The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1888. NEW ZEALAND AT MEL BOURNE EXHIBITION.

Very contradictory reports have from time to time appeared as to the figure New Zealand presents at the Melbourne Exibition. It appeurs to be conceded on all hands that the representation given of our grain and wool is all that could be. desired but the weight of testimony indicates that the mineral productions and resources of the Colony are very inadequately set fortb. Perhaps however, we should write m the past and not the present tense, for on the fact becoming known efforts were at once put forth m various quarters to supply the deficiency and we are glad to observe that this has now to a large extent been accomplished. The Mel bourne correspondent of an exchange writes: — "Owing to the complaints that were sometime ago made concerning the exhibits of minerals m the New Zealand Court at the Exhibition, a largo quantity of quartz taken from about fifty different mines, chiefly m the Nerth Island, was recently Bpnt to Melbourne by the Government. Mr T. Fergus, the Minister of Justice and Defence, and Mr J». Gordon, Inspecting Engineer of the Mining Department, were appointed to assist Bir J. Hector m making arrange ments for its effective display. There was no space available for it m the mineral section, but a large arch is now being contracted on the frontage to the Grand Avenue of Nations, with panels which are to bo inlaid with the quartz. The arch rises to a height pf about 30ft. Some of the panels are as high as 26ft, and although the structure will form a striking trophy, it will not carry much information to the mineralo gist. One of Mr Fergus* duties m Melbourne tt»b to report on the mineral exhibits. He is of opinion that the complaints made were premature, inas much as at the time the whole of the exhibits had not been displayed." It is ,a great pity that a thoroughly worthy representation of New Zealand's mineral resources was not secured at the outset, but " better late than never." i

