TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I have boon waiting to sco Mr Hirst slay “Agriculturalist,’' but I hoc bo is taking it very steadily, as bo advised tha Riverton people to do with the proposed harbor. Mr 11. need not give ns that advice, as tbo incomo of your present Harbor Hoard (.C3O a year), Mr Editor, will keep thorn pretty steady. Rivet ton has boon going pretty stealy, but on the down line, ever since it joined bands with Oropuki in that paying piece of railway known as the Orepuki branch, and now to redeem tbornsalvos they want the agriculturalists ot the Western District to launch out into this grand and noble idea of building ; a pier at the point to lie a few fishing boats j to. as tbo crafts of which we used to have j about a score have sailed away to never return By the Wity, Mr Editor, tell me how will they take the Wave to To Anau Lake. If via Thornbury, I’ll be on tbo look out. Kindly let me know. Thou the Riverton farmer makes a big splash with his thousands, but where are the forty and nine.
