Mr Eawson, resident engineer, has let the work of plate laying 011 tho railway at this cud to R. Park and party of 17 mou. They will proceed with this job at once and continue to the Teromakau if Buftiuiont expediton is shown, the Department reserving to itself the power of stopping in aud resuming the work if not carried on as rapidly aB oan reasonably bo expected. Simultaneously with this the work of b 1 Hasting will also be carried on by M'G-urk and parly of 16 men, power of resumption being also retained by the Department. With reference to the expedition to be used we learn that it is not expected ballasting will be done quicke l " than two miles a month. Picked men under cont r act do not work quicker than three miles a month. It is obvious, therefore, that we cannot expect to see the lino open so soon as the Queen's Birthday; ib will probably take two or three months longer.

A contemporary ha 3 the following : —All tough timber, when the logs are being sawed into lumber of any kind, whether scantling, boards, or planks, will spring badly wben a log is sawn in the usual manner, by commencing ou one side and working toward the other. In order to avoid this, it is only necessary to saw off a slab or plank alter* nately, from each side, finishing in the middle of the log. We will suppose, for example, that a log of tough timber is to be sawed into scantling of a uniform size. Let i.ho sawing bo dono by working from one side of the log to tho other, and the end of the scantling will be of the desire 1 size, whilo at the middle some of thorn will measure 0110 iuch broader than at the ends. 4-fter the log has been spotted, saw oft' a slab from one side - f then move the log over, and cut a similar slab from the opposite side. Let calculations be made before the second is cut off, so Ibu^ there will be just so many cuts — no more, no less— allowing for the kerf of every cut. If the log is to be cut into three-inch scantling, for .example, saw a three-inch plank,

from each sido until thoro is a pieco 6|

inches thick left in the middle. Tho kerf of tho saw will remove about one-fourth of an inch. Whon a timbor log is sawn in

this way, the cuts will bo of uniform thick"

ness from end '0 end. Now turn the log down and Baw tho cuLs tho other way, in the same manner, and the scantling will not only be straight, but of a uniform size from one end to the other, if tbo saw bo started correctly.