LOCAL AND GENERAL

To-morrow will be observed as & holiday at the offices of tha banks transacting business m Ashbarton and Rakaia. Mr O. E. Hugo will give a leotnre on the "{First Artist " this evening at the rooms of the Ashburton Art Society. Admission will be free. The eleventh annual ihow of the Agricul tural and Pastoral Association will be held to-morrow- The number of exhibits is very good, and with fine weather tha dhow should be m ev«ry way a luooeßi. ...r,.;^ Further testi of ore from the Wangapeka oilvo* mine has been made by Professor Skey, of the Government Laboratory, Wellington, . with "h result respectively of 90oz 12dwt 12gr and 990z 18dwt of silver to the ton. The annual onoampment of tht Victorian Cadet force has just taken place. Nearly four thousand boya from various parts of the i Colony took part m the demonstration, andao quitted themselves (aaoording to all accounts) remarkably wall. At Oamaru on Monday, Patrick Daley, who was arreited on the eve of the sailing for England of the barque Primera, on which he had shipped under an assumed name was sentenced to a month's imprisonment for wifo desertion. The " Otago Daily Timoß " reports that an Australian firm has contracted to take 30 tons of this year's make of Gore Factory cheese. The price is not made public but it is understood that it is a satisfactory advance upon last year's average. The London correspondent of the "Sydney j Morning Herald " writes that the physique of the Native Football Team excited the greatest admiration wherever they had up to the time of writing appeared. They were to j play most of their London matohes on the Riohmpnd gronnd. Mr G. W. Taylor, who recently made the munificent offer of £50,000 to the Con gregationalist denomination for the founding of a college, a grammar school for boya and a high school for girls, is, we learn, a man who a few years ago was nigh penniless. Now he is three times over a millionaire, and every penny of it made out of land. He is going to settle m England with his family, and intends contesting a Welsh constituency. The " Ohristchuroh Press " reports that a baby, eighteen months old, the daughter of Mr and Mra Harrey, of PouJson street, Addington, wqb drowned m a washtub on Wednesday morning. About a quarter to ten their three ohildren, inoluding the deoeased, went to play m a workshop at the rear of the house, and when Susan Harvey went to look for them about ten minutes later she found the baby m the tub, which contained some water. The mother and a neighbor tried to restore animation, but every effort failed. At the meeting of the Selwyn County Oounoil on Tuesday the Inspector of t Slaughter-houses, Mr O'Oallagban, reported [ that he had had occasion to .caution one or two butchers on account of their buying wretched calves, killing them, blowing into the flesh to inorease its size, and improve its appearance, and selling it to their oustomers. Mr O'Gallßghan states that he has known calves bought from Is to 2s 6d eaoh by the butchers who follow the praotioe, for which he has cautioned them. It is satisfactory' to know that they have promised not to do the like again' Referring to the reoent announcement by cable that there is a phanpe, m the event of a certain contingency arising, of Bißhop Moran being translated to Ireland as an arohbishop, the "Otago Daily Times " Bays :— On en. quiry we learn that tho thing is a pure canard. First of all a vaoanoy has to occur, and when that has happened the next atep | must be the assembling of the olergy of the \ diooeee, who reoommend three personß, whose names are submitted to the bishops of the province, and the recommendation, coupled with their observations thereon, is forwarded to the Holy See for confirmation. We may add that it is m very rare oases, indeod, that the Popo seleots outside of the three ecclesiastic's whose qamea have been forwarded to him," The Rev Jamea M'Kee, of Waimate, sends to the looal paper an extraot from a letter from a friend residing m the Highlands of Scotland, to whom he had sent a frozen lamb from New Zealand. His Scottish correspon dent, says : — " Tho frozen lamb you so kindly sent arrived m perfect condition, just .as if fresh from the butcher. Wathin thirty hours of