LAND AT MATAWAI.

Matawai—a second Dannevirke! Is Dannevirke dead? No! Yet what was predicted? That . Dannevirke would slump as soon as the timber mills out out! What happened? Dairying followed sawmilling. Dairying, tile • soundest of rural industries, the industry that built Feilding, Palmerston, Hawera, Stratford, Eltliam, Inglewood and Dannevirke from bush settlements to prosperous ‘ townships. How does Matawai compare with these towns? Read this : On one property opposite the Matawai railway station, all low, easy country, a wide-awake sawmilter has paid royalty for 4 years on the timber: he starts cutting next year; his estimate is 150,000 feet of good timber to the acre. This is one property. There are many others where timber is now being out in readiness for the {■Osborne railway, and which will come to Matawai station. There is 20 years’ cutting in sig’ib. Will dairying follow ? As certain as that day follows night. There are scores of properties, some already cleared, waiting for the railway station, when dairymen will start work- What will this mean to Matawai? Prosperity, nermanont and assured ! Who will benefit ? These who buy Matawai township sites close to the railway station! The platform is about a chain away from these sections. Verbrem "sappieutis. The N.iZ.
