On every hand we have it cheerfully admitted that if our swamp lands can be brought into production the gain to the district and to the Dominion as a whole will be incalculable.

Three Ministers of the Crown have already indicated their intention lo be present, and members of Parliament, representatives of local authorities, and business and commercial interests throughout Ihe whole province, ar.d representative settlers are turning out la sec what we have to show them. The League seeks the co-operation of Hamilton town and country, and the Waikato district generally, in making this occasion one long lo be remembered in these parts.
