OPENING OF THE BACKBLOCKS.
The Eiketalmna "Express" makes the sensible sxiggestion- that the "spirit of ■■ parochialism 'between Masterton, Pahiatuia and lEketahuna should be abandoned, and that the three townships should combine and bring influence to bear upon, the Government to open up the backblocks with a light'line railway, leaving the question of. route to be determined hy «a' Coniimissdon. It sesimis obvious that while tho •thr'ee centres are pulling iiro opposite directions, the backbloaks will .remain clbsedi to the outer world. We feel sure that Masterton *vonld be prepared' to leave the- question of .route to a Commission, provided Paliiatua and Ekotahuna would do likewise.
