Oparau.

FROM OUK OWN CORRESPONDENT. During the past week we have bad the usual samples of weather. Grass is plentiful and stock are looking well. Oparau settlers are willing to borrow for necessary work, provided the Government give £ for £ subsidy, and tho thirds pay the interest and winking fund. Messrs Symons and Co. are taking up-to-date log hauler, plaining and moulding machines to their mill. Mr T. B. Scott intends building a commodious bouse shortly. The timber is cut and is to ba carted when the road is repaired. At present it is in a disgraceful state— numerous slips, water tables blocked, several sharp curves, half a mile of mud three feet deep. Where have the rotes for our roads been spent ? if on the roads the money has been wasted. A meeting of the Union is to be held ! on Saturday to inspect the electoral roll. We must select a suitable man and stick to him.
