A butter and cheese factories course will extend over four or five weeks. The Late Fatality. At the inquest on the body of Berber Palmer, the evidence showed that the deceased must have had the gun at full cock, and in taking it up quickly to fire it must have slipped and the trigger caught in some scrub. Deceased’s brother had fixed up a tourniquet on the wound admirably, but Dr Purdy stated that even a medical man could not have saved him with such a wound. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.

The Uriwera Natives. Telegrams received by the Government from the Uriwera country state that the recent jeoreros with the natives were satisfactoiy, and the survey is going on quietly. The Tukos were reluctant about the road going beyond Ahikeru, but their opposition was apparently more of a protest than anything else, and as soon as they saw it was no use they gave way. Roads will be laid off between Galatea and Whakatane, and Te Whaiti and Ahikeru. The natives of Ruatuhuna were very determined in opposition at first,but the Hon.Mr Carroll told them if there was any trouble a permanent force would be stationed there, and the Government would let loose the whole of the unemployed on the road between it and Waikaremoana. Not long after they withdrew their opposition. The Hon. Mr Carroll is now on his way to Gisborne via Wairoa. The Midland Railway. CHRISTCHURCH, June 11.
