Next to the removal of the disastrous prohibition against the transit of opium, a good mule road is the first requisite for the revival of our long neglected frontier trade. Even if it is decided to undertake railway construction in the Taiping Valley, some time must elapse before such a decision can be fruitful, and even when work is commenced, a good service road will be a necessity.\n\nIn conclusion, I would draw attention to the excellent service rendered by Mr. A. W. Mukerjee, Assistant Engineer in the Burmah Public Works Department, in connection with this road. Owing to his experience of frontier road-making he was put in sole charge, and very wisely given wide discretion. The result is that in three months he has put through a work that has been talked about for three years. His tact and energy were of great value. He had to deal with suspicious Chinese officials, lazy Shan headmen, and ignorant Kachins, but there has been no single instance of serious trouble or misunderstanding. At one time nearly 3,000 men were working on the road, which has been made chiefly by contract piece labour. The good impression made by Mr. Mukerjee on all natives with whom he came in contact will render any future operations by the Burmah Public Works Department in this quarter much easier, and there is every reason to hope that an abundant supply of labour will be forthcoming.\n\nI have reason to believe that the question of a light railway to Teng-yueh is at the present time engaging the attention of the India Office and of the Indian Government. I would venture to suggest that the attention of the Government of India may be drawn to the exceptionally good services rendered, under difficult circumstances, by Mr. Mukerjee, so that, if he is available, he may be intrusted with any further work that may be undertaken in the Taiping Valley.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nW. H. WILKINSON.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nActing-Consul Litton to Sir E. Satow.\n\nTeng-yueh, May 2, 1904.\n\nTHE commencement of work on the mule road in Chinese territory, from the frontier at Kulikha River (52 miles by cart and mule road from Bhamo) up the valley of the Taiping, was reported to you by Mr. Wilkinson in the middle of January. The work for the season has now been finished, and 17 miles of good mule road with a maximum gradient of one in eighteen are now open to mule traffic. The bridge over the torrent of the Nam-sa, which is practically unfordable all the year round, is of a temporary character, and the work on this, the Taiping gorge, section of the future trade route cannot be called complete until an iron 60-foot span bridge is substituted, which will be done next year, at a probable cost of 10,000 rupees.\n\nThis section, with the solitary exception of the Nan-tien gorge, 5 miles long, commencing 2 miles from Teng-yueh, is the most difficult on the whole road. For 10 miles out of the 17 the new road had to be cut along and round spurs and buttresses descending abruptly from a main range to the Taiping. The country is entirely clad with dense virgin forest. The difficulties were creditably surmounted by the Assistant Engineer in charge. At 10 miles (Nam-sa torrent) the country opens into large rolling foot-hills, where work was easy, and at 14 miles the open plain of the Taiping is reached. The road then passes above the village of Man-hsien, and stops at the hamlet of Man-yim. From this to Lung Chang market (the third milestone on the present Bhamo trade route, counting from Teng-yueh) is 12 miles to alignment and on a dead level, and with no streams absolutely requiring bridges for mule traffic; but to make a first-class mule road over these 12 miles will cost a good deal more than was expected, owing to the presence of several large marshes, supplied by mountain streams, and through these stone causeways would have to be constructed. But an earthen \"fair weather\" road, which would be available for clear months of the year, with irrigation channels and ramps to and from the small streams, I have not yet traversed, could probably be made for under 20,000 rupees.\n\nI have not yet the accounts of the sums expended this season, but I believe that the total, inclusive of bridges and dynamite, will come to 45,000 rupees, to which 10,000 rupees will be added for the iron bridge over the Nam-sa. Considering the difficult nature of the country, I believe that this is 15 to 20 per cent. cheaper than the usual Bhamo rates.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nG.

