" PROGRESSIVE TIMARU." Ratepayer" in a letter to the Christ- " Press," of a recent date gives tna following figures to indicate the respective progress of five ports:— i J - Total trade increase Hate year from per 1904 1890 cent. ! £ £ Wellington ... 6,576,450 2,615,028 65-9 Auckland- 5,761,101 1,688,778 41.4 Lyttelton • ... 4,476,795 716,029 19." i Dunedin ...... 3,631,079 : 468,725 l#.a imnaru ....... 1,112,507 866,865 3L4 ■ Thus, Ratepayer says';" Ti®»ra "is tMrd in the list of increase. But how can we r explain - the small increase of Lyttelton ? Tiaxaru has not robbed her to that- extent, for her tracts is only one-fourth of that of Lyttelton. . . Is not- the progress .of Timaru owing, to the fact that she has triumphed, by making a port where Nature never intended it to exist. . . ." " : THAT TIRED FEELING. '; ' A letter from the secretary to tile Southland Charitable Aid' Board , was. read: at -the Waltham Orphanage inquiry explaining now bq dealt with the tired 'hobo and - the weary deadbeat.. .It seems - that; wlien a plausible bundle of dirt and tatters presents his card to the Invercargill secretary, lets loose a harrowing flood of woe and misery, about a starving wife and 19 orphan rchildren, and craves for'bread andmeat, to-save,him from an untimely'grave, .he is at once told about a job he qan sju to and earn a crust-. The ..secretary.;:paints a sable picture of the supposed work, usually scrubbing or ?sueh like, and the weary one invariably, back .out with.-the old wheeze.about havmg-'fno tools. "Oh, I caii fiijd' yon ssome ; ' coiiie back in half an hour," says the obliging secretary. The latter . ;h|is all sorts, and conditdar.s of men before nim .as supplicants—old and voung, married., and .sinjgle, fat and out all ~ the Toiotley at tbe end of. ihe-,hy f-hour; and it is not niade -ciear tliat' even that one solitary exception returned to work.
