To this man, his Excellency Jemę Tien-yu, and his abla col· leagues we extend our heartiest congratula: tions. May the work of these men serve as a doble example to our countrymnso.
WHAT THE RAILWAY WILL DO. The Peking-Kaigan Railway éxtending about 320 li and traversing difficult mountain passas, and winding valleys, touches various important trade centres on its route. : Kalgao, its terminus, an important city 'even in the Ming dynasty, "bas lost none of its trade, but is on the contrary increasing at a rate that forbades a splendid future. By the construction of the highway tho trade between Peking'add the outlying districtu of Mongolia will again be stimulated to activi. ty, and it is not too much to say that we may soon look forward to a time of commercial pro- sperity in those regions.
KEYNOTES TO success. There are two points in regard to this rail- way that deserve our attention: First com Apply to-
responsible head. From the very start the Im.. JARDINE, MATHESON & Co., LTD. perial Government has entrusted the building [671 of the line entirely to H.E. Jema Tion-ys. To -Hongkong, 22nd September, 1999.
this wise policy we attribute the success of its Construction. Second, strict economy. Not. withstanding the natural difficulties that ware overcome, the cost of the line is less than that of any other railway of the same nature built in China. This tatt speaks eloquently for the management of the engineer-in-chief. Hence we behold the keynote to the success of the Peking Kalgan Railway responsibility and