As bearing upon this subject, I am to forward copies of inclosed papers. The first of these papers Mr. Litton, His Majesty's Consul for Têngyüeh, argues very strongly in favour of a railway line from Bhamo to Têngyüeh; in the second, Mr. Wilkinson, His Majesty's Consul-General for Yunnan, gives his reasons for advising that we should prefer to concentrate our energies on the continuation of the Mandalay-Lashio line via Kunlong to Talifu; and in the third paper, which was compiled under the orders of the Lieutenant-Governor in November last, before the other two papers were written, Mr. Warry, Adviser on Chinese Affairs to the Burmah Government, reviews the history of the surveys that have been undertaken for the purpose of railway extension from Burmah into Yunnan. Although in the reference under reply the Lieutenant-Governor's opinion is asked on the question of the Têngyüeh Railway only, it will be obvious from these papers that it will not be possible to deal satisfactorily with that question without a simultaneous consideration of the larger alternative also. The two initial propositions that may be regarded as established by these papers are, (i) that the line from Bhamo to Têngyüeh (with a possible extension to Yungchang) will be a local line only, and that it could not be carried beyond Têngyüeh or Yungchang except at prohibitive cost; and (ii) that the only practicable line that has so far been discovered for a through line from Burmah to China is from Kunlong up the Namting Valley and by Yunchou to Talifu, whence the line could be extended to Yünnan, or preferably and more profitably to Szechuan. The Lieutenant-Governor proposes to address himself in the first place to the consideration of the question whether the remote possibility of the construction of the latter line should influence in any way the decision as to the need for, and the usefulness of, the former.\n\n3. As the Bhamo-Têngyüeh line is admittedly a local one, and as at least half the trade, which would use this railway, comes from Hsia Kuan, the commercial emporium at the southern end of the Tali Lake, it would appear at first sight that Mr. Wilkinson is justified in urging that we should not dissipate our energies by building a railway from Bhamo to Têngyüeh, but should seek first to complete the line from Lashio to Kunlong, and to continue it to Talifu and thence to Yunnan-fu or to Szechuan. Such a line would obviously dominate and partially supersede the Têngyüeh line, and would deprive it of half its usefulness. But the value of this argument depends entirely upon the degree of the probability that, within any reasonable distance of time, the Talifu line will be constructed. If it is found that this line is too large, and too expensive, and too difficult a scheme for any prudent Company to undertake, the argument falls to the ground, and the important question to answer is whether such a line is financially practicable, and within a measurable distance of construction in the near future. After a careful examination of all the papers, in which he has been assisted by personal discussion with Mr. Litton, Sir Hugh Barnes has arrived at the conclusion that this question must be answered in the negative. A line from Kunlong to Talifu being a trunk line, and a continuation of the Burmah railways, would have to be built on the metre gauge, which is the standard gauge in Burmah. The distance for a railway from Lashio to Talifu would scarcely be less than 500 miles, and the cost, judging from the expenditure on the Mandalay-Lashio line, would certainly be at least 10 crores of rupees, or £7,500,000, a sum that, according to Mr. Litton, amounts to about three times the total annual value of the whole external trade of Yunnan, including opium. Until the line reaches the neighbourhood of Tali it would pass through a very barren and sparsely inhabited part of Yunnan. There would therefore be little local traffic. The trade available at Hsia Kuan alone would be insufficient to make so long and expensive a railway pay, and an extension of the line into the heart of Szechuan could only be achieved at enormous cost. Considering the difficulty which, the Lieutenant-Governor understands, has been experienced in raising money to work concessions for such very promising railways as Shanghai to Nanking and Hong Kong to Canton, it is in the highest degree improbable that British capital would be forthcoming for a line with such doubtful prospects as that to Talifu, and taking all the circumstances into consideration, the Lieutenant-Governor is constrained to agree with the view stated by the Government of India in their despatch dated the 21st August, 1902, that for the present this line is outside the pale of practical politics. It follows that to postpone for it the proposed line from Bhamo to Têngyüeh would be to postpone the latter indefinitely.