HARBIN
Harbin, the junction of the railways from Irkutsk to Vladivostok, and from Harbin to Kwangchengtze, where the latter joins the Japanesc line to Dalny, has been made the seat of a Chinese Maritime Customus House to control the railway traffic by means of sub-Stations at Manchuria Station on the western frontier and Suifenho (Pogranit- chnaia) on the eastern frontier. Its situation on the railway is within comparatively easy land communication with large grain-producing districts as yet but sparsely populated and far from being fully cultivated, though development is increasing. It is on the banks of a river navigable for large, but shallow-draught, steamers, and is in direct and uninterrupted communication for six months during the year with the fertile land about Petuna S. W. and of Sansing N. E.; also with vast districts watered by the Amur River and those on the banks of the less important Ussuri River, near Habarovsk. Possessing advantages such as these, Harbin, important as it is at present, promises to become one of the greatest trading centres of China. The country around is a bean-growing country par excellence. North Manchuria being also essentially a wheat country, it follows that the flour industry at Harbin is a flourishing one, though less than formerly owing to restrictions on import into the Priamur. There is a sugar factory at Asiho on the railway, 26 miles east of Harbin, with a capacity of some 300
