the Shuangtaitze River. This lat- ter river was originally a narrow ditch dug for the purpose of emuggling salt and has, within a comparatively short number of yenra, become a sizable stream, so large that the water lost to the Liao River. is of considerable im-j portance.

The work consists of digging a canal fourteen miles in length, flanked by embankments construct- ed from the soil, The reverted

water will pass through this canal and its amount will be governed by a weir across the Shangtaltze River.

The weir, which is already com- pleted, is constructed of concrete masonry with steel gates. As junk traffic in the Shuangtaltze River

must be maintained, a lock has been combined with the weir. The weir and lock have been built within a bend of the river and are now being put into operation by the construction of a channel across this bend, on the completion. of which the old bed of the river will be filled fn.

The excavation of the canal is almost completed, and the comple- tion of the whole scheme now waits only upon a small amount of mechanical dredging in the canal, the completion of the embank ments, the opening of the diversion channel and the closure of the ed to be completed within the first river. All of this work is expect-

half of 1928.

The earthwork to date has all been done by manual labour and mechanical dredging is to be re- sorted to only to take out some dykes that have been left and to remove quick-sand that was found in the bottom of the canal at cer tain places.
