NEW ZEALAND POPULAR WITH
. . TOURISTS
New Zealand is now the goal of
many tourists from the United States,
more having visited the Pomiriion ir,
1917 than in previous years, according
to Commerce Reports, which say:. '
"The New Zealand Government ha;
a very complete tourist department
with two equally good tourist sta
tions one at liotorua in North Island
nnd tho other in the vicinity of Mount
Cook in South Island. These are not
only very populnr for New Zealunders,
but for Australians nnd Americans as
well. ,
'The rapid development of the rura'
districts of New Zealand by the farm'
crs, duirymcn and stock raisers, to
gether with tho general use of nhe
motor car, has brought to the fore th.
necessity of better highways. The
campaign for this improvement wij!
open in earnest on the return of the
soldiers at the close of the war.
