The lirst snppb-nu nl;i ry Electnr;il Roll fur M;iiiii\v;itii 010-C‘il yesterday and cimlnins 2.05'} names. A second supplementary roll will lie issued when the writ lor the general election Inis been issued. The Minister of Railways undertook at the rc<|uest of the member lor Rangitikei. to look into the <|ueslion of railway freight on soap from Wanganui to Palmerston X., .Mr Glenn assuring' him that it is (dieaper to send >onp between these towns by motor. Early yestrdav morning a lire partly destroyed Messrs J. J. Corry's malt-house at Pieton, together with a large stock of barley. The iii'iirnnces are £.'1,0(10 on the buildin}* and £2,000 on the 'lurk. The eric-in of the tire is unknown. The stock was valued at .Cf>,ooo and the building at the same ligme. During- the -creeiiing of “The I-'our irorseinen of the Apocalypse” at the Royal on Monday night Mr A. Reid received quite an ovation for bis rendering of “Rose of Xo Man's Land." In a previous issue “Andy's" name was dropped in a separate part of the paper, below an Olaki burglary paragraph, with which it had no connection. The llorowhenua Hydro-Elect rie Power Board has succeeded in raising- a loan of £BO,OOO under particularly favourable circumstances. The negotiations were left in the hands of Hie chairman and secretary and involved a careful investigation of the advantages of I lit* London market as compared with private loans from financial and banking institutions. They reported to Tuesday's meeting- of the Board that they had succeeded in securing £BO,OOO from ihe Australian Mutual Provident Society at 5.1 per cent, for a term of 20 vears. Ii i- stipulated that no procuration fee is to be payable by the Boat'll: the money is to be provided in Levin free of exchange and is to la* paid as required during twelve months, interest to be charged only when the money is received. Variety, and pleniy of it, aptly describes the contents of (In l October number of tin- popular monthly magazine “Life” just to hand. Beginning in serious vein, we find beneath Hie heading, “The Month,” a well written review of world events hv Carlyle Smytlie. 8.A., which supplies in a refreshing manner a clear insight into happenings in all parts of the world. “The Eight for the Tennis Honours'' —some side-lights on tho recent struggle for the world’s Championship .-it Wimbledon —followed by “The Month's Humour.” Turning then to fiction and special articles, “Clubfoot —the Spy," and "Through Hell with 0. Henry" followed by “The Lost God of Papua," provide excellent reading- of a type that is of universal appeal. “Behind the Beyond in England" —a review of Stephen Leacock's latest work: Xorlhelille — Napoleon of the Press; "The Toll of the Breakers," etc., are all articles worthy of mention. The numerous departments in October ‘Lite wbit’ll are to be found in tbe latter part of Ihe magazine, combine to complete it publication well worth the modest shilling at which it is sold.
