Sydney is a large city with a population of about two million inhabitants, and is located on a beautiful harbor where vessels come in from all over the world. The shores are very high and rocky with deep water close up to the shore. The city abounds in beautiful parks, art galleries, mueeeums and bathing beaches. It seemed to me the whole of the population lived out doors. They have a modern, up-to-date ferry service across the harbor to beautiful suburbs. They also have modern street car service and the best undeground railroad I have ever seen. It is not completed 'ts full lenght but what I saw of it was modern in every way. "Hie national past-times are horse racing, football, cricket and motor and sail boating. The automobiles are not quite so numerous as here in the United Stajes but I was amazed at the number of American made cars, yellow and checker taxis, etc. I spent seven days in this interesting city and sailed back to Wellington, New Zealand, on the same ship "Makura." We arrived at New Zealand in the early morning and I toured it from north to south which was very interesting in every way. It is mountainous from one side to the other. I found the native Maoris to be a very interesting and intelligent people. In fact, the whole population was very kind and considerate, well educated and living under a wonderful government. I sailed away on January 21 at 10 p. m. on the steamship Tahiti for Suva which is the capital of the Fiji Islands. We arrived in Suva early one morning'and sailed again the next day, passing the Phoenix Islands and arriving in Honolulu three days late, as we had head wind and sea all the way up. I remained in the city of Honolulu eight days and visited every place of interest. I also took the usual automobile rides around the island and saw the wonderful sugfir and pineapple plantations, beaches, resorts, mountains, volcanoes, hotels, etc. This is a modern city with a wonderful climate. The thermometer ranged about 90 when I was there and it is claimed that it o*y varies a few degrees between summer and winter. On the eighth day I sailed on the Matson liner "Manoa." arriving at San Francisco on the eighth day. This eight days was the most tempestuous of the whole voyage. At 1 a. m. on the day of arrival at San Francisco we shipped a heavy sea which carried away the railings, broke in the cabin doors, flooded cabins and did considerable damage in all parts of the ship. I was gone just four months and enjoyed every minute of this wonderful trip. I had a real pal with me-- a 314x4'4 kodak purchased from A. E. Nye, and I now have several hundred good snapshots to refresh my memory. I am now fit as a fiddle, never felt better in my life and am anxious to get back to work. * TOTAL OF TAXES IN COUNTY IS $1,482,615.80 Dorr Township Leads, Algonquin X> .
