The Examiner (PUBLISHED DAILY.) FRIDAY. NOV. 27, 1891. LAND ADMINISTRATION.

It will be gratifying to settlers that at its meeting yesterday the Wellington Land Board decided the utmost benefit should be given to settlers by the Crown Lands ranger in their valuations for improvements. Of late there has been a tendency on the part of rangers to cut down the value of settlers improvements as far as possible instead of estimating, as should be the case, the cost of the work to the settler. The Wellington Land Board will gain the confidence of the settlers that they are trying to help them and to push bona fide settlement by such a policy. Of late there has been a feeling of insecurity and that the ranger is the tite barnacle who is to be a thorn in the side of the selector of Crown lands, and whatever may be said to the contrary we know this has had an injurious effect in that many who would make first-class settlers are afraid to take up Crown land. The system of extorting the uttermost farthing has not been confined to the Wellington Land District but to Hawke’s Bay as well, and we have seen great wrongs done to bona fide settlers by the unjust or unfair reports of the rangers.

Ou our fourth page will be found the counclusion of bur report of the Waipawa County Council meeting. Major Marshall, a well-known Rangitikei settler and formerly of the 05th regiment is dead.

Work has been resumed on the Maknri Gorge Road by men under Government. Master P. Halliday had bis leg cut with a slasher above the knee at Makairo yesterday. The Patangata County Council have re-elected Mr J. Mackersey as chairman and appointed Messrs Mackersey and McHardy delegates to the U.D.C.A. The newly-ulected mayor of Palmerston has invited the local Press representatives and councillors to a banquet in celebration of his return. Does His Worship hear ? There is a rumor in Wellington that Bir Julius Yogel may be a possible successor to Lord Onslow.

The Salvation Array propose to open their new barracks at Mangatainoko by a tea meeting to-night, and frequent meetings will be held on Saturday and Sunday. Mr J. Vile looks like having a walk over for the vacancy on the Pahiatua Town Board.

Our Pahiatua representative writes: — I hear that the Minister. has refused to allow the diversion of the money voted for the Tiraumea-Makairo bridge, and which was sought to be used for the Ngaturi bridge. This is a pity, as the later structure is urgently wanted. William Harris, charged with complicity in a watch stealing case in Wellington, was arrested in Makuri by Constable Cameron. Accused was brought before Mr A. Reese, J.P., at Pahiatua and remanded to Wellington.

Mr Tosswill, the Hon. Secretary of the Pahiatua Athletic- Society, is to bo congratulated iu having secured the services of Mr Ilcmpton as his assistant. We have been requested to remind intending competitors in the chopping and cross-cutting events of the Daneiirke Friendly Societies’ sports that entries close with the secretary of the joint committee on Saturday, Feed is very plentiful around Norse, wood this season. Cattle too are going up in price, .£6 being offered and refused for cows that would not have brought more than X'2afew months ago. There are a large number ot people down with influenza at Ormondvilfe, Norsewood, and Makotukn. There are also a few cases at Dauevirko. Mr Ptior’s cure for the disease is growing popular, and much is sent away daily. The snags want removing from the Mangahao ford, Mr Gregory's man had a nice experience there on Saturday, having to unload his cart iu the middle of the ford and carry about half a ton of goods to the bank through water waist deep, Getting assistance, the trap was got out after 3 hours hard work and delay. The driver it cured him of iaflueoaftt

