When will Foxton secure the gifts the rich have to dispense ? The Bank of New Zealand has arranged to lend the Danevirke Borough Council £7500 at 5 per cent. The Foxton State School opens on Monday. Scholars may regret the fact, but parents will be glad. The activity in the English dockyards is being maintained, and work is being carried on night and day. The result of the voting of the Colonial Bank shareholders i 9 that the provisional liquidaoors will be recommended to the Judge for the position of permanent liquidators, Poor England. Mr E. M. Smith, M.H.R., will leave for England by the Tongariro on 20th February. It is reported that Great Britain has purchased from the Argentine Bepublio two cruisers now being constructed by Sir William Armstrong at his works in Elswick. Messrs Gorton <fe Son hold a clearing Bale at Bulls on Wednesday. The boring operations at Moturoa, Taranaki, are pronounced by experts to be a great success. In the last bore water wa9 mixed with the petroleum, and this prevented successful pumping. In the present bore there is no water to contend with, and there is 700 feet of oil now in the well. The experts are confident that the bore will prove a flowing one. The finding of oil has given a considerable impetus to business, and already properties are changing hands in view of the improved prospects of the district. There are enquiries for Petroleum Company shares, but none nre in the market. It is expected that the good find will attract borers from Australia, and several new companies will probably i be formed. *
