Ai. Winton oil Monday night the Primo Minister gave a forcible illustration of tho reduction that has been made in railway fares in recent years. Take, ho eaid, tlio rates ruling to-day and compare them with those in operation in 1900. A person who in 1900 paid a farp of 55s 7d fecond cla% singlo from Winton to Lyttolton (a distance of 3!H miles) would to-day be able to purchase for tho same money a ticket- that would carry him from Winton to Auckland and back to Wellington. Put- in another way: Three person; could to-day travel from Winton to Lyttolton second class for 4s 2d more than was paid by one person in 1900. If he paid the return fare Tilling in 1900 for 394 niilce, the distance separating Winton from Lyttolton, he would to-day bo ablo to purchac a return ticket for 812 miles, which was the distance from Winton to Auckland. Touching on tho progress that has been made since he assumed the portfolio of Minister of Railways at tho end of 1E99 down to the present time, Sir Joseph Ward adduced the following figures:—Tho railways open for traffic havo increased by 381 miles, the capita! co3t hae ' expanded to tho extent of £7,961,571, tho train-running has increased by 3,032,566 .mile?, the passengers and season tickets by +,931,310, the passenger revenue by £437,425, the live stcck traffic by 2,261,215 head, tho total goods tonnage by 2,210,475 tons, and the total revenue by £1,292,273. The staff has increased by 5102 men. Tho number of engines has increased by 106, carriages by 425, brake vans by 113, sheep trucks by 399, and other waggons by 4663. On March 31 last tho number of men employed in th o Railway Department was 12,338, the number of engines 410, carriages 1002, brako vans 333, sbeep waggons 1003, and other waggons 14,134. Tho «ating accommodation of the carriages was equal to 42,661 passengers j the carrying capacity of waggons 117,255 tons per day. losterday s meeting of the Benevolent Institution Trustees was attended by Messrs Talboys (chairman), Anderson, Tapper, Burnett, Bridger, and Callaway It was reported that t-hreo of tho inmates— named James Timlin, John Dowcll, and Nora Francis—had died during tho past week.

At tho meeting of the Ota go Central Railway League last owning it was resolved to ask the Mayor of Dunedin to call a public meeting after the general election to consider the question of pushing on tho Otago Central railway. Members of Parliament will to asked io attend (lie meet-'' ing. Tho Devon, due fiom Liverpool about the middlo t>f November, is (says a Wellington me-sage) bringing 47 assisted immigrants, of whom 19 have been nominated by friends in Now Zealand. Among the women aro five domestics. Before his death the late Rev. J. Duncan, of Foxton, expressed (he wish that some of his books should be sent to the library of the Theological College. In compliance with this desire of her father, Miss Duncan lias (says tho Outlook) f ent two boxes, containing the works of the I'uritan divines, to Mr Cameron for, the college library: At its meeting on Tuesday, 20th inst., the Col'oa» Committee expressed its warm appreciation of Miss Duncan's gift. The town clerk of Cliristclmrch has received letter from the Diinedin town clerk (fays a Ohrielcliurch message) asking for information ro the working of public markets. The Christehuicli City Council has been in communication with municipalities throughout the Dominion and Australia on the subject, and has acquired a good <lea! of information, which will bo forwarded to Dunedin. That the Volunteer system of defence haa the sympathy and support of tho mercantile community Jus been demonstrated from time to time. Recently Messrs I!. Hudson and Co. presented a trophy for competition amongst the Harrison Artillery A'olunteers. It is now announced that the Otago Hardware Association is presenting a handso.ne challenge tup for competition amongst tho companies of No. 1 Battalion O.l'i-V. The conditions under which this trophy will ho competed for have ben left to the discretion of tho battalion staff, who hav o decided that for tho first year they will he as follows:-(a) Tacl-ical 'handling' of company in the field; (b) highest average attendance at all battalion parades held during the period commencing Novombor 1, 1908, ami ending al- Ihe close of the Easter camp, 1909. 1 lie Rev. Scoi'g:/. of Morninjfon, delivered 'a lengthy address at the local Presbyterian Hall last night on "Queensland: the Rich Unpeopled Country—the El Dorado of tho Lnnd-peeker and tho Small Capitalist."

