PIO PIO.
Own Correspondent. The weather is still keeping wet, and is holding up the burning operations of the district. An area of about 4000 acres is felled and ready to burn, but there appears to be little hope. A singular feature about the district this year is that the felled areas are already choked with Scotch thistles. Some of the settlers are actually chopping the thistle in the hope of getting a start with a burn if a little fine weather ensues. One of our settlers has made two attempts to burn, but met with no success. It is hoped the third will be successful. Our new butchery is a fine up-to-date place and a credit to the district. Matters 'are proceeding slowly in connection with the bakery and the business should be established by winter. It is pleasant to see that the school is at last under way. The blocks are actually in. To obtain the school has meant a three-year struggle, and the most satisfied man these times is Mr G. J. Bevege, to whom great credit ia due. __
