NORTH OTAGO.

ACTIVITIES OF THE DISTRICT. (Faro Ova Snout Coaaxspoxsiirr.)

MAJESTIC PICTURES Mystery, a bizarre trick of fate and one of the most gripping pieces of character portrayal in years unite in making a vivid drama of “Payment Deferred/' Metro* Goldwyn-Mayer’s picture, which will_ be shown at the Majestic Theatre to-night. “Payment Deferred” is the drama of a “ perfect crime.” A bank clerk, desperate because of debts, murders a man to obtain money, and hides the evidence so cleverly that he is never suspected. He and his wife share the guilty secret, and live under its shadow, but he amasses a fortune. His daughter, in a better becomes estranged. Finally, through the wife’s suicide because of the love affair of the clerk, he is tripped up, and condemned for a crime that was not even committed —while the real crime remains undetected. A Laurel-Hardy comedy and Mickey Mouse cartoon are also included in this programme. A special programme will be shown at the matinee. ’ CHURCH SERVICES The services in St. Paul’s Church tomorrow will be conducted by the Rev. Brian Kilroy., At the morning service the. Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper will be celebrated. Mr Kilroy’s evening subject will be “The Essence of : Sacrifice.” The bus will, leave Fernhrpok at 10.30 a.m., returning after the morning service. At both services there will be a retiring collection in aid of the Poor Fund. The Christian Science service will be held in the Oddfellows’ Hall, Coquet street, to-morrow evening. The subject will be “Man,” and a cordial invitation is extended to all to attend. On Wednesday a testimony meeting will be held. To-morrow evening at the Church of Christ, Eden street, Mr Garfield Todd will commence a series of addresses on "Prophecy." The first address will be in the nature of an introduction to the various schools of thought regarding the subject. An invitation is extended to all interested to attend. PUKEURI FREEZING WORKS Killing operations are proceeding very satisfactorily at the Pukeuri Freezing Works this season, the chain system being engaged at full time. So far the number of stock treated is 35,000 ahead of the number for the same period last year. CONDITIONS IN THE COUNTRY Apart from a few northerly winds and odd showers of rain, the weather conditions in North Otago have _ been fairly good for harvesting operations. Stacking is going on apace, and in many cases ■where threshing mills are available stock threshing is in progress. Early reports of the wheat yields are promising, and some very fine conditioned wheat is coming forward. Oats are not up to standard, rust having had an adverse effect on crops from the heavier land. Lambs are fattening well, and are coming forward in large numbers to the works. With the few moderate rains experienced, rape and root crops have more than held their own, and will provide ample feed to fatten all the stock available in the district. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

The following judges have been appointed for the North Otago Horticultural Society’s autumn show to be held in the Drill Hall on Tuesday next:—Pot plants and cut blooms, Mr White (Waimate), Mr J, Tait (Oamaru); decorative section, Mrs R. B. Irvine and assistant; children’s section, Mrs Darling, Miss Murdoch, and the Misses Familton;; fruit and vegetables, Mr J. Main. Entries close at mid-day on Monday. POWER BOARD CARS In. discussing the question of the costs of the distribution engineer’s and the engineer’s cars, a member of the board has pointed out that in the statement given in yesterday’s issue all reference to depreciation Was omitted, and when this depreciation is taken into account at the rate required by the Government regulations it brings the cost of the cars to .over £IOO each per year, as stated at the hoard table. LOAN CONVERSION The Waitaki Farmers’ Freezing Company has telegraphed to the Minister of Finance consenting to the conversion of £BOOO Government securities under his scheme.

PORT STATISTICS The following are the port statistics for Oamaru for the month of February:— Coastal cargo; Inwards 433 tons (coal 207, sugar 77, fruit 1, motor spirit 2, seeds 1, wines 5, butter box shocks 17, sacks 13, other good 93); outwards 1334 tons (flour 719, lime 232, oat products 15, Eollard and bran 295, seeds 2, wheat 26, lane’s Emulsion 4, woollen 28, furniture 6, charcoal 3, other goods 4).

TOTARA SCHOOL JUBILEE A further meeting of the Totara School Jubilee Committee was held on Thursday night, the chairman (Mr R. Nee<J>) presiding. Quotes were received lor the catering for the banquet, the tender of Mr D. Whittaker, Arcadia Tea-rooms, being accepted. It was decided that a birthday cake be obtained for the banquet on the Saturday evening of Easter. The arrangements or the jubilee celebrations are now well in hand, and numbers of ex-pupils have signified their intention of being present at the majority of the functions. It was stated that ex-pupils who have not yet received' communications should forward their names and addresses to the secretaries. RODEO AND GYMKANA An enthusiastic meeting of representatives of the North Otago Agricultural and Pastoral Association and commercial members of the Queen Carnival Committee was held in the County Council Chambers to make arrangements and draw up a suitable programme for the monster gymkana and rodeo, which was unanimously agreed should be held at the Show Grounds on March 18. Mr M. F. Cooney wae appointed chairman, Mr A. W. Woodward secretary, and Mr R. K. Gardiner treasurer. The chief item in an otherwise thrilling and attractive programme will be the steer-riding competition, which will’be a new attraction to Oamaru, and which has proved so popular at similar functions in other districts. The whole programme will be quite a novelty, and should provide plenty of fun and amusement for competitors and public alike. The proceeds will go to the port of the Commercial Queen in raising funds for the Mayoress’s Relief Fund. WAIANAKARUA SCHOOL JUBILEE The monthly meeting in connection with the forthcoming jubilee celebrations of the Waianakarua School was well attened. The president (Mr Neil Ross) occupied the chair. It was decided to hold the picnic at the school. Messrs M'Kerrow Bros.’ kind offer of the use of a paddock adjoining the school in which to hold the various sporting events wae accepted and greatly appreciated by the committee. A committee of twm was appointed to draw up a programme in connection with the picnic. _lt was suggested that a football, cricket set, and marbles be obtained, so that ex-pupils could renew the days of their youth. The Herbert Hall Committee offered the use of the hall for the Monday night dance, and while its offer was much appreciated, it was decided that it would be best to hold all functions at the school. It was reported that the choirs of the Herbert and Hampden Presbyterian Churches had kindly offered to assist at the Sunday service, and that support and co-operation were gratefully accepted. Mr Robert Green is compiling a history of the school, and anyone possessing any information that would assist him in this direction is requested to communicate with the secretary. The Billeting Committee reported having canvassed residents of the district regarding accommodation tor visitors, and had met with, most oatisfactory results. ELECTRIC SUPPLY

