Jackson Palmer has been assured by Public Works Minister HallJoues that by Boxing Day next he ’will have trains running on the first section of the Stratford light line railway. The Tikorangi School Committee, up Waitara way, is at loggerheads with the Taranaki Education Board, and all because the Board refuses to supply a range for the teacher's residence. It was sug-

One member of the Committee thought the chairman would not part with the pump, and that eventually the Board would rig it up ns a telescope, so that the chairman would be able to look a little further ahead. A Taranaki contemporary says that the total outlav on the sand-pump at the breakwater amounts 'to £sooo_ and to all appearances “ the pump is no nearer success than it was months ago."

Some people go to mountain heights, And others where the skies are bluer; But what will soon put them to rights, is W. E. Woods’- Gbeat PmEBHiNi Coke.
