TUPAROA NEWS
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
The Omapere, after being hero several days, left Dually for Gisborno with 400 bales of wool. It is stated that this is her last trip to the coast beforo boing sold to a Japanese Company. Beautiful weather still provails. Slight storms fell early in the week, but rain is still much neoded as is only too obvious from the appearance of the paddocks.
Residents of the East Coast will bo pleased to learn that the Jackson wind, rain,and dust excluder for doors (invented by a well known Tuparoa resident) is pronounced by architects, builders, and inspectors of builders to be the simplest and most effective wind, rain, and dust excluder yet introduced on tho markot. Any carpenter can put them in, but care must bo taken to havo the plates quite Drm on the flooring, or stop of door, and the small side plates to be sunk into tho door plates and tho holes level with the flooring. Onco properly fixed they nover get out of order. All information as to price, etc., can bo obtained from Messrs Williams and Kottle, of Gisborno. The Maoris have lately had some good fishing hauls. A number of them have also had ono or two narrow escapes from being drowned, as the boat in which they go fishing is by no means a good surf boat.
