Tlia Lands Department has issued the plans of the lands to be submitted to auction at Stratford 011 11th June next. The sections to be offered comprise 71 in the township of Huiroa, 3 in Mangamingi, ltf in Mnltaka, 3 in Huinkama, and 37 village and Miburban sections in Mangaeliu Village. The sect'ons will no doubt be keenly competed for, and in the ctso of Huiroa, which will be touched by the Stratford-Whanga-moraena railway, it is probable that some high prices will be realised.

The Egmont Pwt states that the Whangamomona railway will follow the Gordon Road, cross Douglas Road, and run into Huiroa township, proceeding thence to the Government township at Mangaere. The line passes- - Strathmoro altogether. The points in favour of this ronl* are that it is two miles shorter than by the Past R->ad route, and that it goes through small holdings instead of largo ones.
