Apiti Notes
[FROM OCR OWN COHEKSPONDENT.] We have had a very wet winter up here this year, and a lot of snow. A fortnight ago we had the heaviest fall that the settlers have seen in the Block. It lay in some places for a week after. The rain has made the road to Birmingham one sea of mud, from one end to the other, but it seems as if we are to have a little fine weather now. The snow lay over a foot thick in the Umutoi Block, and the surveyors there were not able to do any work for over a week. Mr Lowe, surveyor, has finished laying off the roads in the Salisbury Small Farm Block, and broken up camp for two months to give them time to draw for the sections, and then he will lay them off. There is another surveyor up laying off the sections in the Coal Creek Block, which were sold some time ago. There are several hundred acre lots of bushfelling let there, as well as some smaller contracts. A lot of bush is also being felled in this block at the present time.
