There is a probability, says the “ Rotorua Times,” that Mr J. A. Young, will ccontest one of the adjacent electorates at the next election.

On the occasion of the Hon. J. A. Millar’s recent visit to Waihi, Mr Ilerries pointed out to the Minister that the Ohinemuri County Council had been constituted and gazetted a River Board, but had never exercised their functions. Had they done so the matters might have been ventilated long ago. The Minister stated that he was pleased to have that knowledge, as he thought the remedy would have to be administered .through some such body, and he considered they had the cure in a measure in their own hands.

A smile went round the New Plymouth Borough Council table on Thursday evening (says the News) when the Town Clerk read a notice from the Labour Department, calling upon the Council to shut down the electric light distribution station and power house at 1 p.m. on Saturdays. One of the councillors anxiously enquired of the Mayor, whose connection with the opposition lighting concern is often referred to by Councillors, if the Gas Company had received a similar notice, His Worship, however, was not to be drawn. He informed the meeting that the Hon. J. Carroll had undertaken that no action in the matter would be taken by the Labour Department until it had been considered by the Cabinet. And he did not think there was any possibility of shopkeepers having to resort to candles and dips for lighting their windows on Saturday nights.

} DAIRY MACHINERY. The “ L.K.G.” Milking Machine 1 differs from any other machinery. ( Thus Cream Separators, right from he old out-of-date machine still hanging on to a reputation of twenty years ago, up to the “ Baltic ” of today, all employ the indispensable principle of centrifugal force which is free to all. The old unsuccessful principle of “dead” suction in milking machines is likewise free to all, but tbe principle of breaking down the dangerous suction on the teats at each pulsation by inletting air belongs entirely to the first and only successful milker, the “ Lawrence-Kennedy-Gill-ies.” J. B. Mac Ewan and Co, Ltd. AgentSj Fort Street, Auckland,

Hamilton Borough Council will take over the gas-works from the company later on this year. Mr Shepherd, fire assessor, of Auckland, is in Te Aroha to-day in connection with a recent fire.

The long promised magazine “ The Lone Hand,” has arrived. It is put forth in the usual handy magazine size, and contains a wealth of high-class reading matter by writers of standing. A section set apart for the purpose, exposes several quackery frauds which are being perpetrated upon the public. The literary contents of the first number are such that should command a bright future for the magazine, which should meet with a ready sale in all English-speaking countries.

Last year there appeared to be every chance of a high school being established at Waihou. Before the Christmas holidays, the School Committee had the required number of names, but owing to delay on the part of the Department in arriving at a decision, four or five of the boys entered employment. The Board of Education then communicated from Wellington in February, saying that the school would be opened if the Auckland Board would take the responsibility. As the number of prospective pupils had then dwindled to twenty-three, it was considered that there was not sufficient margin to maintain the necessary average attendance of twenty. If, however, sufficient pupils are forthcoming to maintain this average, the school will be opened.

Speaking to a “ Christchurch Press” representative at Timaru, the Acting- Premier (Mr Hall-Jones) said the Government had found that the cost of carrying out a general scheme for the utilisation of water power for generating electricity for use in the various centres in the colony was so great that no satisfactory system could be devised without a special loan being first authorised for the purpose. The ordinary revenue for the colony could not bear such an enormous expenditure. as would be involved in a work of such magnitude. It could not be dealt with piece-meal, but would have to be carried out thoroughly when started, and be made productive within as short a time as possible. The Government had not drawn largely on the vote of £53,000 taken for this purpose last session. All information in the way of surveys and cost of plant was now in the possession of the Government.

“ Forewarned, forearmed,” remarked the sage, And now when wiuter’s bleak winds rage, Forearmed is he and well armed, too, Who holds a s ifeguarl ’gainst the crew Of ills that come upon the wind, And that safeguard you’ll always find In medicine tint’s safe and sure,