\n\n4. On the other hand, the line from Bhamo to Têngyüeh, being a local line, might reasonably be constructed on the 2 ft. 6 in. gauge, and would therefore be comparatively cheap. As the line is not a very long one, the amount of capital to be raised would also be within manageable limits. There is already a considerable trade by this route, which a railway might reasonably be expected to increase, and if Mr. Litton's estimates are correct, the line would serve a population, including the Yungchang Valley, of some 500,000 souls. There would, therefore, of a certainty be considerable local as well as through traffic. There is also the obvious fact that the construction of a railway to Têngyüeh would establish British influence unassailably throughout West Yünnan, and could scarcely fail to secure to us the whole of the existing trade, and probably most of its future developments. Mr. Litton, it will be seen, goes further, and maintains that this line would be commercially a complete answer not only to a French railway to Mengtse, but even to a French railway to Yunnan-fu itself. His argument, which appears to the Lieutenant-Governor to be quite sound, is this: Hsia Kuan, on the Tali Lake, which is the meeting point of the great trade routes to Thibet, Szechuan, the Yangtse, Yunnan-fu, and Burmah, is the true commercial capital of Yunnan. In this view, it will be seen, Mr. Wilkinson agrees. At present the foreign trade of Hsia Kuan is mainly with Burmah through Têngyüeh, because Burmah and the Irrawaddy are at present the nearest and easiest channels of communication with the outer world. But this trade will be inevitably diverted to Yunnan-fu if the French railway reaches that city, and if nothing is done on our side to counteract its attraction. On the other hand, Hsia Kuan is approximately midway between Bhamo and Yunnan-fu, and it follows that if a railway is made to Têngyüeh the route through British territory must retain its superiority, since Têngyüeh is nearer to Hsia Kuan than to Yünnan-fu. Moreover, if our railway reaches Têngyüeh first, as it should be possible easily with energy to arrange, and if we also improve the road beyond, we shall probably succeed for all time in retaining the whole of the trade of West Yünnan. For these reasons, and for the reasons that are urged in the third paragraph of the Secretary of State's despatch, dated the 18th December, 1903, namely, that in the interests of Burmah, whether commercial or political, it is imperative to forestall the loss and injury that otherwise will certainly result from the completion of the French railway to Yunnan-fu, the Lieutenant-Governor is in favour of the completion of a railway from Bhamo to Têngyüeh as soon as possible, if it is found practicable on further examination to construct it at a reasonable cost. So far as our information goes at present, there are grounds for believing that this line can undoubtedly be made without much difficulty, and that it will, in comparison with any other line, be cheap. Mr. Litton's estimates are correct; its prospects are not unpromising, and it will certainly place us on more than an equality with the French in the struggle for the trade of the most important commercial town in Yünnan.\n\n5. In the next place, it is necessary to deal with the line from Bhamo to Têngyüeh on narrower and more technical grounds, and to clear the way it may be stated at the outset that, in the Lieutenant-Governor's opinion, it is not necessary to the commercial value of this line that it should be connected with the Burmah railways at Katha, which is situated 80 miles from Bhamo down the Irrawaddy and on the opposite bank. Such an extension would be very difficult and costly, and it is not needed, since the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company's steamers could deal without difficulty with all the trade which the railway may bring to Bhamo. It may also be pointed out with reference to paragraph 4 of the Secretary of State's despatch, dated the 13th December, 1903, that there is no cart-road from Bhamo to Têngyüeh on which a railway could be constructed, nor any present intention of making one. The existing state of the road is described in the correspondence ending with this Government's letter, dated the 16th instant, to the Foreign Department of the Government of India. There is a cart-road for 17 miles from Bhamo, and thence a good mule road to the frontier at Kulikha. This mule road has lately been pushed on by arrangement with the Chinese through the Taiping Gorge to Mansien, a village opposite Manwyne, and it is under consideration whether the Chinese should not be asked to allow us to complete a similar road to Têngyüeh. The proposed railway to Têngyüeh will, therefore, not be helped by the existing road except so far as the road will be useful as a service road during railway construction.