The Hhrai.O may be pardoned for inking ;i little pride in the fact thlU the first big question to be grapoied with—that of the forma tion of a harbour board for Foxton—should Inivn beCn instigated by it, iind we trust that, the* project being now fairly afoot, it will he persevered in until a successful end is attained. Many difficulties will undoubtedly be met, but we boli-ve that by showing a determination not to notice rebufts, and by enlisting the sympathies ot the very huge population in the Mariawatu district that w : ill be benefited bv what benefits the p ut; of Foxton, the justice of the claim lor local control will be. recognised by the Government. We would suggest that the local Chamber of Commerce should communicate with the Chambers at Pal im rsOm and Levin, and indeed with any local bodies within the area affected, inviting their co-operation and assistance in the matter. The proposal to ask the Railwav Department tc ex'end the wharf seems to have much to commend it. The probabilities are that the department will not be jire a red to n.t- r on such an expenditure, although the need for additional berthing accommodation must he apparent to the most casual observer, and it can then bo urged that the control of the port should be vested in a body that will make every reasonable effort to improve the'conditions for handling •hipping, and also make some aKempt ai conserving or bettering the river channel fur navigation.

A deputation from the Levin Chamber of Commerce wailed on the Hon. T. Y. Duncan last week in support of a request that the dairy school he located at Levin- In referring to the meeting between the deputation and the Minister the Levin “Farmer” says “ the deputation got the earot the Minister and the dairy school is coming to Levin alright.” “ Apropos of knighthoods,” ran a passage in an address given by Mr A. vV. Rutherford at Arnberly the other day, “it seems to me a grave mistake for colonial politicians to accept these baubles. In a democratic country they are of as much value as a tin can tied to a dog's tail. Some of these noble knights tell yon they accept the title to please their respective wives. This is nonsense. The wife does not become ‘ Lady.’ She remains simply ‘ missis,’ as before. The ‘ Lady ’ in those cases is a mere courtesy title,”

A mother once asked a clergyman when she would begin the education of her child, which she told him was four years old. “Madam,” was the reply, “you have lost three years already.

Floods 011 the West Coast 011 Saturday inundated Grevmouth, the wharves and some of the lowlying parts ot the town being at one time under water. A good deal of damage was done to the railway and to roads, and telegraphic communication was interrupted. Heavy gales and rain in Canterbury caused a partial stoppage of railway and telegraphic business. In Wellington a gale of wind disorganised tramway traffic and caused some minor damage.

Later reports from the West Coast show that the Buiier River was in heavy flood, causing considerable damage at Westpoid. Two men, Liddicoat and Craig, were drowned through the breaking away of the Fern Flat gold dredge. The drowning of an old man in the Teremakau river is confirmed. He was evidently swept to sea in his hut in the early hours on Saturday morning. His waistcoat, with a watch stopped at 12 o’clock, was recovered.

New arrivals desiring to avail themselves of the local public library are often at a loss to discover the room in which the books are kept. Outside the building is a legend “ Public Library,” but on entering the public reading room there is nothing to guide them further, A couple ot doors are in sight, but which ot them is one desired has to be discovered by appeal to any good-natured person who may he present, nr, failing that, by a personal inspection ot the different doors. These little difficulties might easily be avoided if a notice were affixed to the library door, by which it could be identified at once.
