Settlers owning swamp lands on the Kaituna river basin, Bay of Plenty, are urging tho Prime Minister to have the land drained on t/he same terms as Rangitaiki. The 'ambulance section of the National Reserve hold their weekly instruction class and parade this evening. The subject will be, ''Unconsciousness." A full muster is requested', as a squad will be picked to represent the ambulance m a shooting competition against No. 1 Platoon next Monday evening. The men selected for Gisborne's draft of the 13th Reinforcements are reporting so slowly that the Defence Office is considering the preparation of a supplementary list. It is necessary for hhose selected and whose names have been published, to report to the Defence Office as to whether they can leave with the next draft or not. This should be done immediately, otherwise their names will be subsituted. A special meeting of the Mangapapa Town Board, to 'have been held last night to consider the question of a commission to apportion tho cost of maintenance of main roads and bridges m the Mangapapa district, was postponed, pending a conference between the local bodies concerned. Tho Board hope that an arrangement will be come to so as to avoid" the expense of a commission. Amongst the cases dealt with at the Te Karaka Court yesterday was one m which James Morris, junr. (Mr Bright), proceeded against his uncle, Wm. Morns (Mr Coleman) on a charge of illegally rescuing three horses that had been seized for the purpose of being impounded. In admitting a technical breach of the Impounding Act, Mr Coleman pointed out that the trouble arose over some family friction. Defendant was fined £1 and costs £51 Bs. * Attention is drawn to a change m the advertisement of Cook County College. Miss Rees intimates that she is prepared to arrange for a regular school omnibus from de Lautour r,oad and Harris street to the school gate m the morning, and also for a return trip after the closing of school m the afternoon if such an arrangement is desired by a sufficient number of pupils. As the time is very limited application for seats must be made within a few days, or it will be impossible to charter a conveyance. The function to be held m the Scottish hall to-night m connection with the Burns anniversary is expected to be largely attended. All returned soldiers will be -admitted free. The proceeds are m aid of the Serbian Fund. A programme of Scottish items will be given, and the main feature of the gathering will be a lecture by Mr J. Craigie, M.P., of. Timaru, who mil deal with the life of Robert Bums. Mr Craigie has been a, keen student of the immortal bard, and his lecture should prove very interesting. Through an alteration iii the regular shipping arrangements between Napier and Gisborne next month (says the New Zealand Times), the J. C. Williamson management are faced with an awkward problem with regard to the Muriel Starr Company. Tlie North Island tour had been booked so that the company •vac to leave Napier by the Westralia m February 1, m order to appear for tliree nights at Gisborne, but this arrangement wa« rendered impossible by the Westralia being taken off the coastal run. The difficulty has been got over by tbe J. C. Williamson management chartering the Tangaroa from Richardson and Co. to make a special trip with the company to Gisborne. I Archibald Ferguson, of Kaiti, failed to appear at the Police Court this mornw g '.T-*i be ££ c Afa, J or A * G - Beexe and Mr HE. Hill, J. P.

Campbell, gave evidence as to finding tho bull m Wainui road on December 31, but it was refractory, and ho could not drive it to the pound himself. Eventually he got it to defendant's gate', and Mrs Ferciison let it through. He asked Mrs Ferguson for the 10s which he had agreed to nay a man to assist him drive the animal to the pound, and she told him .to call next morninir. Witness did so. but defendant refused to pay the 10s. *hrf offered witness 2s. Tt was" n vicious tvi'l. and was fighi#ie- with another bull throufrh tbe fence.

Messrs Samson Bros, have received instructions from Mr Archie Young, proprietor of the Poverty Bay Billiard Booms, Lowe street, to sell on Saturday afternoon his business by public uction as a going concern. The rooms are well known and contain three full-sized tables and the complete accessories aiid furniture of an up-to-date saloon. The whole of the space on page 8 is occupied with a very attractive advertisement—attractive, that is, for those who believe m saving money. In these times, when prices are soaring steadily upwards, it is a very big consideration to be able to. buy 20s worth of goods for IBs, and m special cases for much less. At Messrs 0. Rosie and Co.'s summer sale, which, begins to-morrow, the prices will be found to be as attractive as ever.* ■y'-f- torrential rain of Saturday last fou I an inlet through the ventilatois of the Bon Marche, and ani unfortunate quantity of drapery was damaged. A special inset m tho —erald announces that on Wednesday next and remaining days of the week, every damaged article Mil be cleared out at astounding low prices to ensure a speedy exit. Tlie Bon Marche are. holding their usual summer clearing sale and huge further reductions on the damaged goods must draw a big crowd for. big bargains.* Chas. Chaplin gives by far the best exhibition of his exceptional abilities as a comedian, acrobat, juggler and dancer m his farce comedy "Shanghaied," now being screened at the World's Pictures. The music of tho symphony orchestra proved a revelation under the able conductorship of Mr W. M. Smith, each changing scene being , perfectly followed m theme by appropriate melodies, a feature which adds doubly to th© interest m the subject holding the screen. Ibis programme appears finally tonight." , J W. R. Clarkson, gentlemen's outfitter Coronation Buildings, Gladstone road.— IV is to the. advantage of the men folk of Gisborne to pay this store a visit, as C'arkson is holding a sale of sales.

Li order to provide the necessary accommodation for ' the ever-increasing '"jmber of pupils at the Napier Boys' Hfigh School, the Governors have just completed arrangements for the purchase of 25 acres of land, with a frontage on the beautiful Tutaekuri River, within a few chains of the sea beach, and jiuwt includes tbe boundaries of the town of Napier. Tlie new site is an admirable one for the purpose, and the school can look forward to even better scholastic results than those shown m the meritorious records of the past. The school was established m 1872, and has a record second to none m the Dominion, Napier's genial climate having undoubtedly had a beneficial influence on pupils' physical and mental development. The school is under tlj© direction of Mr W. A. Armour, M.A., M.Sc, assisted by one of the most highly-qualified and able staffs m the country. Although great attention is given to the mental education of the boys, their physical wellbeing receives just as keen and capable supervision, and m that direction the school is jusiily proud of the athletic powerp of its present and past pupils.