the arrival of the steamer m port it was safoly delivered here, haying oome by express from London, It is really beautiful mutton, has an excellent flavor, and it is hard to believe that it was not slaughtered within a few miles. Wo Bent a small portion to several of our neighbors, all of whom deolared it equal, if not superior, to any of our Highland mutton or lamb. It would sell readily here at from 7d to 9d per lb, if any of the butohera would keep it." We reooived the other day a qablogram wbioh read t' Dr Higgins, of Meatb, who' was appointed coadjutor to Cardinal Moran, 7ia& been designated Bishop Antip/tcllers } an attached to any See. Ho will not, however, havt tho right of suocfeding the Cardinal m event of his death or removal.' 1 In publish ing it we omitted the words italioised above as being unintelligible, there being no such word as " Antiphellers " as we know of, m Latin or Greek, or, for the matter of that, m any other language, On looking up our lexicons we conolude that the word intended waß antcccttcns meaning " superior to others." If so, what is meant is that Bishop Higgina will take precedence of Diocesan Bishops, but that Buoh precedence will oonfer no right ol succession to the Oardinalate. If this expla nation be incorrect, then perhaps some classicist will kindly solve the riddle fop us. ' Our Melbourne correspondent givei the following on. dits as to the Governorships of certain of the Australian colonies. " Some Bay that Sir Gerald Graham, who refused to accept the Governorship of Bermuda recently, is to be appointed to Queensland ; others tha.t Sir W. F. Bobinaop, at present Governor of South Australia, has been promised the post. Then again there is an old Governor, the Marquis of Normanby— a rival faotion deolara he is going for it, As to South Australia, it is rumoured that the Right Hon. Henry Chaplin, M.P., is to fill that vaoanoy; whilst as to New South Wales, Bomebody has given Qut that Lord Brassey is likely to be ap pointed. A|l sorts of rijmours are m the wind regarding the new Vice-Bogul nominees, and a new field for betting— the " Governor's Stakeß "—has lately come into vogue. Sir Henry Looh, aa I wrote previously, has a year's extension, so Victoria just now is quite out of the running." A gentleman staying at Government Home, Melbourne, was the ojihep day ohatting with Lady Looh after dinner, and the talk' veered round from the weather, the Exhibition, and the races, to that most interesting of topics— the ladies. In her sprightly way the hostess dilated on this fasoinating subjeot, and rather rallied her oompanion on his-admission that as a rule he did pot get on very well with the gentler sex. Fie ! fie 1 Mr—,'? she said archly — " You don't gat on very wefi with ladies? I am surprised, But let me give you a hint if you want to really win their ffavor. Now, with very young girls — just out {or instance — a man should be respeot'fpl ip tho extreme. It flatters them, you know, and gives them a gleaming idea of their importance. With more matured young ladies a man should be bolder, more gallant, more effusive ; and with married ladies he should become confidential, and tell them all about himself. It flatters their importance too, you know. Now, said her ladyship, with an aroh smile — " Follow out these precepts, and I am sure you will become very popular with our sex." As will be seen by a telegram m another column this year's Bhow at Timi&ru yap pnp of the most successful ever held there, horse* being better represented than any other class of etook, and tho show of thoroughbreds, hacks, and hunters being very large and good. The exhibits generally were of a higher standard than usual.' r |ho phampion draught entire was Mr R. Davie'a Marquis pf Salis bury, Guy Fawkes being awarded the prido of plaoe as best thoroughbred sire. In sheep there was a large show of morinoa, and a B&len3is exhibit of Border Leiceßtera. Lin coins were al(jq well represented. Mr Max Friedlander wan almost thq only exhibitor of Hampshire Dowm, securing til thp prizes except for ewes under eighteen months, m which Motion Mr A. M. Clark was the prize- ' winner. Mr Friedlander'i sheep were rnuoh admired, the lamba bping speoially noticed as of astonishing bi»3.

