CAN THE CHINESE RON THEIR RAILWAYS?

What They Say for ThemselveR

46

The condition of un-repair into which the Canton Samshul Railway Tine has fallen during the tw

two years it has been open to traffle has of late boon much discussed in. business circles. On 3 siden, without exception, as far as we have been ablo to hen, the blame for this has been thrown on the shoulders of the Chinese authorities, The general opinion appears to be that, as with other things, the Chinese, once hav ing budt n cuilway line, expest it to last for over, and to go on earning, money without further outlay on their part. This in known to be so with Chinese owned ships (the meandst run ships on the coast), and with armumont, cannons once bought being allowed to rust into uselessness to ve the expona of keeping men to look after them properly. Warships share the same fate, while a walk in any really Chinese town will show brid.es, houses, temples and numerous costly works crumb ling any for the want of the proverbial stiteli in time.”

Such are the argumenta used against the Chinese when it is asked "Can they run their own railways!" and the Canton- Fatahan and Bimshuf line would at 'first. glange, appear to be direct evidencò in favour of a no ative, answer. However, bofore passing judymont it is well to hear both sides.. We have on numerous occasions heard the story from the standpoint of the foreigner, but a chab a representative of the CHINA MATE recently had with Mr K. . Kwong is one of the first oppor Bunitica of hearing what the Chinese have to say for themsolvoa...

Mr (or Taatai) Kwong, it may ko ez- plained, was some three or four moutha aga appointed engineer in charge of the Yuen Han Railway Co.'s lines. He is a Chinaman of the modern school, with very advanced ideas, speaks English perfectly and has a knowledge of railway matters acquired during sight years' study in America, where he was generally recognized as a keen observer and a man of ability.

Tazed with the somewhat aggressive assertion "You Chinesen a nice lot to try and run railwaya. You never think of

I am writing to you a few words of advice to mothers who may have * than four months my little baby girl child the same as I have. For more hadi eczema, and no one but those who have had it can tell the agony they suffer. I have seen my child beat her head, and blood streaming down, her " back. She was a little sufferer from head to foot. She was one mass. I had advice from medical men; did: not seem to oure her one bit. I was "advised to use the Cuticurs Remedies, and I had two sets Now there is pot, one spot about her, and I ana confident that the Cutlours Soap, Cuticuro Ointment and Cuticura Pille cured her. I told them and I think it's worth all praise for my child's sake and other mothers whe may have such troublo as did with her I used to dread the time for her. to wake up, as the cries from bor were heartrinding. For months she was bad. It first came in a small place on her head. I used all kinds of remedies, for it and it got worse. When I washed her she would cry with pain. One day I made up my mind while reading about the Cuticura Remedies, so I got a cake of Chiticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and used them in the evening. I continued for a week and you can't angine how thankful I was to see how well she got en. She was two years of age the 22d of Feb ruary and a fine girl.
