At the same time, such eo'Operatinn. will always be conducted with a primary, regard to the Western Dictrict of the Province. The Harbor of Riverton has a geographical position that constitutes it the first port of call in the direct line of communication between Victoria and the other produce markets of the Southern Hemisphere ; this fact will receive the' special attention of t ho '"' Rivkrton Timks." and no effort will be lost to impress upon the Provincial Government the rccessity that exists for having it im« mediately placed upon a footing that will recommend it to shippers generally as a port of discharge. • The advantages Riverton possesses as affording the shortest. and easiest access to the Wakatip goldfields — which have proved the richest yet discovered—will be' brought prominently forward, so that every inducement will be afforded for Riverton and the Western District generally deriving the full extnnt of advantage to which its relationship to the Wakatip District entitles it to sustain.

The Proprietors of the JRiverton Times need not remind' those to whom they must look tor countenance and support, that the carryingr out of their object efficiently will entnil a very large expenditure, and that, therefore, they expect advantage will be taken <>f their advertising columns to an. extent that will warrant them prosecuting their endeavors to a successful issue. At the same time, the Propinotors would beg Wye to call the attention of the Merchants and Traders of Invercargill and other places to the favorable medium this journal will affoH tor onening un a connection with the residents of the Western District of the Province.