Lottera for the following persons, from plaoei beyond the colony, were received at Ashburton Poit Offioa during the month of September, and are now lying unolaimel : M. A. Collins, Mrs Oraaey, William Taylor, V Jamea Eobb (2). ■ > Yesterday morning a couple of ladi found a I Btranded whale on the beaoh near the Long- ! beaoh homestead. Tha creature, whioh is I over 20ft iD length, appeare to be a bottle nosed whale. Last night the station handa went to the beaoh, m force, with ropea and 1 other applianoea for dragging the whale on to dry land, but the uuited efforts of about fifty men proved unequal to the task which had i accordingly to be abandoned. To-day a number of men are engaged cutting up the monster as it Hob m the surf and bringing the pieaes to the shore, where they will be boiled down for the sake of the oil, a good deal of whioh is oxpeoted to be obtained. Profeißor Rollinson, the champion bicyclist, is announoed to give an exhibition of what oan be done by an oxpert on " the wheels " it the Rink de Paris on Saturday and Monday eveniDga. The Profeiaor, who won the championship of the world at Albany, U.S , shows some extraordinary evolutions, and among other things evokes great laughter by giving an example of a learnor's difficulties. The " Melbourne Argus " ia quite enthusiastio about him. Viiitors to the Rink may there fore antioipate a very pleasant evening'a entertaiment. This evening the cup will be presented to Mr Olark, and the raoe for the championship will come off. A very remarkable document (says our Melbourne correspondent) hat just been laid before Parliament, showing the number of Companies registered m Viotoria during the year ended May 1, 1888. From this it appears that no less than 261 companies have "been formed within the twelve months, and their aggregate capitals amount to the cheer ful sum of fifty-one millions. Twenty-one of them have a nominal capital of two millions, and one of three. Marvellous, ia it not ? and a wonderful proof of the astonish ing speculation going on m our midst. Some of th"» names too are awfully queer. There ia for instanoe, a "Quartz Tailing Promoters' Company," whatever that may mean. Then —name of alarming sound I— a " Climax Evaporating Company," and oh, paradox 1 a company called " The New Ohuroh of Australia Limited "—the first time I have ever heard of theology taking shelter under the Companies' Statute, or of a ohuroh started on •• limited liability " principles. Dr Newman, M.H.R., for Thorndon, Wei lington, who has just returned from a two months' visit to Australia has favored the " Ohristohuroh Telegraph " with hia i - m pressiona. He ia emphatically of opinion that the " boom " m Melbourne is fictitious and will speedily oome to an end. The land speculation ia conducted on a paper basis the usual terms being 5 per cent, cash, and 95 -per cent, on credit, and the results of auoh a system are not far to seek. Already the Banks are beginning to put on the " aorew," and signs are apparent of the coming collapse Dr Newman was struok with the faot that the colony of Viotoria had made hardly any progress so far as regards the country diatriots, and the producing interests. On the other hand, Dr Newman, m travelling through the South Island of this colony, waß greatly impressed with the immense progress which aettloment hadmade, and he appears to be firmly of opinion that m all the material elements of prosperity New Zealand ia m a far more favorable condition than Viotoria. SANDER and SONS' EUCALYPTI EX TRACT.—In protection of the worldwide fame our manufacture haß acquired all over the globe, we publish the following : — Hazard, M.D., Professor of General Pathology and Diseases of the Mind and Nervous System, says m an editorial published m the " Clinical Reoord : "— " We have examined half-a-dozen specimens of different manufactures the preparation of Sander and Sons was the only one that proved to be reliable and correspond ing to soientifio teats." Another conoootion oalled " Refined Extract of EuoalyptUß " has made ita appearance since. Thia produpt stands, according to Dr Qwen, v foremost m causing injurious effects. That gentleman communicates, at a meeting of the Medioal Sooiety of Yiotoria, that a ohild living at Fitzroy became most seffouiijr inaißpoaod inrough its use. In another case a lady states on the strength of statutory declaration that Bhe suffered cruelly from the efleota of the same ooncootion. To "guard the high reputation of our manufacture wo fee warranted m exposing 'the" above facts, and desire the public to exercise care and preo&u tion when buying SANDER and BQNS.— (Advt, 7

