The prospectus of tlie Great Western Timber Coy Ltd., has been issued. The capital is £125,000 of which 90,000 ordinary shares are now being offered to the public. The company has 10,000 acres area over which they have milling rights. Some 4000 acres are on the shores of the Okarito Lagoon, 2,000 acres south of the township of Okarito, and 4,000 acres near the Big Wanganui river. It is proposed that the company go to registration when 10,000 shares have been applied for, as the monetary proceeds will enable the erection of the first sawmill to be put in hand. Three mills are to be built ultimately and. a suitable boat to transport the product of the mills is to be purchased. This is estimated to cost £50,000 and is expected to be accomplished within twelve months from the incepition of tlie company.

We direct-the attention of our readers to an advertisement from the International Correspondence Schools, appearing over the leader to-day. There is no doubt that now that the war is over, there is a, great demand throughout New Zealand for technical instruction. One noticeable feature is thkt returned soldiers .are taking a keen interest in tlie matter, they evidently recognising the important part that technical education is to play in the commercial and trade conflict in which the British Empire will now have to engage. One great advantage of studying with! tlie International Correspondence Schools is that the student is not retarded by having to keep pace with 1 other students, but can progress as rapidly as he pleases, utlising to advantage spare hours that would otherwise probably be wasted.

It is understood that the coming ,of Viscount Jellicoe, of Scapa, to New Zealand as Governor-General, coinciding as it will with the formation of a Dominion branch of the Royal Navy by the advent of the Veronica and Chatham, will mean the establishment of a naval base in Wellington. In, that connection it might be interesting 'for the public to learn that, Lord Jellicoe’s staff, as well as the officers of H.M.S. New 'Zealand, included many who, were entitled to rank as experts in various directions concerning- lia.vali defence, aind those men were by no means idle during the vu.t of the warship to these waters. Such considerations as safe harbourage, coal supplies wireless telegraphy in all their bearings practical and scientific wore given quiet but very thorough attention and it may be that the result of the work done on that occasion may take shape during Viscount Jellicoe’s. term as Governor-General of New Zealand. One of the matters which may be given attention is the establishment of a naval school or college ashore which will work in conjunction with H.M.S.’s Veronica and Chatham in bujilding up a locally born and bred naval force, somewhat on the lines of the J.ervis -Bay institution in New South Wales.

I can’t read and I can’t write.” So pleaded an Italian named Peter Antoni, when charged in the Magistrate’s Court, Wellington, with failing to register under the Aliens’ Act. Sub-Inspector Emerson stated that the accused, who had resided in New Zealand for a considerable time, recently applied for a passport to Italy. ' It was then discovered that he had pot registered as an alien. The subinspector added that quite a number of Italians in the Dominion apparently did not thfink that they had'to'register as aliens. The defendant was a respectable citizen. The Magistrate, in convicting Antoni and ordering him to pay / s Court costs, pointed out that all aliens were bound to register whether they were enemy aliens or not.

The papers that will he placed before Parliament during the coming session will include the first report of the Government forestry officer, Captain Ellis. Since he arrived in New Zeland a few months ago, Captain Ellis has made a tour of the forest areas of the Dominion, and has been able to see for himself the possibilities of the remaining native forest from the point of view, of scientific forestry- Some additional forest areas have to be provisionally reserved for forestry purposes before* this, part of the work of the Forestry Department will be complete.