Hr H. L. Benjamin, of Napier, and engineer of the Hawke’s Bay Electric Bower Board, who has been spending a couple of days’ holiday at Oamaru, yesterday paid a visit to the Waitak» Hydroelectric Works, and in the course of a conversation with the Daily Times representative said he was greatly impressed with the work, which was of greater magnitude than either Waikaremoana or Arapuni. Mr Benjamin is the joint author of a paper on earthquake risks, read to the recent civil engineers’ conference, commented on the work that had been done by the Hawke’s Bay Board since the earthquake, stating that the system had been thoroughly overhauled, and every precaution taken to make the system earthquake proof. In Napier itself the main reticulation has been placed underground on either side of the streets, which, while being much more costly, ensured greater safety and immunity froni interruptions in a town or city where continuity of supply was most essential. From the experience gained _ in the Hawke s Bay regulations regarding the protection of electrical undertakings would probably be issued, but it would seem desirable for all supply authorities ,to take certain precautions. Many of the boards had already benefited by the experience gained in the Hawke’s Bay earthquake, but in some localities which were regarded as not subject to earthquakes little had so far been done, and it was here that it was still desirable to adopt some simple measures to safeguard life, ■lines and apparatus. , Speaking of the question of costs ot supply, Mr Benjamin said it was very difficult to make comparisons between different systems, some authorities supplying towns only, some country districts only, some both town and country, and some supplying in bulk to boroughs. An authority supplying a fair-sized town and a country district could have a lower rate, than one supplying a country district only, and he was of the opinion that the Waitaki rates were very low. He stressed the importance of maintenance of lines by regular overhaul, pointing out that by so doing continuity of seryice and safeguarding of property was ensured. CRICKET Union Juniors v.

The president gave an interesting talk on her visit to the conference. Arrangements were made for the celebration of the branch’s first birthday to bo held on March 17. M.U.1.0.0.F. At the fortnightly meeting of the Loyal Oamaru Lodge, M.U.1.0.0.F., N.G. Bro. V. Mulligan presided over a good attendance of officers and members. Motions of condolence were passed with Bro. J. T. and A. F. Kibblewhite in the death of their mother, and also the relatives of the late Mr G. M. Middlemass and Bro. E. Frobath (P.S. Loyal United Gore Lodge), and carried in the usual manner. During a recess a “ question box ” was held, the members thoroughly enjoying a pleasant half-hour, answering questions on various matters. It was decided to enter for the lodge initiation competition to be held in Dunedin on March 11. It was reported that the officers were already practising assiduously. An invitation was received from the A.O.F. Lodge to a dance to he held on Tuesday next in aid of the Friendly Societies’ Queen. It was also decided' to hold a dance at the next lodge meeting for the same purpose. P.G. Bro. F. Phillips reported on the activities of the Queen Carnival Executive and the Friendly Societies Executive.

OAMARU MARKETS Oats. —A weaker tendency in this market still persists, but as far as North Otago is concerned very few oats have come on the market, growers preferring to put them into stack and concentrate on their wheat harvests, rather than thresh Gartons for which there is no outlet even at the present low prices. It is very evident from samples which have come on the market, that there are very few oats of A grade quality in this district, the bulk of the Garton oat crops having been affected with the devastations of rust which has retarded the filling ot the grain. The nominal price of A grade Gartons is Is lid, f.0.b.. s.i., and J 3 grade Is Bd, f.0.b., s.i. These prices work out at about la 5d and Is 2d on trucks, country sidings, sacks extra. Wheat.—The market for good whole fowl wheat has again weakened, and 2a lid, f.0.b., has been offered for March delivery. The forward position, however, has remained firm, and the general quotation for spreart delivery, April-September, is 3s 3d to os 4d, f.0.b., sacks extra. The wheat harvest is now in full swing, and some excellent samples of milling wheat have come on the market, and been accepted at the pool schedule rates. Chaff.—ln sympathy .with the oat market, this market is very weak. Prices to growers are 1 2 5s per. ton, sacks extra, on trucks, for good bright oaten Sh Seels!—The North Island trade is far from satisfactory, and there is no evidence yet that the autumn demand has started in earnest. A fair quantity of Italian ryegrass and Western coming forward for dressing, the bulk on growers account, and up to the P re ® e “* very few lines of perennial have been seen. There are few lines of cocksfoot seed offering, and merchants are only buying the best at 3d per lb, in the undressed state. A big area of cowgrass seed is being saved, and, at the m onieut ' conditions are satisfactory for a good Cr °Stock.—The following, private stock sales were transacted during the week. Two-tooth ewes, 18s; four-year-old haltbred Romney ewes, Ils 6d; full-mouthed Corriedale ewes, 7s 6d; one-shear boutlidown rams, 9gns; store lambs, Bs, tour-ycar-old gelding, £39.
