TE WHARAU.
(From Our Own Correspondent)
i Station-owners and settlers in this • district are experiencing one of the ■ driest seasons since 1890, and if rain j does not fall soon it will be a serious j matter to them. The hilly country is dry, and parched, and there is scarcely a blade of grass to be seen. It is noticeable that sheep and cattle are leaving the hills for the lower country in search of feed and water. At the time of writing there is an abundance of good feed for stock on the low-lying country, and along the banks of the dried-up creeks and river-beds. The main water supply of the district for stock is obtained from the Kaiwhata and Pahou Rivers, and with the exception of a water hole or two they are at present perfectly dry. i The New Year was ushered in s quietly at the township. At Mrs Nicolson's "accommodation house a large number of station and farm hands were entertained at supper by .the hostess just before midnight on Monday. Previous to the supper, singing and dancing was indulged in.
