A note that will be regarded as most cheerful by local wool producers was struck at the Gisborne Rotary Club lunch recently by a visiting Rotarian from Wanganui (says the Gisborne Times). ‘'Wool.” he said, “must rise. 1 belong to the -woollen industry, and j know that that is so. You can take this ‘tip’ as being right, coming as it does from our quarter, as we belong to the class of people which will have to buy it." There was a bit of an outcry a short time ago about the importation of tins for use in the export of butter (says the Westport correspondent of the Grey River Argus). Whether this method of exportation is supposed to be adopted by the Buller Butter Factory, there is no evidence, but recently there have been deposited upon the banks of lhe Buller several consignments of tins, of all descriptions. The inspector of nuisances holds that the deposits are illegal, and is looking for the depositors. The North Canterbury Acclimatisation Society has decided to offer to pay for shags’ heads from birds destroyed in the district at the rate of Is per head. The sum of £5O has been allocated for expenditure in this direction.
