IN announcing the establishment of a Journal to represent tho interests of the Western District of the Province of Southland its, promoters would take this rpportunity for Ircieffy explaining the objects they haw in' Viei^. together with the course of action.' they, propose to adopt. It will be their aim to co-operate with' the two local Journals which have already been so.auccess* fulin forwarding the development of the toajural resources of the Province^ and' in advancing its claims to a fair and equitable measure ' of Legislative consideration, without which its' material advancement never can attain to the permanent footing its numerous capabilities are so well aSdapted to secure. At the same time, such cooperation will always be conducted with a primary regflid to the Western Dictricb of • the Province. Tho Harbor of Riverton has a - geographical position that constitutes it the first portj of. call in the direct line of communication between Yiotoria nnd the other produce markets of thai Southern Heioisphere: this fact will receive the special attention of tho " Riveuton Times," and no effcrtwill be lost to impress upon the ProvincialGby*rnnicnt tho rccessity that exists for h'aviri* it immcliately placed upon a footing that will recom* mend it to shippers generally as a port ot dia* chargp. ,' , . 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, sa i hat every inducement will be afforded for Riverton and fciie Western District generally • deriving tha full extent of advantage to which its relationship to the Wakatip District entitles it to sustain. As it appears to be the current belief that the lead of the 'gold follows iv the direction of the Western boundary of the Province — while this Journal will be careful to lend every aid to the furtherance of the pastoral and agricultural iuteresls, it will not fail to be watchful of every movement, whether Provincial or otherwise, that may have for its object the development of: tbe mineral resources. The latest local, commercial, trade reports and price lists issued by the Home or other colonial markets, will be carefully selected, so that'every opportunity will be taken advantage of for placing the merchants of this district in a position to compote with traders in other parts of the Province as well as those located in neighboring Provinces^ The Proprietors of the Riverton Times need not remind those to whom they must look tor countenance and support, that the carrying nut of iheii' objaot efficiently will entnil a Very large expenditure, and that, therefore, they expect advantage will be taken of their advertising columns to an extent that will warrant them prosecuting their endeavors to a successful issue. At the same time, the Proprietors would beg leave to call the attention of the Merchants and Traders of Invercargill and other places -to 'the favorable medium this journal will afford for • ipeninjr up a connection with the resident? of- the Western District of the Province.
