Mr McKinnon, member for the Kurarau Riding in the Ohura County Council, left for Queensland on Tuesday. It is Mr McKinnon's intention to look for land in that State and settle there. His health has not been good for some time in New Zealand and he hopes that a change of air and scene will set him up. Mr McKinnon is very well known as an earnest public man, indefatigable in promoting the interests of country settlers.
