ANSWERS AND NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Te Nihotahi of Parekarangi, Rotorua, wishes it to be known that he is the owner of a fine timber bush, situate between Taupo and Rotorua, containing large totara, rimu, miro, and matai trees, some of which are six feet in diameter, and tall in proportion. Any European or Maori in want of timber can be supplied on application as above. Henare Pangopango should obtain a proper Crown title to his land, and then make a will leaving it to his children. This would prevent others from defrauding them of their rights, as he fears. We have received an anonymous letter from TJawa, complaining of the drunken conduct of certain Natives there, and requiring us to publish their names. The writer must send his name. Henare Keepa of Kereru, Patea, wishes it to be known in the Ahuriri district that the price of potatoes at his settlement, from the Ist of July nest, will be £1 per cwt., owing to a failure in the crops. We have received the letter from A. K. Patene, Secretary of the " Raglan and "Waikato Native Company," enclosing the " Rules and Regulations "of the Company. We cannot, however, discover what object the Company have in view, further than making money; and we are not told how this is expected to be done. If the Secretary will be good enough to give us some fuller information on the subject, whether the Company intend to engage in mercantile speculations, or to inaugurate some local industry, our readers will then be in a better position to judge of its merits than by the mere publication of the " Rules and Regulations " as forwarded to us. Letters received from Hetaraka te Tawhero, Hamiora Tupaea, Horomona Hapai, Mohi Horua Taharangi, and from Rotorua Natives, respecting a meeting held at Tama-te-Kapua.
The Subscription to the WaTca IMLaori is 10s., payable in advance, per year. Persons desirous of becoming subscribers can have the paper posted to their address by forwarding that amount to the Editor in Wellington.
