The Guardian , of April Bth, had an amusing article, chastising the Times for supporting, years ago, “ Master Humphrey,” alias Kellowes, by publishing his letters on immigration. It winds up by stating that “in a future issue we shall hold up to public contempt others of our contemporaries whose ignorance of politics, prejudices, or unpardonable carelessness, has prompted or permitted them to degrade their columns into mere vehicles of causeless slander of the country and the community which suffers them to exist.” The Municipal Council of Oamaru offers a bonus of £l5O to be paid to the engineer who shall submit, on or before the Ist July next, the most practicable plan of providing the town -with a plentiful supply of good water.