I. The absence of Mr Harper was apolo gised for chairman's statement. The Chairman said:— The Moant Hatt Road Board haa agreed to bear half the cost of the work required at the bridge near the alaughterhouae, Methven, and at the crossing on the Mount Hntt-Alford Forent road at Ohapman'a creek. With refeienoo to Mr Gerard's Application to pat the Btaok Moantalc trnok In repair, the Mount Hafct Road Board is willing to contribute the sura of £S lfh 3d, and with a like Bum from this Oounoil the sum of £19 18a 6d ia available Recording f o -the resolution p^Bsed at the hat meeting of the Oounoil, of whloh Mr Garard baa b9en Infarmad. The Council, however, will eea that Mr Gerard offers to repafr and make passable this traok for £30.— The Mlnlater for Pnbllo Worka forwards, for the Ooancll'fl Information, copy of a BUI to amend the Public Works Acts, whloh It ia proposed to Introduce Into Parliament next aeaalon, and requesta If the Council has any objections to make thereto the sime may be oommunloated to the Mini* ater.— Mr Allan, for the New Zealand and Australian Land Company, writea to object to the propoaed additional wafcor aupply from the R»k«la, and will require oom pensaflon for the land taken for the »aoe, and also Btateß his reason for opposing the scheme. — A letter from Mr MoHoey, re porting a fire had taken place Ia a planta tion <near to him will be read, nlao the Ranger's report thereon, Thla Is the aecond fire that baa taken plaoe In that locality,— The question of clearing gorß* from the road aide adjoining Gravel Re serve 2132, near Mayfield, aa asked to be done by the Rangltata Road Board, has been referred to theOoancil'a Solloltor.and the OoudoH will ccc that the Solicitor la of opinion that the Oounoil ia not liable for thla work. — The meeting of the Committee appointed to draw np boundaries of the proposed drainage district, South Rakala plaina, lapaed from a want of a quorum, and no further uteps have been taken m thla matter.— The Oommltte appointed to consider the quoation of supplying the Wakanul Fiat district with water from the river, Beach road, have met and will preaent their report to-day.— The aooountß for the six months endfng 30 September last, have been audited and the balance sheet haa been sent to the Auditor- General —The annual meeting to elect a Ohiirman for the ensuing year, has to take plaoe on Wedneadr, , 28th November, and on the Bame day a meeting of the Borough Council and this Oounoil is to be held to eleot two membora to represent the Borough and County on the Chari table Aid Board.— Tendera for grubbing gorae and trimming fences, plantation re aervea, have been accepted since last meeting and the work ia now m hand, also the fencing of reserve near the Sale yards, Tlnwald — There Ib the sum of £729 7 s 4d on account of rates outatand-; Ing. As thia balance la being paid In very slowly, I recommend legal proceedings be taken to reoovnr the amount. BNftlMEEB's REPORT The Engineer reported as follows :— Ohapman'a Creek : Aocompanied by one of the mtmbera for the Mount Hutt riding, I examined that portion of the creek at Drayton where Mr Chapman wishes a deviation to bo made, and appended is a further letter from him on the subject. The line he now, pro poses is Bhorter than that J reoommtndod, but ia nafc jit «uoh & safe distance from th.a existiDß creek, whioh skirts the garden and haa scoured to a considerable depth, besides being liable to overflow |at one or two points Mr Chapman expressed his willingness to maintain the new channel if the Oounoil mßdoit, and I think the stipulation should not be departed from, though he now Bug, geßts that the Council should undertake tha maintenauge al<jo, Th| now ohannei will scour more pt less, but that will not be a matter of much moment, bo lon{£ as |( does not enoraaoh on the garden ground, which ia the prlnojpal grievance. The total coat of the deviation would be about £2Q. Chapman's Creek Extension through Mesßra Holmes properties : In order to make provision for aome additional space alongside the present banks for depositing shingle from channel, whioh at these points requires clear* ing occasionally, it might be well to acquire a narrow strip for the purpose, Mr John Holmes informed me that he will be agree able to give the Courioil every facility for dealing with the ohannei m that way, or m any other, under an arrangement whioh will combine efficiency with eoonoray, though by doing so l|o would ngt necessarily homologate the Cp.unoiJ'a action. Overflow, North Ashburton River near Greenatreet : With referenoe to the petition on tbia subject I have inspeoted that portion of the river with a deputation from the settlers. The threatened portion is noarly opposite the aohool. I consider all that oould be at* tempted m present oircumßtanceß would be the erection of a flood-bank ten chains iq length, as pointed out, and protected aa described, and also willow facing on river bank, opposite lower end of flood bank- The cpst of earthwork would be about £12, and willow and gorae protection £15 ; m all £27. There ia already a low embankment part of the way, whioh has semd to lessen the overflow during last flood, but it requires to be raieed, strengthened, and extended to be of any material servioe against another flood. Hampstead Water Supply j I have prepared a Beotioh for a servioe from water race at the north-east corner of Domain to Wakanui road by way of north-east and Bouth-ea«* town belts, m length a mile and a quarter. The ooßt of thia with open road oroßßinga would be about £45, and the water would be delivered Bft below the surface at Wakanui road where it oroses the South-east Belt. I have not had an opportunity of conferring with the Borough Engineer as to the proposal for inoluding this Bupply m the soheme for the enlarged main from the Domain, but hope to do bo m two or three days. County Bridges : The timber ordered some time ago for repairs to deoking North and South Aenburton river bridges has oome to hand. The timber for Rangitata bridge is not yet forward. . Plantations : That portion of Beserve 2573 to the £|outh of Anama Railway Station haa been fenced and upwards of 80 sores ploughed — Tho contractor for ploughing, through injuries to horaea haß not been able to make rapid progress, and meantime the work ia at a atand, but will be Iresumed m a few dayß.—The gorse outting and grubbing m the various oounty plantations are being proceeded with satisfactorily,— 3?he fenping of Gravel Boserve 1422, Tinwald, will bs finished to-morrow. Plainß Water Supply : During tht month thi» servioe has been satisfactory throughout with the exception of the E raeei, whioh became charged with slimy vegetable matter i to iuoh an extent as to cause the supply m ' tht diitriot between the railway and sea to be intermittent. These rapea, wbjoh are fed from Pudding Hill stream Been*' more liable than the other raoes to bs affected m this way, I would suggest for tha half-yearly cleaning of races, whioh ia due now, that ths water be shut off the«o E raoau for tht purpose, and that a week henot, as otherwiie there will be trouble with them all through th« season. The overhaul of the other raooa can be accomplished with the water m them, and it would be well not to do so at thii season of the year. Tb,e Ashburton— Rangitata, and Mount Somera water supplies have been well main* tamed daring the mootb. A considerable improvement has reoently been effeoUd m the raoea m the latter district. chapman's oeeek The Engineer's report on thla Bubjtot, and a letter from Mi Chapman, were read and considered. After discussion, It waa resolved to !n r form Mr Chapman that the Connell would have nothing to do with the con ■traotlon of a leoond ohannei unleia ac guaranteed to maintain •uoh channel at hla own ooat. CHAPMAN'S OftlEK EXTBOTfIION. Thls'KQatjtor was referred to a Oommlitee ooniletlng of the Ohalrman, Mmbm Grlgg, Wright and MoMlliau, to tepqrtjto next r meeting, " ' J

