At Oamaru the Minister for Railways was met by tlie Hons. George Jones and T. Y. Duncan. The latter introduced some members of the farming community, who were in the unfortunate position of having no feed for their stock, and were desirous of taking advantage of the department's concession of free railage, about which a good deal of uncertainty has existed. Replying to his interviewers, the Minister stated that each application would require to be backed up by a statutory declaration that the case was a bona-flde one for relief. Replying to a direct questiou as to whom the application should be made, the Minister replied: "To the local stationmaster; all stationmasters have been furnished with the necessary instructions." The Minister strongly deprecated the abuse of a somewhat similar concession granted during a previous period of drought. "Anybody found abusing the privilege on this occasion," said Mv. Millar, "will go up as high as ever the law wilt allow." A Cold, Cough, or Influenza can be "ipped in the bud by a few doses of Dr. Sheldon's New Discovery for Coughs and Colds. Price Is 6d anil 3s. Obtainable everywhere.
