"Don't be alarmed," said the editor, as he drew a match from his pocket and asked the stranger for a cigar. That's one of the
most prominent and well-known citizens in the city. You see we had a man interview him yester day to get his views on a certain subject, and he made the reporter solemnly promise he would not print what he said in the paper."

This zargo representing several thousands tons per month: is now discharged from the steam- ers at the Pagoda Anchorage and conveyed to Foochow by wooden cargo boats operated under sail. This system is considered slow, in- efficient and unsafe, and the in- troduction of the tug and lighter system would, it is considered, be welcomed" and supported by most Importers and Exporters and other interested parties. From the quantity of cargo transported at present at the rates prevailing, the prospects of a substantial return from this business are particularly good. From business now in view and from past operations of the vendors business it is expected to show a subatantial turnover, and the Company expects to be able to pay a good dividend on its issued share capital. Mr. J. W. Odell has been connected with the tea trade! and exporting business of Feochowi for the past 25 years. Mr. Blakey has had import and engineering training as well as business man- agement with good trude, connec- tions in Canada, U.S.A., Australia and England.
