THE TAKAHUE VILLAGE SETTLEMENT.

Good Work Done by the Scttlera.

(from a correspondent.)

As the General Election is now certain to take place within a few days, it may interest many of your readers to know something of the progress of the special settlements, and this one among the rest—although being the most remote, and probably the least in numbers, yet we think we rank as one ol the most important—as in the future this province is bound to be a veritable " Uarden of Eden." Most of the settlers have now been here from six to ten months, and wonderful changes have taken place in that time. Whare-building, garden laying out, fenee making, and ditch-digging, have occupied a large amount of time"to say nothing of bush felling.

The winter has been a most severe one, and the unusual, to most of us, mode of living in draughty and leaky whares, with earthen floors, has made it "more unendur able. Our roads have been in a frightful condition, inasmuch that even bullocks have been unable to make journeys between Kaitaia and here for weeks.

At one time we were on the verge of a famine on account of stores not coming in. Some of our number have had to subsist for days on nikau palm and ferns. However, we have now got a turn in our favour, hav ing'had a fortnight of beautiful weather. Early potatoes, peas, beans, etc., are peeping up, and there is a promise of sub sistence on the spot in the future to those who have taken the trouble to plant. Some of the settlers have done a fair amount of road work at intervals, to the neglect of their sections, but force of cir cumstances compelled them to do this—or starve. Provisions are very dear, and no person should come up here with an idea of living cheaply. We reckon that we pay 50 per cent, more all round for necessaries than we should do in Auckland.

Most of the sections here have been selected, but not half are occupied. The best, however, are so; and it would be very unwise for anyone to take up the remainder without making- a personal ex ploration. It would also be extreme folly for anyone to come here without money sufficient to tide them over twelve months, as most of us know to our cost.

Last week we had one of our candidates for the election (Mr Hobbs) to see us. Al though we had only a little over an hour's notice, yet all the settlers except four mus tered up at tho whare of Mr Peter Murray, where a very pleasant meetiner was held. Mr Hobbs very clearly expounded his views of the situation, and was very decided on the land and other important questions. Although opposed to the present Govern ment, he declined to rank as an out-and-out supporter of the Atkinson party. His opinions en the land question were heartily approved of by some of our num ber. A unanimous vote of thanks was passed for his kindly visit and exposition of his views.

We hope that ere long we shall come in to possession of our freeholds eithei' on the homestead, deferred payment, or cash system.

We have no desire to be classed as State aided paupers, and though most of us have availed ourselves of the Special Village Settlement Scheme on account of the temporary assistance granted, yet at heart we are utterly opposed to the scheme in its nationalisation aspect. If the Village Settlement Scheme is to be a success, it must allow of the freeholds being granted as the settlers are able to become self supporting. Of course, we have others among us who are most earnest supporters of the present Ministry, and would" liko to see the whole of this country nationalised. It must not be supposed, however, because we are village settlers that we are all supporters of the scheme in its entirety. We are, however, all unani mous in our desire to have the land taxed on its unimproved value. This alone will be a sufficient check to land monopolisation, and will throw the land open to the people. This week we anticipate a visit from our other candidate, Mr John Lundon. I hope we shall be able to give him as full a recep tion as to his opponent.

Several of the settlers have been expect ing a grant of apple trees from the Govern ment (for weeks), which will be a great boon, and form the nucleus for extensive orchards by and-by. These will come under tho head of " protection," I presume, and although personally an out-and-out free-trader, yet I approve of these and similar grants.

Initiatory aids or inducements to the es tablishment of new industries must even tually prove beneficial to the nation, but, like a child's go-carb, should not be con tinued too long. Our Village Steward (Mr Kavanagh) paidus avisit about, three weeks ago,and was very welcomely received by many of the sett lers. His visits, however, are like angels', " few and far between." We got a po.*t office established in the valley last May, and now we are agitating for a school, as wo have already 28 children of school age. Our next move, I hope, will be for a place of worship. At present, we live like heathens. Every man follows his own desires, and some actually work on Sundays as on other days..

In consequence of the Scholarship Examinations the Board of Education held no meeting to-day. The next meeting will be on Friday next.

James Greenhough, a bankrupt under examination upon oath to-day by the Official Assignee, deposed that about 13 months ago he was in business as a draper. After a short time he found that it would not pay, and accordingly returned the balance of the goods to the merchant who supplied them. There was then a deficiency of £90, which had been increased- to £170 4s 2d through ob taining upon credit necessaries for the sup port of his family. He had resumed his avocation as a commercial traveller, but had only been partially employed. At the time of commencing business he had borrowed money at exorbitant rates of interest, giving as security his furniture. Last March that was realised. He had since obtained £37 5s upon his bedding. He understood that the Bill of Sale was invalid. The mort gagee had however put the bailiffs in possession. He had no available assets and was unable to make any offer.

In Chambers this morning Mr Justice Ward granted probate in re James Fer guson (deceased), and granted leave in re Hitchens v. Winter to change the name of the solicitor on the record. The summons for leave to issue writ of attachment against the defendant in the same case was withdrawn, the ac counts having been filed. An order was made in re New Zealand "Watch man " Printing and Publishing Company, directing Francis McKenzie to pay amount due by him within 21 days ; execu tion to issue in ca*e of non-compl ance. Orders were made authorising sale of book debts in re J. R. Smith (bankrupt) and J. Brown and F. Tanner (bankrupts) while in re E. G. R. Ford and W. S.Collins (bankrupts) the cost of bankrupt's solicitor were fixed at £10 and fees. In re Rhodes v. Kerr an order was granted to examine Mr Howarth in Wellington, and it was directed that Mr Hooker should not be exiimined under the same commission. Upon the application of John Owen, under the Supreme Court Act an order was < made barring the claim of Messrs Chambers and Henderson, and directing payment to Messrs Lyon and Keep.
