The Akaroa Mail. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 1. THE PENINSULA RAILWAY
Wis congratulate the people of the Peninsula on the fact that a portion of the Railway is open for traffic, and that some of the residents in the county will receive great benefit from it during this present wool, and ensuing grr.in season. Tho first train took consignments valued at no less than £3000—a most respectable beginning—and the. future promises to realise all the expectations originally formed, and even more, for many of the ecttlers near the lake are growing grain extensively this year, and four gentlemen alone, if their harvests are moderately good, anticipate having at least 80,000 bushels of wheat available for export.
But we must recollect not to be lulled into a fatal lethargy by this partial success, but to use it as a means for the further extension of the line. Let us sink petty differences about the route to be taken, and the position of the stations, and earnestly advocate its being made, so as to secure the greatest ad--vantage to the greatest number, and by this means open up the great resources of our fertile county.
