Reading the Newspaper in Colonial Otago
Reading the Newspaper in Colonial Otago TonY BALLAntYNE On 9 July 1884 Archibald Fletcher, the town clerk of Gore and a well-known solicitor as well, read an essay to the Gore Literary and Debating Society on the subject of ‘The Local Press’. Fletcher’s presentation was substantial and thoughtful. Its argumentative tone was in keeping with the spirit of public debate in Gore in the 1880s, but its reflections on the press were novel and unusually rich, reflecting Fletcher’s deep interest in the question of education and his local reputation as a man of ‘luminous intellect’.1 Fletcher’s talk, which was published two days later in the Mataura Ensign, opened by inviting his audience to take an imaginative journey south along the banks of the Mataura River from Gore to the site of the Mataura paper mill.2 Fletcher directed his audience’s attention to ‘a boiling cauldron’ filled with the ‘tussac’, which ‘in its native freedom’ grew ‘profusely’ in the region. In the factory, this humble local raw material was being transformed: it is boiled, thumped, pounded into pulp – then it is passed on to another vessel, mixed with other chemical substances until appearing as a thick liquid it is passed further on, and still flowing it finds a lower level and reaches a treadle which shakes it and keeps it in proper solution, and even, so as to furnish to the next operation a uniform supply. The laws of heat, motion and force, if these are not essentially one, are seen in active operation – the liquid passes from the treadle under a roller, now coils around it, then passing along another level and over another roller, getting more and more cohesive as the fibres of the substance are getting entwined again, and it is relieved by degrees of the watery element. -