BIVER OVERFLOW The Upper Ashbnrfcon Road Board wrote imiaaatiag their willingness to con tribute towards the work of preventing ovei flow of river near Greenstraet. A petition on this subj cfc had been raoaived &t the laat meeting from the aefctlorj In tha locality wbo asked for a subsidy of £ for every £ raised among them3filvea. It waa resolved to grant a subsidy of £1 for £1 for an amount np to £27, the amount to be charged against the riding la which tho work is undertaken. HAMP3TEAD TfATBR SUPPLY. The Engineer's report on this subjeot was read. The Chairman stated that the matter was now In tho handa of a conference of representatives of the Oonuty Council, Borough Council, and Hampstead Town Board. The oonferonoe had met once, but the mUter waa abill iv abeyanoe, and auother meeting would be held shortly, • GRAVEL REBKRVE AT TINWALD. It waa deoldod that a gato should be place! In fence lately erected aoaad gravel reaervo at Tinwald, and that the gaie should be left open ao that peroona attending the Saleyards could tether their horses on the reserve. WATER RAOES. The Engineer's suggestion" m regard to the oleaning of water races was agreed to. OBJECTIONS TO IRRIGATION, Mr Wright presented three petitions from landholders m the diotriot between the railway and sea, and Hinds and Ash barton rivers, protesting against the constitution of No. 4 irrigation district. At the last meeting of the Council a motion appointing a Committee to define the boundaries of No, 4 distrfot, m order that the ratepayers might petition for iti constitution, was carried. « The 6rst petition, which was signed by 21 ratepayers, was as follows :— " We, the anderaigned ratopayera of the Longbeaoh district, having heard that the Oounoll Dropoae to Irrigate the country marked No.. 4 on the sketch maps, beg to enter , our protest against the proposition, and ask you on no acoount to carry It out unless proper drains are provided for the surplus water, and we are guaranteed against damage through the Irrigation scheme." The seoond petition was wordud simi larly to the foregoing, and was Bigned by 28 ratepayers. The third petition, dgned by 23 rate payers waa as follows :— « We, the under iigned ratepayers resident m the Long beaoU road district, having learned that the Council propoaea carrying out a system of irrigation on the plains above the Southern railway line, and believing that we have already suffered to some extent, owing to the percolation from the present water supply, we therefore beg most respeotfnUy to protest against the eoheme being^arried oat, unless the Oounoil will guarantee as against any possible damage that may be caused to our reßpective pro perties by the said sohemo," Mr Wright, having read the body of eaoh petition, said that he nßed not ooonpy the tima of the Council by reading the signature*. Tbeie numbered 76, and iri oluded praotioally all the larger land ownera m the district comprised between the railway and sea, and from the Hinds to the Ashburtonrlver. It was swampy, low-lying ground, and the ownerß feared that If any scheme of irrigation were undertaken above the railway they would suffer. Many of tba settlers bad seen him, Bi^d they complained of the increased volume of the springs sinoa the water race* were made. They said that they had been to considerable expense m deepening their drains, and, rightly or wrongly, they attributed the increase m the volume of the springs to the water raoes. They, therefore, viewed with alarm the proposal to draw » very muoh larger body of water, from the rlrar. Mr B.rown Bald that a committee had been appointed to define the boundaries of the district, and the petition might be referred to them. Mr Ftledlander thought it would be time enough to ooniiider tho petition when the oommlttee a report came up Mr Wright eatd that m the meantime [he would move that the petitions be reoelved. Petitions reoelved, WATER R.AOB, RIVER EOAI). The committee appointed to consider $ha matter of a water supply at River road for Wakanui Flat reported that they met on October 16. At the meeting m question Me Brown urged that the request of the River Board ha granted, but the committee was not able to agree to the request. Mr Brown strongly protested against the report, and pointed out the hardship to I whloh the settlers were put by tde lack of water. The other members of the oommlttee expressed their regret that they <rere unable to support Mr Brown'sproposal. They were bound to oppose it however feeling that It would be highly dangerous to interfere with the river at that point. [ The report was adopted, and it was re solved on the motion of Mr Wright : " That the ratepayers on line of r*oe cut off by river encroachment, be exempted from any further annual water charged , until .the supply be reinstated." j PAYMENTS. Accounts were prssed for payment. THE PROPOSES ATJXILIABY SUPPLY. The following letter was reqelved from Mr W. L. Allan, the manager of the Acton estate \ — "l am given to understand that your Oounoll Intend taking a supply of water from the Rakaia, to supplement the present water supply. If I mistake not, you intend taking tho new raoe through ouc Sections 7131 and 7132. If such is the oise I beg to Inform you that this oompany strongly objeot to having any of their land out ap as it must bo by a large race, like what yon. are going to oonstruot, running through their pad docks. This company will claim oompea- Bation far th* land you will take for the oonstruotloQ of the race, also compensa tion for the severanoe of the land. I may state that I am opposed to the present scheme, as being too expensive. A very cheap supplementary Bupply could be obtained by taking the water from the river near our Homestead. But I hardly think we want any additional supply at present, Last summer we had a fairly good supply. If your Oounoll would adopt the plan of oleaning out the races themselves, and so make our water system bomplete, we would never be short of water. At preaent oae half of the settlers clean out their raoes and the other half do not ; hence the reason why we are shoi^ of water sometimes. lam sure the Oounoll could clean the rscfs oheaper than wa osn ourselves." It wag stated that petitions for the Bonstltutlon of the water district were In course of signature, and Mr Coster, the jhlef mover In the matter being absent, sonalderatlon of the letter was deferred. PUBLIC WORKS BILL. A letter was read from the Minister nvitlng suggestions m regard to the Bill :o amend tho Public Works Aots, whlqh It was proposed to introduoe Into Parlia ment nest session. Mr Grlgg,thought It woald be desirable for the Oounoll to draw the atteutlon of the Minister to the argent neoessity for legislation In regard to tho oleantag of oreeks, etc, A Committee consisting of the Chair* man, Messrs; Wright, McMillan rod Grigs was appointed to consider the BUI. BLACK MOUNTAIN TRACK. It was resolved to contribute £15 to» wards th* Black Mountain track. ' SLAUGHTERING UC«NSE. A slaughtering license wai granted to Jae. Gadsell. DOQ COLT.A&I.

