NATIVE LANDS.

By Telegraph—Press Association. WANGANUI, Last Night'. A deputation of country settlens waited on the Premier yesterday, and asked tho Government to issue a proclamation, prohibiting the alienation of some six thousand acres of Native lands at Ivai lwi and WaitUtara; at present held by European leasees in large areas, who are endeavouring again to secure the holdings. The deputation urged that the Government should either purchase the land, or take steps to have the same cut up into small areas and leased on behalf of the Natives to small farmers. The land was first-class and suitable for dairying. Instances were quoted of farmers adjoining doing well. One occupied acres, and made £315 by milk alone last year; another 140 acres, £502 by milk, £67 hv the sale of cattle and pigs; a third, 90 acres yielded £468 in milk alone, from 33 cofVs. The milking was done by settlers and their families. The Premier expressed sympathy with the deputation. He recognised that the land was suitable for small farmers, but doubted whether there was legislative power available. He would enquire. ,
