“ Many hands make light work,” is an axiom that was exemplified at Tauherenikau camp a few days ago. At Tauherenikau a camp is being constructed in four sections, in order that the men arriving from the four military districts (Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury, (and Otago) may be segregated.

One thousand soldiers were detailed for the work, and in an hour a road of five hundred yards in length, with a width of from twelve to fifteen feet was formed.