There are now nine men employed on the Makairo road works. Mr G. Gilbert has a five roomed house and orchard etc. for sale. The Woodville Tennis Club is starting a handicap major and minor handicap tournament immediately. A Parliamentary paper just to hand shows the expense of the Auckland hospital enquiry to have been £2 ( J4. Dr Mirbach’s allowance was £lO5, with £2B foa travelling expenses. There is a good deal of dissatisfaction at Kumeroa over the way in which the school there was closed without notice to parents who continued to send their children without being aware of the state of things. Dr and Miss Ditchings, of Napier, passed through to Wellington by yesterday’s express. Dr Ditchings has been very ill and looks much shaken, but Miss Ditchings hopes that the change and attention will effect improvement. At the meeting of the Pahiatua County Charitable Aid Committee the Clerk reported having received £SO from the U. D. C. A. Board and the usual amounts were paid to those receiving relief. Mr Fountains has generously handed the Band £1 in aid of their funds, and regrets his inability to be present at the concert to-night. Mr Harrison, secretary of the Eastern Silver Mining Company, Zeehan, Tasmania, who has been touring the Wellington province and lecturing on the Zeehan field, will deliver a free lecture in Woodville on Monday next at 4 p.ra; Mr Harrison is at present at Palmerston N. In last Gazette 4000 acres on the Pahi-atua-Palmerston road, and 4000 near the Manawatu Gorge are withdrawn . from forest reserves. The Pahiatua County Council require tenders for 8 miles of formation on the Masterton-Mangahao road. The work will be divided into four' contracts. The Council a'so call for tenders for the grass seed on the roads. A correspondent writes from Danevirke that Sunset, Clio, and Penguin did a two mile gallop yesterday over hurdles, the pace being fast for the distance. The old horse, Penguin, is m good form, but dwells a little at his fences, and his sporting proprietor expects to make it a bit lively for some of the horses at Woodville this season. Richards rode Sunset, Brown Clio, and Cowper steered the old ’un. A valuable horse belonging to Mr W. Haines, of Danevirke, got into an old well yesterday, his fore feet being free. Willing bauds were soon at work, a part of the bank was cut away, and the horse assisted to extricate his hind quarters, after being in the pit for upwards of an hour. This is the second horse that has got into the same well. The Foley Dramatic Company played to a good house at Danevirke last evening. The pieces staged were “ The Pardon” and “ The Irish Diamond.” The audience applauded freely throughout the evening. Rev. H. Van Staveren, Chairman of the Wellington Benevolent Trustees proposes that a piece of land near each of the large centres should be set apart by the Government, to which people seeking relief could be sent to earn their own living. In Holland there are, he explained, two places called Friedrickshall and Wilhelmshall, which are used for such a purpose, and he thought that the system ought to be adopted in New Zealand. If the Board could get a piece of laud 100 or 200 acres in extent, a suitable building could be put [ up and furnished for ,£2OOO, and his firm conviction was that such an institution could easily be made self-supporting. The programme for the Band Concert to be given in Bickertoa’s Had this evening is published elsewhere. It will be seen that besides the tableaux referred to by us yesterday, there will be songs by Messrs Pike, Dowling, G. W. Hall, Mrs Chadwick, and Miss Crawford; a display of ventriloquism by Mr Andrew Thompson ; acrobatism by those famous professonals the Connor Bros.; a comic sketch in which Messrs A. Thompson and G. Hall will enact a crusty old bachelor and his servant respectively; and overtures by the Band. Altogether a very strong and varied programme, and we hope to see a big house. A meeting of the Gymnastic Club was held last evening, Mr C. Smith in the 1 chair. Messss Buck and Hall were appointed auditors. As there was a small deficiency in the accounts it was decided to levy Is on each adult member, and to pay outstanding accounts as soon as the levy and outstanding subscriptions were collected. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Mr Florence for his exertions on behalf of the Club as Hon. Sec. and Treasurer, and to .Messrs [Nicholson and Keyser, Captain and vice-Captain, for their gratuitous services as instructors. Votes of thanks were also accorded to Messrs A. Rosenberg and W. Thomas os custodians and caretakers, and to Mr T. J. Mitchell for his efforts for the welfare of the Club. Messrs Seymour and Nicholson undertook to settle Mr Damages account for masks and foils. It was decided to close the gymnasium until April next; GOOD MORNING! Have you used PEARS’ SOAP. SOOtc SANDER & SONS’ EUCALYPTI EX TRACT.—Under the distinguished patron age of his Majesty the King of Italy, as per communication made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, through the ConsulGeneral for Italy at Melbourne, 14th March, 1878. Awarded Diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market, products of simple distillation, forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for our Pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per infomation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, 2nd March, 1879, we state: — It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Borland Greifswald (Prussia), and reported by Dr Shulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Directory of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and ether substances, adherent to primary dis filiation, will develops the senative qualities proper to the plant. All arudo oils, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to, the named authorities among the turpinetines which are of insignificant medicinal value and abandoned long since as an internal modicalment. Tfie crude oils, or_ so-called ; Eucalypti Extracts, are descernible— L. By their deficiency in pungent odor : (which our product, tho only genuine i Eucalypti Extract, develops most freely 1 ihrough its surplus of oxygen). _ i I. By their alcoholic, thin and mobile ap < pearauco being reduced in specific clea j sity through the presence of acids. j !. By their taste, the result of the con- I tracting tendency of resins and tenants I If these crude oils, or so-called Eucaly- e iti Extracts, are applied by mistake ( n cases of oroqp, bronchitis, diphtheria, c uternal iullammaiions, dysenlry, &c., the c onsequencos are most appalling.