It appears that the animal invaded his fowl-run on Sunday evening, 'and played havoc with the poultry, killing 15 fowls and six chickens, and destroying two ertlin-js of eggs from prizo stock. The vacancy in the Cabinet occasioned by the appoint mc-nt of the Ilbn. W. Hall.lones io the High ConimissioneTship i s causing a lot of speculation throughout Xew Zealand, but so far it has not excited much interest in Auckland (says tho New Zealand Herald), the general opinion being that, n, southern monitor will 1* elevated to Cabinet rank. Still, there arc many who freely mention Mr Alfted ICidd and Mr 1\ K Biiumc. K.C., as amongst the " urofc ablcg,"

Mcf ;n Bruce and Dobson, who have lx-on Bent by tho (jovernic-M, to report 011 irrigation matters jn Central Otago arrived in Cromwell on Friday night. In convci';o.tion with ;i voprKontativc of tho tlroinwell Argus Mr liruce mentioned that they had b-:en through t'no Ida Valley, Alexandra, and Clyde portions of tho district, and after going over tho portion of the flat from Bannockburn bridge to Lowburn they would infipeel tlio Luggate, Pembroke, Ilawca. Flat, Tan-as, and Bamligo districts. Mr Brueo obtains samples cf tho ecil f rom different parts, ami forwards them in tins for analysis. Mr Dobson inspects the country and tho water supply, and will report t 0 tho Government as to the method of irrigation for tho different parts.

At a meeting of the Banncckburn Railway Loaguo last week the suggestion mado by tho Pemteoko League to hold a confwer.o2 at Quecroborry of members of tho different branches throughout tho district was unanimously approved (says the Cromwell Argus), and the secretary wired to tho Pembroke League suggesting holding tho mating at Queonsberry next Friday, a reply being Tceoivcd from tho president (Mr Pi. M'Dougaal) as follows:—"Agree with your suggestion -to meet at Queensberry cn Friday. Kindly advic-o othor branches as slated." Another suggestion mado at tho Bannockburn meeting was to try to indues a. few of tho members of the leaguo from Dunedin to attend at Queensberry, as it intended to ask every Otago oawlidale to plodgo himself to the immodiato continuation of <th o lino from Clyde.

Freezing operations during the season just closing at the works controlled by the ■Southland 1 rozen Meat Company have (fciy.i tho Mataura hnsign) been eminently ealisfaciory so far as tho number of careases put through is conoerned. Tlio number is not quito eo gTcat as that dealt With Jast year, which was 4 rccord one, but it rajits next io lost year in volume of business. Last year it, was thought I hat the amount of business dono would bo somewhat at the expense o£ the following •enson. This, however, did not provo tho case, To a. large extent the over-exporta-tion of last year has been made up by the flow of sheep from Iho north for pasture, fcixl ako by the reduction in the number of stores usually taken out c-f tho district fo t fattening. On lbs whole there can bo no ground for ceomplaint, and there appears to he a steady advance in the vohnno of business done by tho company. By ths Turakina, whioh saSctl from Wellington on Thursday for London, Mr ihomas I;nvey, a Wellington inventor, was a paswnger for Homo. M.r Falvey, who was lately attached to tho corporation clcotno light works, is (says tho cw Zealand Times) proceeding to England with tho' object of placing his reversible steam turbine in the hands of exports for thorough testing. If tho invention proves a success it will bo put 011 ths British market. It is claimed that Mr Falve/s reversible turbine possesses an advantage over other reversiblo turbines, inasmuch as it 1.3 operated by only one steam pipe, and is 1 oversell without shutting off steam. Befero leaving New Zealand Mr Falvey had his invention tested by local experts and leading Government engineers, and it is stated to hare accomplished all that has been claimed for it. A gold medal was awarded tho invention at, tho Chrietchurch Exhibition by Mr M'Carthy, managing engineer at the Aldington. Workshops. Shares in tho invention are hold by Wellington and English engineers. Mr Falrey has°had the contrivance in 'hand for feme years, and it is baliovod to bo the mast successful attempt to revolutionise tlio tuxbinc. Mr Falvey Ins also invented a marino fire alarm"; which has undergone some satisfactory local trials, Tho principlo of this alarm is that when tho atmosphc-re in tho ship's hold "tinned 10 or 12 degrees above normal 0. shutter drops in tho chart rcom, and if tho heat increases the shutter will again drop at about. 20 or 30 degrees higher 'J his arrangement onn, however, be regu-let-ed or adjusted to sound tho alarm at any desired temperature. Yet another invention is to be exploited by Mr Falvey— fi'i olcctrio tctalisaior.

