The latest return from the Success dredge is 38ozs for 120 hours' work. No less than 8856 tans 6f coal was received at the Masterton railway station last year; Masterton imported 1,997,700 superficial feet of timber last year, and Carterton 1,336,700 feet. An Imprest Supply Billfor £883,000 was put through all its stages in the Legislative Council yesterday afternoon. ■ " The number of parcels received at the Masterton railway station last year was 9716, 'amd the number despatched 5964. . ; . The quantity of grain received at the Masterton railway station last year was 5948 tons. The quantity despatched-from the same station was 2155 tons. , it is somewhat remarkable that Pahiatua, which is the centre of the bush district, imported 355 trucks of firewood last year, while Masterton imported only 124 trucks. At Auckland on Tuesday V woman named Anderson ' committed suicide by poisoning herself. She had been in ill-health for some time, which it is believed accounts for the deed. The president of the Masterton Chamber ef Commerce stated at yesterday's meeting that Mr G. R. Sykes, M.P., had placed a question on the order paper in reference to the Rimutaka railway. N The output of timber from the Forty-Mile Bush is gradually ( becom* ing a diminishing quantity. During last year about 2,500,000 superficial feet was railed, of which 1,075,600 feet was despatched from Hukanui, and 716,200 feet from Eketahtina. At the Palmerston Worth competitions on Thursday, Miss B. Johnston, of Mastertonj .first pi-ize in the Shakespearian recitatjon, with Miss C. Graham, of Masterton, second. There were fifteen competitors. Miss Johnston tied for third place in the ladies' humorous recital, and with Miss Graham took third prize in the story without words. The wool traffic on the Wairarapa railways continues to be very heavy. During last year the number of bales despatched .from the various stations were'as follow:—Featherston, 7188; Greytown, ' 303; Carterton, 5955;. Masterton, 13,459; Mauriceville 1972; Eketahuna, 5153; Pahiatua, 5325. At the annual meeting of the Masterton Chamber of Commerce yesterday, Mr D. M. Graham suggested that the ehamber should not relax Its energies in the matter of the East Coast railway and Rimutaka deviation. Mr Daniell stated that the Minister was being constantly interviewed in the matter, but they had not yet succeeded jn extracting a promise that a vote for either work would appear on the Public* Works estimates. Mr R. Brown urged that the agitation should be continued with all persistence.

IP YOU HAVE A Oough, Gold, Nose, Threat, ox Lung Trouble, Stomach, Bowel, Liver Complaint, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, use SANDER'S EUOALPYTI EXTRACT; 5 drops in a table, spoon of waZter. Remember, yop cannot expect the good effects from any sort of eucalpytus. Sander's Extract cures because it oontains ethereal and antiseptic substances not contained in other eucalyptus promots. These latter, made by persons ignorant of chemistry, and provided with fancy names and labels by trading concerns/ who do not know what they contain; have caused grevious harm, and a death has resulted from their" use. Do not >x>ply an ointment to a sore. It keeps back the secretion. To wounds, bruises, sprains, bums ulcers, eczema, and other skin troubles, apply Sander's Extract; 15 drops in a tablespoonful of olive oil. The effect will surprise you. Sander's Extract heals because it is freed from the irrigating constituents contained in other eucalyptus It heals when others irritate. tttsisi upor tht Gszraine Sandarß,