ASHBURTON LIVE STOCK MARKET

Mr D. Thomas (late of Mataon, Cox, and Oo.) reports upon the live stock market for the week ending Oat. 80th, as follows :— On Tuesday at the ABhbarton Yards I held my Dsaal weekly Hale of sheep, cattle, md pif?e. The total entry for the day comprifgd 8876 sheep, 11 rams, 88 oattlo, and 2 pigs, pf whioh I sold 2098 sheep and 16 head of cattle. The attendance was below the average, no doubt owing to many farmers preparing for the Timaru chow and the very unpleasant nor'-wester that was blowing the whole of the day. The bidding was rather slack, and two or three lines were passed m unsold. The following prices were realised :— ln fat sheep —Merino wethers, lls 6d to 11s 9d; ■horn crossbred ewer and wethers, 10a 3d. In Btores— A very fine line of oroßsbred hoggets, well-grown and full wooled, 15s ; also a good line of four-tooth ewea and wethers, 14s lOd; first cross two-tooth ewea and wethols, 18a 8d ; crossbred hoggets, 12s, 13s Id ; a mixed line of crossbred an.d merino ewes and lambs, 10s ; merino ewes and lambs, da ljd ; fat lambs, 7s 3d to 7s 6d. In cattle, fat heifers, £5 17s 6d to £6; cows, £1 10s to £2 18s 6d. Oa Friday week I held my usual fortnightly stria ofßkins. I had a good entry and the com* petition was brisk. Butchers' orossbreds, 6* 7d to 5s 8d; all other lines were Bold at pet lb, via , 5f d and 6d to 6Jd.

