PADANG

Padang, the capital of the West Coast of Sumatra, is situated 100 deg. 20 min. E.- longitude and 58 inin. S. latitude. The population, numbered in 1925 41,238 of whom 2,548 were Europeans, 3,240 natives and 6,289 foreign Orientals Padang has a splendid natural harbour, the "Emmahaven," with up-to-date wharfage facilities. The place is an important market for Import and Export articles. The produce of the West Coast, such as coffee, copra, cassia-vera, rattan, gum damar, hides, nutmegs, mace, cloves, etc., are shipped to the different ports of the world. The beautiful high- lands, with the centre Fort de Kock, offer plenty of opportunities for walking and motoring trips amidst most gorgeous scenery. Padang is one of the healthiest places. on the Coast, land and sea breezes contributing materially to lower the temperature.. Owing to the absence of monsoons no division of the year into a dry and a wet season can be made, the rainfall being equally divided over the whole year.
