Tho severe weather cf last week stiJJ comtimms, nj.'id ruTother fall of snow took .p!aco- c:i Saturday and Sunday. There is, at presonu", no prospect of tlie weather ci!oan:K i;n.
Animak' arc commencing to show signs of the trying tirno through which they are parsing, hoggets especially 'being put to a severe tost by tho continuous cold and wot.
Mr Syitcs. M.P., -rcce.itly paid a visit toi tho district, and wa>s met hy n, number of the settlers, who urg;d ■upon him the necessity for a bridge over the- Makakahi river. As the ford 'has of late been frequently rendered almost impassible' owing to tho frequent floods in tho river, settlers have had to put up with match inconvenience. 'The foot-bridge', which was erected by tho (Settlors some yeans ago, ' has been considerably damaged by the recent gales, and hits a distinctly infirm appearance. It \v a- bridge that no one is (responsible for, consequently repairs are long delayed, and persons using it do so tit thair own. risk. The telephone service l to Ekotahuna is mow completed, and is giving . thorough satisfaction:. Those who are ! not co.nnee.ted are just commencing to envy their more progressive brethren, j and to a-eailie© that on account of their i refusal to connect, isundry little happenings throughout the district will not come' to their ears.
The impirovemeut in the railway time-table will benefit this as well as all other parts of the Bush district, and the greater conveniences afforded will be much appreciated hy settlers.
