ALPINE GUIDES.
QUESTION OF ISSUING LICENSES. WELLINGTON, September 30. * A conference to consider various matters in connection with the system of employing guides at various resorts was commenced at Wellington to-day. In opening the conference, Mr Clinkard (the head of the Tourist Department) said that it had emanated from suggestions by the Alpine Club that some action should be taken by the Government in controlling the work of alpine guides. It was suggested that control would have to be worked through a system of licenses, and that for this some authority was required. The Tourist Department, as such had no direct interest in the matter of alpine guides, owing to the private ownership of the Mount Cook and other resorts, the owners of which employed their own guides. The Government, however, apparently considered that there was some justification for the suggestion. The conference is being held in private.