\n\n6. On the other hand, a further investigation of the country to be traversed by the line to Têngyüeh has shown that the line will certainly be much longer and more...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407443, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906", "page_number": 739, "title": "CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906", "content_text": "10. We have no reliable evidence that Mount Loi-mu has ever been known as Kung-ming Shan, but only the assertion of General Liu, who never visited it. Sir George Scott, who did visit it, and who could interrogate the natives, declares that such a name as Kung-ming Shan is not applied to it. Even if it were, Mount Loi-mu cannot be the \"very lofty mountain range\" of the Convention, for this last runs, according to the Convention, from longitude 99° 40′ to longitude 99° 30′, whereas Mount Loi-mu is a solitary peak in longitude 99° 0′.\n\n11. From point (c) the Convention boundary \"descends the western slope of the hills to the Namka River.\" If point (c) were Mount Loi-mu the only possible slope by which to reach the Namkha would be the eastern. It is perfectly clear that the Convention boundary approaches the Namkha from the east and not from the west.\n\n12. The point where the boundary between Munglem and Kiang Tong diverges from the Namka River\" is admitted by both parties to be \"Cairn 1 on the south, where the Namyung stream debouches into the Namkha River\"-to quote from Shih's Memorandum. To find point (d), therefore, all we have to do is to measure 10 minutes of latitude (or 113 geographical miles) in a straight line to meet the Namkha on the north. This falls in the near neighbourhood of the Su-hsing (Hsuphse) stockade. It cannot possibly fall, where Shih's map makes it fall, at Nungkiu (Nawnghkio), for that is 45 minutes (or some 52 miles) north of Cairn 1.\n\n13. It will thus be seen that all the arguments from the (a) latitudes and longitudes, (b) watersheds and rivers, mentioned in the Treaty support Scott's Line,\" and do not agree with Shih Taotai's line, still less with that of Lin and Ch'en-tajen.\n\nThere remains the argument employed in Shih Taotai's Memorandum, namely, \"according to the Treaty Chenpien is left to China, as is also Menglem, and this implies that all territory controlled by Chenpien or Menglem is left to China.'\n\nNow by Article V of the Convention of March 1, 1894, Great Britain agreed for certain considerations to renounce in favour of China all the suzerain rights in and over the State of Menglem, formerly possessed by the Kings of Ava concurrently with the Emperors of China. China, by officially accepting this renunciation, formally admitted that Great Britain had possessed such suzerain rights up to that date, March 1, 1894. The asserted surrender to China by its Sawbwa, Li Tungming, of Hsi-ming (Mongkha) in 1891, the \"recovery by Imperial troops\" of Menghsaw in the same year, and the Memorial and Rescript that ensued--all of which are brought forward as arguments in Shih Taotai's Memorandum-cannot possibly be admitted to prove China's claim, since they took place previous to the above date. Menglem could not extend its territory, whether at the expense of Hsi-ming and Menghsaw or otherwise, in 1891 without the consent of its co-Suzerain Great Britain, This consent was never given; on the contrary, we have consistently protested against Chinese troops being sent to, or stationed in, Isi-ming and Menghsaw.\n\n14. As regards Chenpien, this Sub-Prefecture was not created till 1887, after the British succession to the suzerain rights of the Kings of Ava had been recognized by China, China, therefore, could not include in Chenpien, which was to be directly administered by Chinese officials, any territory over which Burmah in 1886 had possessed suzerain or co-suzerain rights. Accordingly the expression \"Chenpien \"as used in the Convention of 1894 does not, and cannot, comprise any territory, such as Hsi-ming, Menghsaw, Menglem, or Kiang Tung, that came under either of these categories. It is not, however, necessary now to argue this point, for Shih Taotai's map distinguishes clearly between the district directly administered by the Sub-Prefect of Chenpien and the territory subject to the Hsi-ming Sawbwa.\" Chenpien proper, in short, is left by \"Scott's Line\" entirely to China.\n\nPage 44\n\n15. A similar argument applies to the districts marked in Shih Taotai's map as appertaining to:--\n\n(a.)

