There is at the present moment a total of 645 miles on the principal rivers navigable (350 milon of that for boats of the largest class), There are în addition rumy other rivers of considerable importance, such as the Hijau, Are, Sepetang, Trong, Bruas, Raja Hitam, &c., (all between the sen | board mnges and the count); also many tributaries of the Upper Perak river and others, together with a large mileage of deep navigable back waters all along the const, all available for transport of 400 to 800-gantang boats and having a total length of quite as many miles as the main trunk rivers. Altogether, Mr Desne estimates that there are about twelve to thirteen hundred miles of water transport available in the state of Perak at the present time. Certainly great improvemente can be effected on many the rivers, but the expenditure nécemary. for this purpose would, he feels sure, be readily granted when treffio justi- fied the outlay. He strongly advocates parrow-gauge steam tramways taking the place of such roads as could likely be constructed and maintained in a country like Perak. The construction of good roads for heavy traffic would be very troublesome and costly at first, and meat expensive is upkeep, owing to the scarcity of suitable stone for metal. | Should the traffic in any way justify the expenditure, such tramways can readily be carried in any direction at a minimum of expense. Mr Deans advocates the adoption of the metre gauge is being a good medium, and sets his fade thoroughly against any nar- of other parts of the Straits, Mr. Deane rawer gange. From what he has seen says he is certain that Parek cannot be competed with in the extent, quality, elevation and altogether suitableness of the forest lands available for plantations, and that it will, at no distant date, be the resort of many enterprising, ospí- talists.
