The Hawke's Bay Daily Tdtgraph has the following:—"Ab an illustration of the value of our aoft woods—totara more especially—it may interest some of our readers to know that the Messrs. Brogden are paying the Rangitane, on the other side of this island, 2s. Od. per 100 superficial feet royalty for cutting on their reserves. The timber, it should be understood, is twenty-five miles inland from Foxton, from whence it has to bo shipped to its destination. The railway contracting firm have to erect Baw-mills at a considerable cost, have only a right to cut for three years, and have to pay 2s. 6d. per 100 feet train dues for the conveyance of the timber from Palmerston to Poxton."
