The Wairarapa Daily. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1889. COOL SPACE.

A southern contemporary, tho Lyttclton Times, published an article on Saturday on " cool space," The expression "coolspace" will convey to many minds a very vague idea, but to tbo exporter of meat it is full of significance, and the success or failure of his vonture mainly depends upon it, The cool space available in steamers represents the exact number of carcases that can ho despatched to the other side of the line, Now as these carcasf s sell at a handsome profit in London, the demand for cool space is increasing, and there js n doubt as to whether it can be met. Canterbury mops up all it can, and Wellington is a little sore because the Middle Island has secured a lion's sliaro, However this may be, tho fact of a quarrel over cool space indicates plainly that graziers in various parts of tho colony are prepared to send a greater number of sheep to their respective freezing establishments than formerly, and tho practical limit to the trade- this year will probably bo the cool space available. Oursoulbern contemporary recognises with great fairness tho immense strides the Wellington provincial district is making as exporters of meat iinJ dairy produce, and dilates upon the capabilities of o»r Wairnrapa hush settlements for raising meat, butter, and cheese, This testimony is exceedingly valuable, because it is calculated to induce the young farmers ot Canterbury, when they leave the parental roof, to take up land in this county, There has recently been quite a string of land seekers hailing trom Canterbury mi Otago passing through this district, Many of them are settling here, and more would undoubtedly stay amongst us if the Government and the Waste Lands Board were not quite so dilatory and wooden heacjed in putting land into the market. It is extremely gratifying lo find our southern friends taking an interest in this district, and we trust that both Canterbury and Wellington, will thrive on the new prospects opening out to them, We aro now, writes our Chrisloliiirch contemporary in the article lo which we refer, beginning in these islands to realise tho astonishing capacity of our country for the feeding of sheep and cattle. Our capacity in Canterbury is shown by the number of sheep we now send away annually, which of itself is larger than wise men predicted for t||e whole annual trade in fro/en mutton, l'ei instead of fearing for the future our growers ars clamouring for more cool space, •Hid our businessmen have established a second freezing establishment close to Cliristclmreh, while some of them seem to think that there is room for a third venture by purchasing a freezing hulk for operations at the, port of delivery. In Otago there is the same promise of progress, though it bus not yet found the same enterprising expression, In the North we read in one of our contemporaries-the statement that it is estimated that Messrs Nelson Brothers will be able to their Waipukurau Works, Upon this statement follows the rejection that "the fertile Iwids in Hawke's

Bay ami North Wairarapa can supply twice that number annually, and will do so in a short time." Tho I'elleotion leads to the conclusion that (lie establishment of a Freezing Company nt Woodville will shortly become a necessity, and tho conclusion is succeeded by tho recommendation lo the Gear Company to lie enterprising for thesiiko ot Wellington. There u r e thus almost in view two millions of freezers in tho North, and as our production cannot be. in the sitnie lime (wlmievei' that may he it cannot he long) less, the annual export seems tu threaten lo swell into a grand total of four millions, with any amount of room for further development, We see what our neighbours are doing we know our own thoughts, we can nil of us conclude that tho meat growing industry of (he country will soon be something in comparison with which tho enormous difference 1 between the well-informed predictions of the past and the actual state of the present trado is not a circumstance.

Tho Napier News of Saturday says: —"lt is said that Mskaoro, who was hanged this morning, was dead before the rope was put round his neck.

Tho osrouer said that in relation to the first idea, tho question was one that should be brought under tbo notice of members of the House, and lie could accept no rider of tbo kind. He promised to forward the other recommendation to tho proper quarter.
