Another similar station is being estab lished a thousand miles farther on at Urumchi, and all being well, it will be in operation in about three months' time: Subsequently the terminal station of the series will be erected at Kashgar.
* SOME DIFFICULTIES.
The difficulty in the transport of material for these great wireless stations, with steel for the towering masts that carry the antennae, and the necessary power plant and electrical equipment has been prodigious,
For the station 4 Ugra 300 tons of material was carried by camels. But this was a comparatively easy proposition an the route was over fairly level terrain. To reach Urumchi it was necessary to get together a train of 2,000 camels and 800 ballock carts, and the caravan was nearly, six months on the journey.
The route beyond. Urga lay nernas vast plains, through deep valleys and by pre- pitous mountain paths, some of which were nearly 2,000 feet above sca-level. Casualties among men and animals were numerous,
Thus a stride forward is being made in the opening up of China. Modern methods of communication will assuredly be extended in other directions. It is permissible to hope that railways will be developed on a big scale in the near future and therein lies unlimited scope for British enterprise and the advance ment of British trade relations with the 400 millions of inhabitants of China.
