The natives who are camped on the banks of the Waingongoro, near the electric power station, arc making great catches of lamprey eels, says the Hawera “ Star.” They caught 1,5'J0 in one day, and it is estimated they have taken at least 4000 during the past few days. There were 200 natives camped, but a number have gone away, presumably satisfied, and over 50 or 6J remain. They have very little shelter and very Tittle clothing, and sleep in the barest of shelter mostly under a few boards, arranged so as to throw off rain. There are fire and as caught the eels are thrown on to broil, and taken off and eaten voraciously, usually with a bit of bread. Europeans who visit the camp are “off” eels and almost all fish for some time to come. The Wairarapa Times states : —We are in receipt of a pamphlet on the progress and history of the North Island Trunk Railway, with a prologue by Mr Nathan, the President of the League which issues the booklet. We do not know that any* one cares very much about the history of a New Zealand co operative railway. Such an enterprise is necessarily an antiquity, and it may be taken for granted that it is a triumph of procrastination and that it takes ten times as long to make in this colony as it would do in less pro-

gressive centres like the United States and Canada Why remind us that it is thirtysix years since this particular trunk line was designed; why suggest that it will be another ten years or so before it it completed ? Half a century is none too long for constructing a trunk line on our patent and inimitable methods. There is a wrong idea about our railway polioy which ought to be dissipated. Lines are not made to oarry traffic, but as gigantio relief works for the unemployed of the land, and as a praoiical demonstration of the beauty of co-operative labor. The Trunk Line, for a dezsn years past, has been the relief oamp for the North Island, The recesses of the interior whioh it traverses have been a sort of hatobery for political votes, and a Gave of Adullam, where all the discontented oould gather and find employment. The Trunk Line has been the labor safety valve of the North Island. Ought Mr Nathan to sit on this safety valve ?”
