Waipaka.—A correspondent, writing fron I Waipara on May 11, Bays:—The Hod. Hall | Jones, accompanied by his private secretary, and Mr Gavan, engineer, who has charge oi the Midland Railway at Springfield, arrived here by rail this morning, and I'!,': for Cheviot in a howling nou'-wester in an open conveyance. The object of the visit la to inspect the route of the proposed railway extension from hore to c -nnccb Cheviot and Blenheim. We urged the Minister not to go on in such a storm, bub he could nob be prevailed on, saying that a lost day th<ew all his working arrangements out of gear. He was very jolly and full of life. Expecta- Ition is very high, aa the elections are near at baud, that pledges will be got from the Government compelling this line to go on. This is the worst day's rain that has been here for a long time.—The hot epriDgs were very busy this summer, and private boarding houses have been erected and well patronised. The Government have erected a small gasometer, by which the evaporations from the sprngs are condensed into gas, and light is thereby supplied to the sanatorium. To do this little bit of work the Hon. John McKenzie sent a man up from Palmerston, and kepb him two weeks at the springs before aDy timber arrived for the work, at I the expense of the ratepayers, instead of taking a man from Christchurch.
