New zealand government entces us
own people and visitors to the country
to make extended tours OF Its wonder
full national reserves, and probably no
people In the world know and love
their own country peter than do the
New Zealanders.
Touring Comforts.
Great medical swimming pools
abound, a hundred walking tours are
mapped out in every direction for par
ties of visitors or the lone tourist. and |
every few miles there Is a hotel or a
rest house for his accommodation. He
may wander for days. with or without !
a guide. among the geysers. or ascend
mountain peaks. on the summit of
which he will find that the Govern.

rcau would have foot and carriage
trails constructed. a rest house half
way up and at the summit. while ev.

Following Suit.
so successful was the Government
Tourist Bureau idea I'm New Zealand
that New South Wales, in Australia,
followed suit. and began expanding
millions upon the building of roads
and trails, opening up caves. for the
delectation Of the sightseer. creating
;keeing grounds on the summit of her
me snow.clad reak, building Govern.
ment hotels In far-ofr places. and or
ganizing literary campaign Of travel.
The result has been that the railways
are taxed to accommodate the people
who wish to know their country. and
every one Of the Australian Mates has

New Zealand idea. Today the finest
structures in Melbourne and Sydney
are the Government Tourist Bureau
buildings, and both the Federal Gov
eminent of Australia and that OF the
Dominion of New Zealand are erecting
palatial Tourist Bureau buildings on
the Strand. in, London.

New Zealand does not confine her
attentions to. the three main islands,

life. the Government Tourist Bureau
has erected a hotel, rates SO per
week, II you please, SO that those New

sure OF accommodation In the, South
Seas at rates within their means. This
is far different from the French idea
In Tahiti, where the tourists. accord
ing to Jack London and other recent
visitors, are neeced numerically. and
In spite OF Its delectable beauty. place
Tahiti upon the never again list. New
Zealand is straining every nerve to
secure frequent and regular service be.
tween her ports and those OF our Pa.
ciflc Coast. and now, with the assist.
ance Of Hawaii. this seems likely OF
contamination.
