Work in this district is now plentiful, but an fortunately labour ia very scarce. As the wages are good we would advise those in search of employment to make all haste to Kawhia.

On Saturday last Mr A. R. Langley, of Raglan, conducted a sale at Kawhia, when a lot of sundries were disposed of at fair rates. The 8 b.p. oil launch Kinohaku was sold to Mr F. Derecourt for £loo—a regular snip. We ha ve received a copy of the first number of the Hokianga County Times, a weekly paper published by Messis Wake Bros. The journal is well got up, and contains a large amount of interestiog news. We wish the energetic proprietors success in their enterprise, Mr Wright has decided that the sections at Lemon Point, Kiuohaku, will be offered at KawLia during the month of November, as announced elsewhere in this issne. The work of road-making is being pushed forward, and even now a very noticeable change is apparent at the old mission station.

The Government continue to make sums of money available for roadmaking in this district, and consequently work is being pushed forward. We learn that a aum of £3OOO is to be expended at Kiritebere, whilst recently an additional £luo has been authorised for the Potaka, another £250 for the Marokopa Valley road, and an ex'ra £l5O for theAwaroaMahoe road. We are pleased to be able to record these facts, as it shows that the Government have at last Hwakened to a sense of their responsibility to this district.

Messrs Jonj^th nD D’d. are now having their .cash packed in Auckland and consigned direct to clients, as they find it more profi'abie to do go. It is, °f c< arse, essential to make the orders fairly laige, or the charges of delivery would be too heavy on their customiFd.*

On the point of going to press we received the following telegram;— “ Several telegrams from Puitsmou'h state that Russia and Japan have agreed peace.”

Speaking to a Wellington Post 'reporter, a merchant who has his finger fairly on the pulse of the local market, remarked that be would not be surprised to see the price of potatoes rise as high as £l7 a ton before another month has passed. In the July issne of the National Waifs' Magazine, Dr. Barnado devotes ths major portion of his space to an extract from the Annual Report of bis well-known Homes for 1904. In that year, no fewer than 3,827 boys and girls were admitted to tbe shelter of the Homes from destitution, neglect or evil moral conditions. At present over 8,500 young people are under care and training, of whom 1,300 belong to the helpless class, including deaf and dumb, blind,cripples, incurable, or infants, 60,000 children in all have been re.-cued.