If the above States can prove that certain villages were really administered by them south or west of those lines before 1886, then by Article VI of the Treaty of 1894 the alignment as laid down in that Convention may be altered \"on the principle of equivalent concessions.”\n\nPage 5\n\nI shall be glad to learn whether it is the desire of your Government that the above arguments, or any modification of them, should be communicated to the Government of Yunnan.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nW. H. WILKINSON.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum on the Yunnan-Burmah Boundary, from the Namting to Nalawt, by Shih Hung-shao, formerly Acting Intendant of the Southern Circuit, and now Intendant of the Eastern Circuit.\n\n(Translation.)\n\n(Handed to Consul-General Wilkinson, July 25, 1906.)\n\nTHE present Memorandum deals with the undelimited frontier from Cairn 3 at Lai-bsing Shan (Loi Hseng), by the junction of the Namting and Nampa streams on the north, to Cairn 1 on the south, where the Namyung stream debouches into the Namkha River.\n\nThis boundary, it is to be observed, includes certain stockaded villages under the jurisdiction of the Mu-nai Tussu (Sawbwa), territory that has for many years paid land tax and \"corvée\" to the Chenpien Sub-Prefecture. There is Hsi-ming (Mengkha), originally subject to Menglem, but which later on seceded under Lo(hei) insurgents. Its Sawbwa, Tunguning, in the seventeenth year of the Kuang Hsi (1891) gave in his allegiance at the head of his men, and it has long been subject to the control of Chenpien. It has for years paid land tax and \"corvée.\" A Memorial that received the Imperial assent is conspicuous in men's eyes and ears. There is Mengso (Menghsaw), which also was originally subject to Menglem. It seceded under Han Ping-chao, but was recovered in the seventeenth year of the Kuang Hsu (1891) by Imperial troops and reverted to the control of Menglem, which receives land tax and * corvée,\" For all the above are records that may be consulted.\n\nFurther, this boundary follows the Namkha River from places east of the Namıkhan River, such as Namping, Kuauteh, Lungkhan, Fulang, Moyang, Lengkhau, Suhsing (Hsuphse), Kunghsin, Wengwo, and Manpien, some dozens of stockaded villages that were either old Menglem territory which for years paid land tax and provided labour and has never seceded, or which, having seceded under the rebels Cha and Han, has long since been recovered by the Imperial troops and for years been garrisoned. This is undoubtedly territory controlled and governed by Chenpien and Menglem (or, by Menglem in Chenpien).\n\nAccording to the Treaty, Chenpien is left to China, as is also Menglem; and this implies that all territory controlled by Chenpien or Menglem is left to China.\n\nAgain, the Treaty reads, \"shall follow the course of the river forming the boundary between Somu, which belongs to Great Britain, and Meng Ting, which belongs to China. It shall continue to follow the frontier between these two districts, which is locally well known, to where it leaves the aforesaid river and ascends the hills.\" If the boundary-line follows the Namting River, that forms the boundary, then not only the whole of Panbung, in the Upper Hulu, would be left to China, but Hn-pan (Hopang), belonging to Pank'uang (Pangkuan), in the Lower Hulu, and other places, would all have to be marked off as Chinese.\n\nIf this is abandoned and another boundary-line proposed, it would not follow the Namting River, but would start from the south bank of that river, west of Tungkha Hill, and go by Kungmeng (Kawngmawng) and the Menglin (Mongling) Hills to the Pach'ang Hills. To make a division by the Panhung and Pankuang Hills (2.q., to divide along the line of hills forming the frontier between Panbung and Pank'uang) would leave Panhung, in the Upper Hulu, to China, and Pank'uang, in the Lower Hulu, to Great Britain.\n\nAgain, it was originally suggested to leave the parts of the Kawa (Vü) territories bordering on Yünnan to Yunnan, and those bordering on Burmah to Burmah. This suggestion was very fair. The Wild Was' lands lie between Yünnan and Burmah. When delimited, account should be taken of local conditions. In short, Yunnan cannot overstep the Wild Was' lands and occupy districts controlled by Burmah Sawbwas; nor can Burmah overstep the Wild Was' lands and occupy districts controlled by Yunnan T'ussu. This is equitable dealing.\n\nPage 729", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 469429, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "page_number": 303, "title": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "content_text": "7\n\nseason, but that all had been uprooted by expeditions sent out in November and I see December, and there was no trace of any remaining when he came out.\n\nIt was no reason whatever to doubt this statement, but even if it was untrue, it was practically certain that there would not be a single plant left after his passing through; I therefore decided to take an entirely different road for our joint journey and selected the southern route via Poshang, the Tapeng ferry over the Mekong, Mengka, and Mengchu. This is a fairly well recognised, though little used, road, but I possess records of only isolated portions as having been previously traversed by British subjects.