Mr W. G. Murray, chief surveyor of Westland, left for the North yesterday, en route for Nelson, where he will meet the members of the Rivers Commission, about to commence their task in respect to the proposed proclamation of a number of rivers along this Coast. Mr Murray will probably bo absent about a couple of weeks. We (Kumara Times' learn that a movement is on foot to erect a tablet in the Stafford School to the memory of young Oscar Bottom, a native of Stafford, who died of wounds received whilst fighting against the Boers in South Africa. We hope the movement will bo successful as it would show Stafford scholars that one who had attended their school in former years, had done his duty and given his life in defence of his flag.
