Tho district is entirely free from floods. ' The Upper Hutt railway station is 40 feet abovo river level and 211 feet above sea level, . The sickness-in the Trentham Camp, about. which there is so much stupid talk, has nothing whatever to do " with the climate of the district. The death rate of the Upper Hutt district the lowest in the Do-, minion : the birth-rate is the highest: in the Dominion.'. In the early days the settlers' reared very .large, families, from 12'to'15' children, arid those children aro all living at the. present time. —-I anij etc., • •• ■ : ■ ■ • G. BROWN.
