TRAFFIC AGAIN BLOCKED
BUSH TRAMWAY DISPUTE MAORI WOMAN ON LINE (0.C.) TE KUITI, Friday Traffic on the bush tramway between Horokino and Mangapehi was again blocked this evening, the dispute between millers and the Maori owners being still unsettled. After visiting Te Kuiti yesterday, Mrs. Mahuri, a representative of the owners, again took up a position on the line to-day and was supported by a number of other Maoris. A gate was placed across the line yesterday, but a locomotive which had been marooned at Horokino returned with its load of logs for the mill at Mangapehi. It was sent up again to-day and after it had passed Mrs. Mahuri and her supporters took up their position again. The locomotive arrived in Mangapehi this afternoon, but the Maoris have not permitted logs to pass.
