Trawlers are operating freely along the coast between Moruya and Narooma, in consequence of which rockhoppers are having a slow time.

We are pleased to announce that Jack, second son of Mr. C. Stubbs, jnr., has passed a complete test with maximum marks for appointment as junior railway porter at Bomaderry Station. Our young native received his education under the supervision of Mr. C. Carter.

The “Examiner’s” congratulations to miss Nea, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Luck, of Yarragee, who passed with honors the Business College’s examinations in typewriting, gaining 95½ marks out of a possible 100.

Through information received through what we considered a reliable source, a par appeared in the last issue of this paper to the effect that through measles having broken out the school at Dwyer’s Creek has been closed for a while. The master, Mr. Gale, writes to say that such is not the case, that the school has not been closed, and is not even likely to be closed.

Narooma people are to be complimented on the many ornate structures they have erected during the past few years, and the bright and clean appearance of their homes. Our friends in this pretty seaside village are evidently not as afraid to use a little paint and energy as the Moruyaites are.

Last week-end Electrician Carter and Messrs. Costin and G. Thomson, of Narooma, installed a wireless set at Mr. S. C. Shumack’s residence at Bergalia. On Sunday the American band music broadcasted from the Lyceum, Pitt St., Sydney, was obtained to perfection. At 6 p.m. children’s stories and music songs were heard from Melbourne, and at night a splendid variety of music and singing was again obtained. Mr. Shumack says the results were marvellous, which speaks volumes for the set.

The Bermagui arrived on Sunday night and discharged her cargo at the chutes. The captain reported the position near there as unfavorable for a ship to berth. During the past fortnight the river from there to Dormon Long’s wharf has silted up another four feet. The cargo for Moruya will, in consequence, be shipped to the Bay for a few weeks. The master of the dredge Ballina commences operations at the town wharf to-day (Saturday). He expects to have the channel deepened sufficiently in a month for the steamer to reach the town wharf.
