Mr Hcndy hereafter will be able to boast that he was the first ono who built on the Waimate Plains, as he finished bis cottage last week. It is built on a rise, and being the only one, it looks very solitary ; but crc six months are over it will have companions, as plans arc already prepared and timber ordered for several residences. New Plymouth people are at last wa k ing up to the fact that it is good to have communication with the outer world, and are agitating to have the railway pushed on more vigorously. It was only a few years ago that your correspondent was speaking to a New Plymouthian of the importance of communication with tint part of the province, when ho was me with the answer that they had got on some forty years very well by themselves, and he could not sec why they could not go on still. He was afraid that it might bring strangers to compete with their present business men.
