This huge district is as yet only scratched- I ask any one of your readers to go up to the top of any one of our prominent hills and look E., N., and W., and as far as the eye can see theie is an immensity of land, dotted very sparsely hero and there by setdere. But ell this oountry must, aud will oome io, all boieg good pastoral oountry when breken io, equal to one to two sheep to the acre, not to talk of cattle over and above. What a future this fiuo country of this S.E. corner of New Zealand must have ! Aud it is bearing all this in mind that wo should approach this vital question of harbors. With all this fine district of New Zealand, with its future millions of sheep and its many, maDy thousands of oattle, and other produce, are we to have an uno*rtain lighter harbor, with a very ind'fferent anchorage outside, or a firstrate ocean steamer harbor? The answer can only be one.”
