From all quarters, indications point unmistakably to the fact that the East Coast, as well as the colony generally, is emerging from the long period of depression, and entering upon a new and prosperous era, In no part of the colony are the prospects more favorable than in this magnificent district. As an outlet for the produce of a large area of the best agricultural and pastoral lands in the colony, Gisborne, as the capital of She East Coast, stands unrivalled, Large areAs of Crown and other lands are being taketn up upon terms remarkably favorable to settlement, still further developing the district*is splendid resources.

To aid in promoting that prosperity; to rej resent and advocate the best interests of the public, and the well-being of the community generally, would be the aim and object of the GISBORNE STANDARD.