During his speech at. Sydenham cn Moilday evening, Mr 131, dealing with tho r.cecwity for preventing tho .importation of owe-, ted goods, said rtwt tho Hon. J. A.

In conversation with a Tiniaru Herald reporter on Tuesday tho Hon. Mr 11 Nub said he bad lwon si-ruck with the fact- that in the South Island, in no-lieen ; e olwtoraies in the extreme foutli of tho island, there wa; practically no contcst, and I bore was a great. liu-k of interest In political inattcw. lli> hardly know why this was so, but lu> suggested that' it was owing to the nolicense- question having settled in these particular piretor.itre. and, having been ,-etlle;!, the penple ceeined to tttke little or no interest in Ihe election without it. The-, 1 remarks applied io electorate? wheie Opposition candid-tiro; as well as (loveriinient sui)port?rs were standing, so that the lack of inteicst could not be att-i'ibutcd to political "colour." If his suggestion vras .riijlit, that the settlement of tlio licensing Unction teak till intere?! from the olccticn, ii indicated the nccossity of taking away juatters from the general election as soon an possible. A Press Association telegram from Tnvei'eargill slates that the l'rime Minister will visit several places in Southland to-day. 110 will leave Invereargill on Friday morning for Temuka. All Oamani Mail reporter asked Mr M'Nab if there were any chance of the Ilakataramea Flfitatc being available for settlement purposw. Tho Minister replied that there was 110 possible hope of tlio I/and I'urchase Board recommending its acquisition. Had there been settlers 011 the estate they would .have lost everything they had ar.d boon entirely ruined this winter owing to the heavy snowfall. The country, hc said, was not suitable for clcee settlement. On being aslv.l if thcro was any possibility of the Kanrco ballot being held previous to the commencement of harvest operations, Mr M'Nab replied that tho schema was not yet finally approved. The ballot would bo liefd as soon as possible after the sttn-ey was completed and tho maps were ready, as the Government was anxious (nut tlw estate should bccomc icvenne-prodticing. The Rovernment coukl not afford to keep the ballot wailing until a time suitable to the requirements of tho district. His Excellency tho Governor will give a dinner in Christchuroh on November 9 in honour of the King's Biithdav. Mr Thomas Wilson, head shepherd at Kawarait Falls Station, has been missing sinoo last Friday wosk. When it was. reported on the following day that Wikon had disappeared from his hut tho police were acquainted of the fact (says'tho Wakatipu Mail), and made a rough scareh. Word camo ill next day that lie (Wilson) had turned up, but it was not until Saturday last that this assertion was found to bo incorrect. Diligpnt search has since been made by Constable I-Icndorson and tho station hands, but without avail. Some time s i n ca St. Matthew's Church securcd an advanco in the shape of a hank -overdraft whereby to carry out oxtensivo renovating works in connection with th o cbureii buildings, and in conocquonc-o cf this tho church is still £400 in debt.

Cui-zon-Sjggers that- tho of St. was vcrv anxiotM that the church property should be transferred to the Dioerean Tiuct Board, and was prepared to cany this into effect as soon as tho £400 nercssarj to discharge its liability could bo raised.

The report, wo understand, shows that the returns for the six months, when compared wiih the manager's estimate on tho subject, discloses a small margin on 1b? uiong jkio, 'flio trial, of coirn-e, has cnlv been fcr six months, and a gradual increase of population in flint suburb might in time justify the concession.
