THIS WALMATE PLAINS.
(per press agency.)
The survey of the Waimate Plains is being proceeded with very rapidily. The surveyors are now engaged on the inland side of the main road, and the natives are on the most friendly terms with the men, numbers daily visiting them ; even Titokowaxu and his men often come uninvited to dinner. The natives have also shown their friendship by allowing the men connected with the survey party to bail up two of their cows, and to have the milk from them, besides showing ■ them many other little acts of kindness. One party of the surveyors are engaged cutting the beach boundary on the inland side of the roa^d, near Kuare. The line is three and one-eighth miles straight over everything, and runs up a wooded gully on to the high land above the plains. Another party is surveying the land a short distance from the road.
