OTAGO CENTRAL RAILWAY.
The North Otago Times has nb&* high opinion of the Otago Central railway. This is what our contemporary says about it:—A Dunedin paper in writing ecstatically tho other day about that monstrous offspring of sectional clamor and political shuffling, the; Otago Central* said:— 41 If :; -> ever a railway deserved to be termed a work of colonial importance, that term is supremely applicable to the Otago; Central. What is , the work of colonisation ? Is it not to reclaim the waste places,of the earth? And is not i this precisely what this railway will do ? '■ Here in the centre of Otago—in the very heart of the Middle Island—there are three million acres of land of which it may, with almost literal accuracy, b« t«id ; that they remain in a state of nature." Our contemporary omitted to add that the land referred to is pretty certain i 6 remain in a state of nature tilt the crack of doom, for the simple reaton that it consists for the most part of-scraggy an(i mouutainous countty.
