Hy some peculiar condition of the ai-moxphere the coast to the northward far beyond tlie> normal hori/on was brought' inio view, and the hills- of Bank's Peninsula stood up in dark purple hummocks acroi-s the set. As it is probable thatl some people may he prejudiced against the- "Oregon" pin»> timber now being landed from the isteamer fndravelli, through its name- "Oregon" indicating an American, source, it may he well to explain that the name- "Oregon".. is that of the tree. The. first timbor front this species of pine was cut in the American State of Oregon, and the name then given to it has. naturally enough, 'been ap: plied to that kind of timber, no matter where ii was grown. Hence the same species of pine glowing in New Zealand is still ''Oregon." The Indravelli's cargo grew on British soil—in British Columbia. Perhaps it is not. generally known thou iv night-watchman and a <log are perambul-/ latin"- Messtr, Thomson's premiers, the scene of the late fire. Last night Messrs Thomson and W. Robinson, and'the dog, named Ginger, had an exciting chase two would-be burglars, whom the easily'-' arrived at goods had afctVticted to the back section. The watchman had gone to turn some .-tuff, and observed the shadow of a ntan on one side of the fence and another shadow on i.he other side. Gjnger having a violent temper tried to make short work of a pair of logs, but, such wonderful time was made that the watchers had to'retire without the satisfactory result which will probably happen nex' time there is an inroad on the premises. It. may not be generally known that the Hon. W. Hall-Jones i-> a loyal supporter of the Salvation Army, and the members of that body, respect- him accordingly. When it- became known, 'that he was going Home. Adjt. Brown, commanding officer of the Army in Timaru wrote si letter of congratulation to him. -In reply to ihi* came the following telegran* from Mr Hall-Jones : —"Thanks for your congratulations and your blessing which I warmly appreciate. 1 wish yon continued success ..in your great and good work. Kind regards "to all." Adjutant Brown adds that Mr Halt-Jones ha-- b-en ■<■ :!.- habit of sending it substantial donation to the local branch of the army twice a year, and his removel Home will he greatly regretted by them.
