PUKEOKAHU NOTES.
(Front Our Own Correspondent.) Since my last notes we have ; been again visited hy rain, snow, and la&t, but not least, "Jack Frost."
Several si.ps have come down on the Ohutu-Pukeokahu Road, and all wheel traffic has again been blocked tilUthe removal of such slips' from the public road.
Great interest is being shown in this parti by t'lie settlers over the event of the railway opening to Taihape; and from what I have heard, all the pioneer settlors are going to see what our "Dick" and "Joe" have got to say for themselves on the 10th.
Peaob. trees about the dista'ict 'are out in bloom, and appear to be making a. good!-,-' show for the year.; while tiie weeping willow, trees are what I may term "a sight for core «yes." # While on the mid-day mail train some time back I heartl -ar young lady pronbunce the word "Pukepapa" Station in rather a funny way. Om* fair friend in question, as she passed the 'Station, reimarked to % friend of hers, "Oh, that was the Puke-papa 'Station that we passed." Needless to say, a general smile went roxmd the carriage.