COLONIAL ITEMS.

(per press association,)

London, Ootober 29.

A Chanpery order, empowering trustees to invest money m Colonial inscribed stock, under certain condi tions, has been suspended m conse quence of the protests, of the lawyers. The " Financial .News " asserts that the Bank of New Zealand clique en gineered the recent rise m the New Zealand inscribed stock for the purpose of assisting the new issue of the Bank shares.  , ' ' ■,■ '[ Lord Rosebery, writing on the subject of Imperial Federation, states his belief that the union of the colonies with Great Britain would increase the liabilities of the latter. It is, he thinks, impracticable, to admit the colonies to a share m the control of the Imperial policy unless they are willing to pay their share of the cost.

IRISH AFFAIRS

(PrR Peeßß ABSyXHATIOIf.)

London, October 29 and 30. Mr Wra. O'Brien, M.P., has induced* Lord Kenoaare's tenants to adopt the Plan of Campaign. An order has been made by the t( Timcß"-Parnell Commissioa for the production by Banks of books belonging to the Land and National Leagues. Mr Jeremiah D. Sheehan, member for East Kerry, has been arrested on a charge of inciting tenants at Killamey to join the Plan of Campaign. Mr J. J. O' Kelly, member for Kos common North, who was sentenced to four months' imprisonment for inciting a witness to refuie to give evidence under the Crimes Act, appealed against the verdict to-day. The case vraa argued m the High Courts, Bis Honor, m reducing the sentence from four to two months, expressed sympathy with Mr O'Kelly, but said the law, however objectionable, must be respected. He believed that language similar, to thafe used by O'Kelly would be passed un noticed if used m England, and hia Honor agreed vrith the prisoner that if ■ach an 4,qt a.s the Crimes Act were brought into operation m England it would be regarded with suspioion. >:■

ADDIMTOW LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Ohbistohuros, Ootobet 31. There was a fair aftendanqe *t the market to-day, bat a strong dußty norNrester was blowing the greater part of the day. Oaths.— There was a fairly large entry of , fat aa.ttle, but as has been the case for some weeks, the entry was m exoesa of local wants. Prime beeves were sold up to £9 10s. Beef of the very best quality fetched 20s per 1001 b; fair to medium 18a to 19a, and inferior from 15s upwards. Store Oittlh. — Thera wai. a fair entry of itore oattle, most of which were Bold at'about the prices that have rated lor the last tow •ales. . : ■■■'-' T>xmt Cattle.— Tha . entry of dairy oattle was about ordinary, and prices showed no improvement. Boally good bowa always Bell and fetoh fair figures, and cows m profit, of quality, to-day brought the usual good figures. Calves.— A number of passably good oalvei were on offer, say between 80 and 40> and prioee, snywhero between 6b and 255, wera obtained. Shbkp.— Owing to the fast that there will be no market nest Wednesday (being one of the Show days), there was a larger market of fat sheep than has been customary for soma weeks. The opening waß a bit light, and tha market throughout was somewhat uneven. Sheep m wool fetohed easily ad per lb for tha very primest, and shorn mutton would fee worth about 2d per lb. The average pries for passable shorn crossbred wethers would bo found between 10s $d and Us 3d. bat an exceptionally good pen of six shorn erbssbreda fetohed 14a. All round there was a decided drop m the market, and taking the, sheep from beginning to end, it may ba said that the values of last week, were not main* tamed by about %b per head, Store Bnexp-.~-.The entry was big and was made up mostly of young sheep, hoggeta preponderating. Thanks to the recent stretch of dry weather the demand was weak and far below the tone of last month, consequently a good many withdrawals took place, and tfca sales effeoted were at lower rates. A Una of crossbred ooupleß at 10a 3d to lis. Fax liAvus.r^Lambs wera numerouer, and Us was perhaps the beßt prioe obtained. The quality 61 most linen was rather superior* Pias,— Pigs were a poor entry, and poik was worth 3d per lb, but everything was Bold.
