PAKHOI
epidemics in the Chinese town are frequent. Accurate figures for the population of the town, as elsewhere in China, are difficult to obtain, but the number of inhabitants may perhaps he put at some 20,000. Fishing is the main-in fact, practically the only local industry, and a large number of vessels are employed in it. The people of Pakho- and surrounding district are inclined to "enough for to-day's needs and never mind to- morrow" rather than to activity, commercial or otherwise, and are poor in consequence. The Independent and rather turbulent spirit so prevalent throughout the "Four Lower Prefectures" (T), in one of which (Limchow) the port is situated, is a good deal in evidence at times and there has been, so far, only a feeble response to educational effort.
No railway construction has yet been commenced in the district and there seems to be little likelihood of any of the projected undertakings assuming shape in the immediate future.
