Oparau.

(from oub own correspondent. Several large mobs of cattle went out list week and prices ware much better than at this time last year. Mr William Armstrong topped the market at £9 2i Gd, the highest price so far this season. Shearing is being done now and good clips will result. Bain would do slot of good especially where small tanks exist,; Mr Wright’s plant has ome to band per Muritai, aud was delivered by Messrs Morgan and Newton in good order, Oparau has plenty of evidence of a future timber supply, bat at present timber is scarce and not procurable locally. A want of enterprise or push, or why is it that although the harbour teems with goldfish no one attempts to supply loed and Waikato needs. A small freezer at Oparau would supply the Kawbia and Pirongia districts with frozen fish.

The culvert at Oparau near Mr A. Jourdain’s residence is both a nuisance and dangerous, and reflects no credit on the designer. Several people have fallen into the ditch and it is about time that, those responsible for this work recognised the fact that Oparau is inhabited by some of the most up-to-date people in this country, and we require out* main street culverts to extend the full width of the road.

Has the late warm weather opened the heart of. our’Oounty membsr, for the road has actually bsen disc and tyne harrowed. Several spots that have baen eyesores lop years have had tbe aitenticu of a surfaceman. It is pleasing to notice County work being carried on now instead of either in winter or the fall. The Government r iad people cm still learn an important f iot fr >m a struggling County V 'uucil, and that so much money is required to make Government roads into 0 »unty roajh shows the expensive slipshod methods of G >veroment road work?, or work versus contract, with a host of useless b >asss eliminated. This proves that we want the members of Parliament to be those who from bard experience have obtained back block knowledge.

A SPECIAL “PRESS” REPRB-' SENTATIVE Oivas Zam-Buk Great PraiM. , Mr. J. T. Mclnne*. a well-tawnrn uiiwnsJand Journalist and Explorer, •or many years special news writer tor tiie Queenslander, ’’ and now attached to the staff of that popular daily morning newspaper, the Briaiiane “ Daily Mail,” writes to the proprietors of Zam-Bak the following letter eulogising the healing virtues al that Great Healing Balm. “I cantint tq>eak too highly of the efficacy of Zam-Buk Healing Balm which was the means of completely curing me of what might otherwise have proved 1 troublesome infirmity. Some six years ago when in the ‘ Gulf CouuLiy * of Queensland, I had the misL.rtuiic to suffer from a bad attack of Dengue Fever followed by severe Dy- , -.:nry übich brought about an abdominal weakness that I came to re- ' ird as Hemmorrhoids or ordinary rte-s, and proceeded to treat myself i<_cord:i!gly. The infirmity, however, • :u» of an intermittent character, »ut when in evidence proved very se- < re, whilst the periods of attack .sried according Ito the change of liniafic conditions with which I had :> contend. Some twelve months ago i thought it advisable to consult an niucnt Inter-State medical expert -ho diagnosed the case as a prolapse the lower Ijowel, and advised a stiv operation as the surest and •fest means of a speedy cure. For.•nately for me my business ar rangeants at the time did not permit of >is course, although I had determed to act on the medico's advice hen a favourable opportunity ofrrd. About this time, however, as uck would have it, I decided to give Zam-Buk a trial, and with most graJiying results. Its application proved soothing, its properties strengthening, and after using three large pots of the preparation, I am pleased to say my health improved, my bodily comfort was restored, and what promised to be a troublesome complaint has. I am glad to say, departed, and for ever. You are quite at liberty to publish this letter if desired, because I think that in the interests of sufferin'' humanity, the value of a simple and’Jeconomical remedy of thia sort tan not be too known. Zam-Buk is obtainable fronrnll medicine vendors, price 1/6 and 3/6 not (containing nearly four times 1/0 = ’
