THE WEST RIVER FLOODS.
FURTHER REFORT BY MR. 4. E. WOOD.
SHI HING, July 17th. The following further report by Mr. A. E. Wood on the conditions of the West River Floods has been communicated to us-for-publication :
The most important problem immediately facing us up here is the repair of the eme bankments to noable the second crop to ho planted. It is clear that nothing can he done except in co-operation with the local authorities, particularly the District Officer, and the Canton Relief Society: The Dis trict of Ko Yin, where we are working and which is probably the most severely distress- et of any, has recently undergone n' change of administration. The late Officer left early this week and his successor, Mr. Pin Tso In consequence of Wing, has just arrived. this change there has been inevitable delay, But Mr. P has, at once plunged into netivity and is collecting a report from each Identity showing the number and size of the brenchies in the banks, and the agent of The Canton materials needed for repair. Relief Society has provided printed forms. ready for filling in with the above informa- of the tion. together with the names. individuals in euch eality who will see 10 | the distribution of the rice to be provaled for the workmen. This inforiuntion, it is hoped, will be ready by next Wednesday, July 2nd, when we shall meet representa- tives from each locality and from the Canton Relief Society, who are being asked to attend, in the Yamen of the District Officer, If we have fine weather, work may be -begun in a week, but an inpleasant amonat f rain has been falling. Of material things needed for the embankment repairs, I de nes anticipate that anything exempt rive for the workmen will be called for from Hong- kong, bat no definite recommendation can be made till after next week's meeting.
COMPANY REPORT.
THE HONGKONG CENTRAL
ESTATE, LTD.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, JCLY ZJED, 1914.
The following statement is to be pre sunted at the statutory meeting of this Company, which is called for Monday
With regard to rice for immediate relief. I am momentarily expecting the bags which were sent from Hongkong on the night of 13th. But sich excellent. work has been done in the last week by various societies and individuals that immediate relief is not absolutely pressing. I have visited various Woonlities this week and sind in each case that effective relief has been given. To give a single instance in detail. Thi Wan, whi-h I visited on the 14th, and which contains 72 willage with an estimated total of 30,000 distitute has received a total of 100,000 entties at relief rice from private companies. the Chun Kong. Tai Sun and Wing Cheung, from Mr. Cheung Pat Sz, from Chinese residents in Mauno, from Fatshan, and from the Halt merchants of Canton, as well as from the Canton Relief Society and through the Canton Government. Lin Tong, # 'com) – paratively remote incality, containing, a its careful books show, Is villages with totni of 16,409 destitute persons, has received 64,400 encties. Every village is n little vague about its deaths: they vary from 3 to 100, but the village that returned
deaths from drowning added that it not count those crushed to death. We have received nu complaints of sickness, and an offer af medicine
not accepted, Medicides have, however, boen sent up by the Yan To Tong druggist Brm. At this moment I am not asking for a further ship- neut of rice, but it must be recumbered that there is a long stretch of poverty ahead. before the second crop is ripe. And it is well to have resources in hand. During the week I was glad to "walemon back “Air Tong Yat Chun, who brought with him a fellow director of the Tung Wa Hospital, Mr. Chen Yus Ting.

A GOLDFISH STORY.
The goldfish which thrive in the warm mineral water of the famous Roman bakhs at Bath have learned to ring a bell for their dinner. A metal ball floats in the water with an ingenious pivot attach- uent, from which strings hang down in the water.. When the goldfish pull the strings a bell sounds and a cup of ants' eggs is turned automatically into the water. The fishoujoy the new game, which is watched daily by interested crowds.
