BEAUTY Sl’T/TS. Important, alterations in connection with the Tourist Department are probable as the result of the Hon. T. Alaekenzie’s visit: to the AYest Coast. He had, he told: an interviewer, noted a number of places including the borders of all the Southern Lakes, which ho purposed to conserve ns beauty spots, so that the lovely scenery should not .be destroyed. There were some lovely lakes on the Southern tour which would be sot apart for scenic purposes, as he looked forward to the time when, after the Wanganui River was bridged, the tourist traffio on the route to the Fox

and Franz Josef glaciers would be very large, when it would be possible to motor from Ross to the glacier m four S fiTe hours. He was already having an investigation made as to the poss. Sty of effecting a tourist’s track from Mount Cook via the Copelandl and down the AVcst Saddle of the Fitzgerald Pass to the Hooker River.which he estimated could bemadean ocssible route for something like LIOOO thus making it possibffi for theffiardier class of tourists to see the Lakes AVak atipu, AVanaka, and Lmdis Pa.s to the McKinnon Pass on tho Mdford side, and' thus down to the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers.
