIVE PER CENT, per annum.
