"CUT" NOT sa SEVERE IN SOUTH .ISLAND. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Replying to a statement that, though the North Island railways liave ceased to carry timber, the Groymouth railway service is kept extremely busy conveying millions of feet of red and white pine tor shipment to Australia, the Hon. Herrics said the nit had not been made so severo on the West Coast because there was plenty of coal there always. Timber was carried there, but one of the reasons for this was that in 110 case had timber to be carried long distances. The question whether timber ought to be exported was one for decision by tlfe Forestry Department. The Minister pointed out, however, that ships bringing coal to New Zealand from Australia might want a back load of cargo, and timber was the only commodity in great bulk from this country to Australia.
