THE GROWTH OF A FISHING SCHEME TO ALLOW ENTRY OF Cheran, British str., 1,350 tons,
HAMLET.
Only, three, score years, ugo bleak desolation of a. fishing hamlet still reigned whère now stands the port of Kobe. But since the place was opened to for- jeign trade in the early part of Meiji and turned out to be a fine natural harbour, its commercial aud industrial development has been fostered chiefly through the instrumentality of ceaseless harbour improvement to bring it into international prominence us one of the foremost trade ports in the world Even-now the en- gineering work of its up-to-date equipment and facilities is being rushed on land and water for the carliest possible emergence of Greater Kobe.

Canton, Yesterday, The State Council has ordered the River Conservancy Board to take charge of the works on the Whampoa Port.
The Board has
appointed chief engireer Wong Him-yiek to plan for its construe- tion. In an interview, Mr. Wong made the following statements:--
The
initial step to be taken will be the construction of a por tion of wharves and bunda at Whampoa, so as to enable larger vessels. to moor alongside the bund. The funds for this work, amounting to one, and half mil- lion dollars, "will be provided from the return of the Boxer In- demnity Fund.
Construction to Regin.
As the Instalment has not yet come to hand, the necessary amount will be first advanced from the River Conservancy Board. This part of the scheme will take two years to complete.
As soon as the survey of the works is made, construction will begin immediately.
Two squads
of surveyors, to survey both the land and the river will be sent out soon.
