TAHORA NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) On ing to the very wot weather we are enduring, shearing has not started in this locality, but two or three sheds will commence operations immediately the weather clears sufficiently . The lambing percentages were fairly good, ranging from G 5 to 80 per cent. Messrs. Cloland Bros, had <0 p-r cent, of Jambs from a flock of two thousand ewes. The settlers’ chief, concern now is to keep tiro grass down, long grass not being desirable for sheep. On the now burns the rye-grass and clover are hard to keep in hand. T'io chief topic of conversation in here is the election. You hear it discussed everywhere—in woolsheds, in bush camps, and over the front gate. Tahora always did take its politics seriously. On this occasion it will give a block vote for one of the candidates, hut I won’t say which one—you will find out on polling day. I understand that Mr. C. McCutchan has been appointed Returning Officer " and Mr. P. Olccson for Kohuratahi.
