      Downs, Carnarvon, has joined the ranks of Fiat owners, having taken delivery of a Model 501 fitted with Italian deluxe body. [4]
    • IN MINIATURE
      Gascoyne Squatter Merton Fitzpatrick and Saddler Billy Flynn went up with Brearley last week.
      Take us up a good height said Squatter Fitzpatrick I want a full and comprehensive view of Perth.
      What's that creek underneath us asked Fitz as they rose.
      The Swan near Burswood answered Billy Flynn.
      Gosh said Fitz, I thought it was a billabong.
      Is that a merry-go round he asked as be saw beneath him a strange-looking circular affair with miniature mokes on it. That's Goodwood explained Flynn.
      You don't mean to tell me that's a lawn tennis court said Fitz as they hovered above King's Park. It very small."
      No said Flynn, that's the big reservoir. That's the Crawley Baths nearly underneath us now added Billy.
      It's a hot day, and the water's full of mixed bathers.
      Swoop down a bit closer," called out Fitz to Brearley through the telephonettte. I want to see if that's the barmaid from the Royal Hotel swinging on the horizontal bar.
      They swooped but it was merely the said barmaid's, bathers hanging out to dry while she dressed and dried her hair.
      Good eyesight, Fitz said Billy Flynn.
      Yes, said Fitz, as they left the river, I'm a cattleman and can tell a mile off anything connected with calves. [5]

      Merton Fitzpatrick, the Gascoyne squatter who went up with Brearley several times, and took back a new Buick motor car, also took with him the plans and specification of a flying machine he means to interest himself in during the long winter evenings. [6]
    • Murchison and Carnarvon Mails.

      A petition was received by the Pastoralists' Association of Western Australia some time ago from Mr. Merton Fitzpatrick, of Dalgety Downs Station, signed by a large number of residents in the Carnarvon district, requesting that the postal authorities should be asked to connect the Murchison and Carnarvon districts with a direct mail service.
      It was pointed out that all that was necessary was to connect Byro Station with Dairy Creek,92 miles, the missing link in a chain of complete direct service from Exmouth Gulf, Yanyeraddy, Minilya, Wooramel, and Gascoyne to Perth. To assist in this project the Upper Gascoyne Road Board decided to shorten and repair the mail road within its boundary.

      Representations were made to the Deputy-General by the Pastoralists' Association, with the result that the Postal Department has agreed to extend the small service as requested on trial fortnightly for three months, commencing from July II, 1922, the mail matter for places beyond Dairy Creek to be restricted to letters.
      The Deputy Postmaster-General stated that to provide a regular connection at Dairy Creek for Carnarvon letters it would be necessary to increase the frequency of the Gascoyne mail service to weekly instead of four times a month, and it was advised that the contractor was unwilling to adopt that course. The matter, would, however, receive further attention. [7]
    • SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1909.
      The Honorary Bench.-Messrs. Merton Fitzpatrick,of Dalgety Downs Station, and Douglas Phillips, of Jimba Jimba, have been appointed Justice of the Peace for the Gascoyne magisterial district. [8]
