Since the opening the river hao been more or less discoloured all the time and at present it is still dirty.

An Edievale settler (writes the Lawrence correspondent of the Bunedin "Star") has just netted about £12.000 in a deal in. laud. About eight years - ago he acquired a tract of 5000 acres of 'agricultural and pastoral'.'land at £1 an acre, and later on bought an adjoining farm of less than 700 acres.at £6 10s an acre. The other day he, got £5 10s an acre for the block, and as; the buyer does not take possession until February, the settler expects to make £I6OO out of his wool clip.

A mesftinJfr"' ivas held in ..the Wa.ima.ta Borough Council . Chambers on flKiesday evening to consider the question of :holding a . trades picnic .this year.',' Mr L. O'Callagha.n (chairman), stated- that there was £2 6s in hand. .He'understood that the friendly societies were, .willing to cornbin© and make a monster gathering. .'lt was decided that : a" combined picnic of employes and friendly societies be held :'n Krrottingly Park,/ahrL that it. be a. recommendation to the committtee to hold it. on the 23rd January. The various delegates from ihei friendly .sock-ties are also to report, to a. meeting on the 17th December. Canvassing is to. begin immediately: One of the changes/ incidental to the appearance of the new turbine ■steamer Maori in the ierry -.service" between Lyttelton and Wellington; will be a reduction of the duration of the voyage by at least two houns so far as that vessel is concerned. Instead of leaving Lyttelton on the arrival of the 5.25 train from Christchurch, with which the.early express from Dunedin connects, the Maori will leave upon the arrival of the 7.45 p.m. train, so that passengers from the south desirous of joining her will, if they choose, have the opportunity of "spending over two hours in Christehureh before they proceed to Lyttelton, As to the trip from Wellington, one convenience that will be eniove.d 'bv through passengers is that, when their steamer is the Maori, they wall, mabad weather should prevent it, be enabled to catch the first express for the south instead of the second express as at present. . .■ ~ ■-,-,. \ ■ ■■' A p#perty,. owner m Stafford.street was.

He had ascertained, however,' that verbal notice was given to the occupier of premises. He appealed to a " Herald" reporter for information, and the latter, turning up the "Electric Lines Act 1884 " reads that the Minister may construct, place and maintain electric lines; " under, in, irpon . . . any building in or upon, along, over and aero.-ii, or under any ... . street."

Auckland timber merchants, interviewed on the subject, generally agreed with the statement made- by Mr D. Goldie,. that there is at present an unprecedented shortage in the supply of kauri timber. The- reason, however, is not. because' of the extent of the export trade, but is to. be found in. the. excessive- demand %hich exists 'locally and the decrease of the general output; The scarcity is such in fact that the average miller hai> the greatest difficulty in coping with the: local demand. "There is? no getting away from;the fact." said Mr Goldie, "that the kauri is fast being worked out. We have to go away back into almost inaccessible places to secui*e it. It is likely that; another fifteen years will witness it." disappearance. It is too late to think of preserving it. There is absolutely no possibility of reproducing the kauri forests." A member of another leading firm of kauri timber merchants assured a Press representative that the situation was really".serious. In paet years it was always the custom of the Commissioner to throw fresh areas on the market when-; fat- vet; the mills intimated that they needed more timber. Now the millers were in a very awkward position. The Department's preservation .scheme is having a serious effect: on those millers who were encouraged to erect plants in different parti* of the- country, for in numerous they, have been compelled to close dt.-wn.
