PADANG

Padang, the capital of the West Coast of Sumatra, is situated 100° 20′ E. longi- tude and 58′ S. latitude. The population is 38,911, of whom 1,234 are Europeans, 7,914 Chinese, 239 Arabs, 1,182 other foreign Orientals, and 28,342 natives. The abundant vegetation, the extensive cocoanut plantations, and pleasant lanes give the impres- sion of a large park or an immense native village, in which a few European bungalows are built. The bungalows are constructed of wood and bamboo, the floor is raised some feet above the ground, and the roofs are covered with tapa leaves. The mountain scenery in the background and the large plan on which the place is designed, make Padang one of the most pleasant towns of Netherlands India, though the public buildings and private residences do not have a grand appearance. Padang is one of the most healthy coast places, land and sea winds contributing very much to lower the temperature.

To the south of Padang is the Emma Haven, a seaport in communication by rail with Padang and with the Ombilien coal-fields, and where steamers can always anchor in perfect safety. Excellent arrangements have been made for coaling, so that annually 200,000 tons of coal can be shipped.
