DISTRICT PARS.

A first offender appeared before Mr J. Tammadge, J.P., at the Te Kuiti Police Court on Monday, charged with drunkenness in a railway carriage. A fine of los and costs, was inflicted.

Mr J. A. Young, of Hamilton, has definitely decided to become a candidate for the new electoral district of Tauranga, at the next general election. Mr Allen Bell will probably oppose Mr Greenslade for Waikato. Several inches of snow fell and covered all the country in the vicinity of Raurimu on Thursday of last week. A social was held in lietet's hall, on Thursday evening last, in aid of the funds of the Te Kuiti Tennis Club, but owing to the inclement weather, the attendance was not as large as it might have been. However, a very enjoyable time was spent and all those present seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. Excellent music was supplied by Mr W. Thompson, and during the evening songs were rendered by Messrs Kirk, Turner, Hawkins, Tidswell, Blackwell, and Pavitt. The ladies provided a sumptuous supper, to which full justice was done, and the thanks of the club are due to the ladies who so liberally assisted in this important part of the programme. In view of the demand for township sections in the King Country centres it has been decided by the Maori Land Board to submit for sale several leasehold lots in Te Kuiti and Taumarunui next month. The number of sections to be submitted at Te Kuiti is fourteen, two being in the main street, and twelve at the southwestern end of the township. About eighteen sections are to be put up at Taumarunui.

The inroads made by the rivers in King Country townships are sometimes of a serious nature. At Taumarunui the Wanganui has already carried away portion of a road and three sections, and unless a'proper scheme of protection is adopted more damage must ensue. In Tc Kuiti at the southern end of the township the Mangaokewa is gradually carrying away the river bank. Rora-strect is very narrow between the river and the railway line and a little longer term of neglect will sec the street narrowed to vanishing point. A landed auction sale of special interest to those connected with business houses, speculators and other in vestors is that appearing in our columns to-day, where will be seen a lengthy advertisement having reference to the sale of the above township which Messrs Macdonald, Wilson and Co., of Wellington, in conjunction with Mr T. Mandeno Jackson, of Auckland, will conduct in the Chamber of Commerce, in the latter city on the 24th July. The new township is described as comprising one hundred and forty acres of the finest land in the colony, situate on the Main North Trunk Railway, in the centre of the great Waimarino Forest. The town has been subdivided into seventyfour small farm sections, ranging from IoJ-2 acres to 2') I .> acres. Half of the township has been cleared and laid down in English grasses, while the land is flat and the soil a chocolate loam. It is claimed for the new township that it will become one of the most important and largest sawmilling and dairying centres in the Colony. Plans can be obtained from the auctioneers or at the office of this paper.

The quantity of liquor being brought into the King Country " for personal consumption " of late has evidently given rise lo the suspicion in the minds of the police that the g statement on the labels is a mere 1 delusion, and is intended to cover an J act iorbidden by law. Unusual activity is therefore being' displayed by members of the force, and in some instances inconvenient questions will require to be answered at the next S.iVl. Court at Tc Is nili, as a. result of an overweening confidence in the familiar and convenient label. The bringing of a bottle or two for medicinal purposes occasionally, or even a case at odd times, may easily be accounted for, but the man who makcslseveral trips a week to a licensed district, and returns accompanied by a case each time, iscithcr possessed of a priceless thirst, or is perhaps obliging a neighbour. In any case he is what the Americans designate "up against it " when requested to explain.
