MARTINBOROUGH RAILWAY.
The Hon. W. Fraser, Minister of Public Works, is going to Martinborough to-morrow with Sit Walter Buchanan, and while there he will receive a deputation from the local Railway League. We cannot pretend to know, from this distance, what is the special objeat of the deputation. We would, however, point out to our Martinborough friends that the deviation of the Rimutaka railway is as of great importance to that locality as it is to any other part of the Wairarapa. If the residents in the Martinborough district wish to block for ever the movement to bring the Wairarapa into close touch with the sea-board, they will advocate the construction of the line to Featherston. If they desire to see their own district effectually opened up, they will urge the Minister to make the Martinborough connection a part of the general scheme for deviating the Rimutaka and serving the whole of the East Coast country with better railway facilities