\n\nThe first two days' journey from Mienning via Poshang to Toukuo call for no special comment beyond the unusually good condition of the road-surface. Nature has so fashioned the province of Yunnan as to render it practically impossible for the road-builder to make the crooked straight; for some weeks prior to our passing through, however, human labour had done a great deal to make the rough places plain. In spite of pouring rain on the second day, we encountered no really serious obstacles.\n\nOn the 19th April, at the Taoyin's suggestion, we made a very early start in view of the formidable journey in front of us. After 6 miles of easy going, we reached the limits of the Mienning jurisdiction and bade farewell to the magistrate. No trace of opium poppy had we seen in his district, in which, as far as I could ascertain, he and his subordinates had carried out their suppression duties with exceptional thoroughness. The next 7 miles traversed a corner of what is now known as the Lants'ang (i.e., Mekong) district—formerly the sub-prefecture of Chênpien—and the going was very severe, though it must, in all fairness, be admitted that the country is extremely difficult, including a terrific descent for 3 miles through constantly subsiding red clay to the level of the River Mekong (2,750 feet). The crossing of the Mekong is effected in a single huge wooden boat with deep sides; mules and their loads are transported in this craft, the river-current being too swift to admit of the animals swimming across without danger. The ascent up the left or east bank of the Mekong is even more severe, and for 2 miles the ruling gradient is steeper than one in six. The consulate writer and I reached the halting-place about 2:20 P.M., followed about an hour later by the Taoyin and his party, who took up their quarters in a native hovel close to our selected camping site. Realising our discomfiture at the non-arrival of our mule-loads, Mr. Lu with friendly thoughtfulness sent us over a supply of tea and Australian biscuits, to which I at least did unhesitating justice. It was not till after sunset that the rest of my caravan turned up. At one of the steepest points of the descent to the Mekong the mule entrusted with my small but precious supply of glass and crockery had missed his footing and rolled headlong, load and all, for several hundred feet, and rescue had taken much time; further, heavy delay had been caused by the passage of the Mekong with but one unwieldy boat, to which the liveliest objection was displayed by most of the mules.\n\nTwo stages further, through pine-woods tenanted by peacocks and brilliant emerald-green parrots, brought us to the Chinese Shan town of Mêngka. At Tamotacho, the half-way halt, we came across a few families of Lahu race, said to be rapidly dying out in China. Given a plentiful supply of soap, water, and combs, the smaller children could, I am convinced, be made into strikingly pretty little gipsies.\n\nShortly before reaching Mêngka we were met by the Chingku district magistrate, La Kuang-shih, a Kuangsi man, who accompanied us so long as we continued in his extensive jurisdiction. Mêngka, the residence of a Shan Sawbwa, possesses also large temples and two monasteries in the Burmese Shan style; one in particular, over 200 years old, must have been very fine in bygone days.\n\nAt Liutsungt'eu'n, our halt mid-way between Mêngka and Mengchu, the Chinese Shan Sawbwa of the latter place, and Meng'an came over to pay his respects; both the excellence of his Chinese and his appearance gave the lie, I fancied, to his boasted pure Shan parentage. Mêng'an is one of the old Shan towns whence the original inhabitants have been practically ousted by the more thriving Chinese. Here, I was given fairly decent quarters in the temple of the god of war, now converted into a school, the discipline of which struck me as unusually good; the very natural curiosity at the arrival in their midst of the first white man ever beheld by any of the ninety scholars was never allowed to exceed the bounds of politeness.\n\nOn the 25th April, two days after leaving Mêngchu, we crossed the River Weiyuan (or Chingku, as it is now gradually becoming known) at Patieh. At this season of the year the stream is just fordable here: I managed, however, to find a place not much higher up where a swim proved welcomely refreshing. The next halt bore the ill-omened name of Ch'ou-Shui (\"Stinking Water\"), but I have stayed at many places in Yunnan where the water supply has been even worse. Two days later, after passing a few villages inhabited by natives of the strikingly handsome Puman race, we entered the Szemao district and were met by the local magistrate, Hsieh Shih; the following day, the 28th April, we arrived at Szemao, where spacious quarters were provided for me adjoining the Taoyin's Yamên. The Taoyin and magistrate pressed me to stay a week in Szemao; I consented to two days, but on the second day Mr. Lu urged that he still had important business to transact, and I could hardly refuse his request that we should postpone our departure for one more day. Both he and the magistrate were most hospitable during my stay, celebrated by two Chinese dinner-parties and a picnic.