OHAKUNE NOTES.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Snow was experienced from Horopito to Turangarcre. In some places it was more than two inches in depth. _
A large number of passengers arrive nightly by the North, tra.in, but the town so tar bas boon able to grovide ample accommodation. Building f-ifces are still realising large prices as much as between £3(X) and £400 being paid for -j-acre sections. Houses and shops are being rapidly built in all directions, and the little town is looking quite businesslike. Tho large shops between the Post Office and the Grand Hotel, which were left some eighteen months ago in an unfinished state, are now being completed, and I learn that Mr J. A. Butler, outfitter, etc., ? who"-is already in business at Ohakune, is moving in. Coaches which hitherto ran to Rangataiia Station for the afternoon train now go to the Ohakune Station only.
