Mr "W. G. Pearce, Chairman of tho Oroua County Council, returned t-he other day from Wellington, where lie attended the Counties' Conference. Speaking to a representative of the Foikling Star, -he gave the following as his impressions of tho Conference and its labours :— My impression of the Conference it that some good work was done, and its educative value cannot be over-estimated. However, it was considerably marred by being held in a hall that was too large by half, ■not ong third of the delegates ibein-g able to hear what was being said. If really effectual work is to bo done, I think the Conference should bo held every year, during the first week of the session, to enable Parliament to give effect to the recommendations of tho Conference. It is scarcely possible that any of this year's work will receive the attention of Parliament. There seems to be a strong desiro for a comprehensive Local Authorities Bill, but 1 do not think it is possible to formulate a Bill that will meet such a diversity of conditions. In the North we have the question of rating native lands, timber, mining, reading, drainage, .and Kauri .gum. In tho South, water-races, mining, treeless areas, etc. If a conference almost wholly composed of Chairmen of County Councils cannot give a load on the question, how can wo expect Parliament, which contains on-< ly a few members with county experience, to pass an Act that will give general satisfaction? The reason Avhy I think the Conference should be held every year is that delegates would keep up with and prepare for the work. With intervals of four years, delegates have no sruarantee that they will go aipjain. No preparation means that tire ice is hardly broken up before the Conferonce is over, and there is not that free exchange of ideas tJliat there should be. Two out of the three remits sent in by tho Oroua County Council were lost and one carired, namely, that Section 7 of the Dog RegistrationAct be amended , by inserting tihe following words: "Provided that where an owner has more bba now© place of business then suph dog slhall be registered' in the district where it is usually kept." The two Oroua remits thrown out referred toa. reduction of the six month , limit allowed in which to pay the rate, and the alteration of county boundaries respectively.

A CHILD'S LIFE SAVED. "My son Jack was severely attacked with croup." writes Mrs Agnes L. Vincent, Margaret Street, Geelong, Vic. "He was almost ohbking i and we had not time to send for medical aid. We had Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house, and it was the means of saving this child's life ; It only took ten minutes for this remedy to do the work. We think a lot of Chamberlain's Cough. Remedy. It is the only cough remedy in use in our home."
