[By Telegraph—Press Association.]

Tho Hon. W. Fraser, Minister c£ Public Works, was welcomed yesterday by the school children and the Chamber of Commerce at Apiti, and by members of tno Chamber of Commerce at Kimbolton. In reply to deputations asking for a branch railway from Feilding the Minister said he was agreeably surprised at the vast exteat of the country waiting for thorough development. Ho recognised that until they had good railway communication it. would be impossible to land profitable markets for produce. Although he could not pledge himself to the construction of a line he would undertake to have a survey made for a light line of railway and would try individually to obtain for them their hearts' desire.
