Mr A. a. Hawes,. representative of the British Papermakers’ Export, Ud., who is leaving 1 for England on.2nd March, has received cabled advice that the price of newsprint paper and other lines manufactured by his principals is hardening, and that prices will advance: in tlie near future. As the concern named is the biggest paper-making institution in Great Britain, representing about 26 mills, all producing purely British goods and one which is already supplying New Zealand newspaper offices with large quantities of paper, the news is of considerable; interest to the proprietors now in Wellington. Dr. Tillyard, of the Cawthron Institute, Nelson, says: When ironbark poles are imported into New Zealand for telegraph. or telephones, every piece of bark hanking on. them should i)e destroyed by fire. No group of trees are subject to more pests than the eucalyptus. You have two had eucalyptus pests now and you can’t risk having any more. If you must have- eucalyptus poles see that they are treated completely in Australia. ‘ Mr W. B. Fearon, of Kaponga, gave a Manaia Witness reporter an interesting ..account- of a walking tour which, in company with his sister, he has just concluded, from Onehunga to Urenui,’ a distance of 196 miles. The trip occupied .16 days in aH, but only ten 'days of actual walking time, a resting spell being/ taken at Kawhia. The travellers were charmed with the hot springs on the Kawhia beach, where one has only to scoop out the sand to obtain a natural hot sea,bath. Travelling was good along t|he roads, only two rivers being unbridged, but these being crossed by punt- and canoe. ■ Mr Fearon is satisfied' that the country right through to Mokau is getting back quickly into a thriving condition. Home separating was in evidence . everywhere, the collecting lorries travelling as. much as 40 miles in some directions to get the cream.