\n\nPrevious to my departure for Tengyuen, I had written to the commissioner of Szemao Customs, soliciting his co-operation to obtain for me, if possible, information on the subject of opium in the area under his cognisance. With that request M. R. de Nully, the commissioner (French), very courteously complied; he informed me quite definitely that, as the result of several punitive expeditions during the past winter, there was, as far as he was aware, no more cultivation of opium in the Szemao district, and that while probably at least 30 per cent. of the adult population of the town, both male and female, still continued to consume the drug, the enormous rise in price bore out his contention.\n\nFrom Szemao northwards towards Tali three routes were open to me; that via Chingku (Weiyuan) was ruled out by the fact that it had already been traversed by Lu Taoyin on his journey to Mienning to meet me; on the north-eastern route, via Talang—the main road to Yunnan-fu according to all the information I could obtain, a considerable quantity of opium had been grown, and harvested, earlier in the season, but very thorough measures of eradication had been carried out some weeks previously; I therefore decided to take the more direct but less frequented route via P'uêrh, Hsinfu (in Chênyüan district) and Chingtung.\n\nLeaving Szemao on the 2nd May, some three hours of travel, including a stiff climb, brought us to the boundary of the Puerh district, where the local magistrate, Chou Ju-chao, awaited us; the Szemao magistrate, however, continued to accompany us till the town of Puerh was reached the next day; on this day's journey our route crossed a splendid Chinese arched stone bridge, in admirable preservation. At Puerh, an old walled city with relics of fine stone carving, I was again given most comfortable quarters; Mr. Chou also entertained the Taoyin, the Szemao magistrate, and myself at a lengthy Chinese dinner.\n\nAt Mabei, the next stage, I took the opportunity to pay a visit to the large and flourishing salt mines about a mile and a half away. Dr. Kelly, the American representative of the Chinese Salt Administration, who had arrived about two months previously, was away on tour, but his English-speaking Chinese colleague very kindly demonstrated to me all the processes of Chinese salt extraction.\n\nThe next four stages, via Mop'o, Maupieh and Manlien, to Hsin-fu, call for little comment save for the extreme beauty of the scenery; on all sides rose range after range of pine-clad hills, mostly well-wooded to their summits; the valleys were, however, parched and bare, and travelling along the lower levels was excessively hot. Our route crossed the eastern section of the Chênyüan district, and midway during the third stage we were joined by the magistrate, Mo Yu-ju, a scholarly man of considerable charm of manner, with whom my relations during our five days of joint travel were exceedingly cordial, and from whom I parted with really genuine regret.\n\nThe only record in my possession of a route between Hsinfu and Chingtung dated from 1881, when the journey was made by a British traveller; our route, however, was almost entirely different from his, and we spent but five days on the distance which had taken him six. For the last three days we were accompanied by the Chingtung magistrate, Ming Fao-ch'ien, who came out to meet us. The surroundings of Chingtung breathe of ancient history; the last 5 miles of the road could hardly have been repaired for centuries, while of the city-wall nothing now remains save one single gate; peacocks strutting unmolested in the main street seemed likewise aloof from modernity. The magistrate's yamên was woefully dilapidated, and I was well housed by comparison in the newly built Szech'uan Guild premises. From Szemao we had travelled for twelve days on end, mostly in great heat, and a halt of one day was amply justified. For me it spelled the inevitable Chinese dinner-party, as the guest of the district magistrate.\n\nThis latter official was also among the number of those who have displayed special energies in the matter of opium suppression; practically every town and hamlet which\n\n299", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 490027, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "page_number": 518, "title": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "content_text": "## \n\nFor several days in succession I had seen nothing whatever of the Tengyueh Taoyin; at Chepi, however, much to my surprise, he rode over to call on me. The reason for the visit was only apparent when he propounded the astonishing request that as during seventeen days travel in his circuit we had only found one field of opium poppy, I would overlook it in my report to His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires. On my replying that, had we found one hundred I should be bound to report one hundred, and that I must equally report the one, he then suggested that I should add a rider that the field found was close to the scene of military operations against the offending Kachins. To this I rejoined that I had been over the country in question and he had not, and that I knew for a fact that the two places were at least two and a half days journey apart. Soon afterwards he took his leave, considerably crestfallen.