I had a conversation with somo of' the Makuri settlers respecting their attempt to induce Messrs Cook and Gray as agents for the Dotteridgo Company to erect a creamery in Makuri. They said that Mr Cook and Mr Hoisted of. Mangatainoka, bad mot the settlers on ■ tho'subjeot, at a,meeting held recently, when tho firm intimated that they could offer no assistance. The sottlera, however, are not dismayed, and will make an I effort to dovelop tho scheme amongst themselves.
