The proposal to join up the railway line on the,West Const between Jnangahua and Westport is receiving very strong support, states a Christchurch paper. At a meeting- of the Progress League executive, Mr. A. G. Henderson said : “The Government is seized of the fact that the line is one of the most important in New Zealand in view of the present industrial situation. The Government realises Hint access must bo given to the Buffer coalfields and 'whether the league's policy is or is not to push that railway, it is some salisfacj tion to those people in Canterbury who ' wished the line constructed to know that, their views are held by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Public Works.” The'remarks bio feat performed by a stock Overland “4” Car at the Denver, i Colorado, Show has attracted much attention. Between forty arid fifty times the Overland “4,” decorated! with a “property'’ horse’s head and tail, and with a driver in jockey’s dress, made an eighteen-foot jump over a brush hurdle. It is calculated that the impact, each time the car landed, was equal to a 42, 104 foot-pound blow, and the fact that the car emerged from the terrific ordeal without damage, speaks volumes for the wonderful new three-point suspension springs of Overland “4.” No one who owns an Overland “4” would want to put the car through .such ounishnient, but. it is gratifying to knovrit could lie done. This is only one of the features that make Overland “4” famous. *' Get further particulars from A.