\n\nApril 14th Shortly after leaving Chêpi the road to Mienning makes a very steep ascent of some 3,000 feet, on to a lofty shoulder, the view from which on a clear day must be magnificent, embracing extensive country in the jurisdiction of Shunning and Kengma, in the Tengyueh circuit, and Mieuning in the Puerh circuit. On an open bit of grass land just beyond a pillar marking the boundary, a large booth had been erected, and we were met by the P'uêrh Taoyin and the Mienning district magistrate, each of whom furnished a guard of honour.\n\nThe following day we reached the ancient walled city of Mienning, inhabited by a mixed population of Chinese and Shans, while Lolos and natives of several other tribes inhabit the surrounding villages.\n\nFor the journey from Mienning to Szemao my first care was to ascertain the route followed by the Taoyin to the rendezvous; he had come, as I expected, by the most direct road through Chingku-hsien (the modern name of Weiyuant'ing of Manchu times). I asked the Taoyin point-blank whether he had seen any opium cultivation on his outward journey; he replied that a few isolated patches had been sown at the beginning of the season, but that all had been uprooted by expeditions sent out in November and December, and there was no trace of any remaining when he came out. I see no reason whatever to doubt this statement, but even if it was untrue, it was practically certain that there would not be a single plant left after his passing through; I therefore decided to take an entirely different road for our joint journey and selected the southern route via Poshang, the Tapêng ferry over the Mekong, Mêngka and Mengchu.

The ascent up the left or east bank of the Mekong is even more severe, and for 24 miles the ruling gradient is steeper than one in six.\n\nTwo stages further, through pine-woods tenanted by peacocks and brilliant emerald-green parrots, brought us to the Chinese Shan town of Mêngka. At Tamotsoho, the half-way halt, we came across a few families of Lahu race, said to be rapidly dying out in China.\n\nShortly before reaching Mêngka we were met by the Chingku district magistrate, a Kuangsi man, who accompanied us so long as we continued in his extensive jurisdiction. Mengka, the residence of a Shan Sawbwa, possesses also large temples and two monasteries in the Burmese Shan style; one in particular, over 200 years old, must have been very fine in bygone days.\n\nAt Lientsungts'un, our halt mid-way between Mêngka and Mêngchu, the Chinese Shan Sawbwa, of the latter place, and Mêngpan came over to pay his respects.\n\nMêngchu is one of the old Shan towns whence the original inhabitants have been practically ousted by the more thriving Chinese.\n\nOn the 25th April, two days after leaving Mêngchu, we crossed the River Weiyuan for Chingku, as it is now gradually becoming known) at Patieh. Two days later, after passing a few villages inhabited by natives of the strikingly handsome Puman race, we entered the Szémao district and were met by the local magistrate; the following day, the 28th April, we arrived at Szemao, where spacious quarters were provided for me adjoining the Taoyin's yamên. The Taoyin and magistrate pressed me to stay a week in Szemao; I consented to two days, but on the second day the Taoyin urged that he still had important business to transact, and I could hardly refuse his request that we should postpone our departure for one more day.\n\nPrevious to my departure for Tengyuch, I had written to a reliable correspondent, soliciting his co-operation to obtain for me, if possible, information on the subject of opium in the area under his cognisance.

Before bidding farewell to the Puêrh Taoyin, I gave him a letter detailing our route through his circuit and congratulating him on the fact that we had discovered not a single opium poppy in a month's journey. In the course of an interesting conversation, he freely admitted that the task of suppression had been considerably easier in his circuit than elsewhere in the province; he was no less frank regarding the prevalence of opium smoking, and expressed the opinion that from three to five years must elapse before this would be stopped.\n\nPage [603] \n517 \n55 \n54", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 559854, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-57 - Sir Bowring - 1856 [7]", "page_number": 118, "title": "CO129-57 - Sir Bowring - 1856 [7]", "content_text": "54\n\nintiinated by Mr. Mitchell in the course of his correspondence with your department when the main matter was still under the cognisance of His Excellency in Executive Council.
