'Some of the finest rimu and totan areas in Now Zealand are t'o be found in the south" - ™ district. There is a variety of excellent timber also embracing silver {tnd white pine, besides matai. It is not an extravagant estimate to say that great, tracts of the country will yield SO,OOO feet to the acre- In many case-, the length of the bole and the dumber of trees to the acre proclaim the majesty of this forest country—which it might svell be called in preference to mere bush land." ■A large area of forest near the port o! Okarito, South .Westland—an area of 10,0(K) acres—is to be opened up in the near' future by The Great Western Timber Company. Ltd., which is now being formed with a capital of £120,000. H. Gladstone Hill is managing director Full particulars of the splendid investment thus offered are given in a booklet entitled "New Zealand Monarchs of the Forest."
