McLean’s Pictures last evening presented an attractive programme. A chapter of the serial was followed by a clever item by the boy “Zoe”, who gave an excellent thought reading and answering exhibition. The star feature “Pay Me.” told an interesting story of the far west life in America.

Yesterday we gave some interesting particulars aboul large timber developments to take place in the vicinity of Okarito, developments which we calculated to lift the southern district ! ahead very solidly. To-day we learn that in addition to the several new saw_ milling enterprises setting in about Hokitika, an: undertaking of considerable dimensions is about to be put upon the market in this locality, also, which will have considerable effect on the industrial situation hereabouts. The new venture is in the region of one of our most remarkable beauty spots—yet least patronised of all. These continued signs of internal development in- ' dieato very surely that Westland is com | ing into its own at last, and covered by a period not exceeding the next decade, there wiil he a great forward movement hereabouts.
