THE CANTON HANKOW

RAILWAY

Great Progress Made

DAWN OF A NEW ERA

Nanking, July 29.

A small pamphlet reviewing the progress of construction work on the Canton-Hankow line, written by Mr. H. H. Ling, Director and Engineer-In-Chief of the Chuchow-Shaochow Section of the line, gives the reader a good idea of the difficulties which have been encountered and surmounted in the course of building operations,

The linking up of Hankow with Canton has long been con- sidered an urgent need, politically as well as economically, so that the central part of China will be in direct touch with Can- ton, the great metropolis of the South. The first move for the construction of this rallway of 1,096 kilometres connecting two of the most important cities of China, with a population of nearly one million each, and passing through rich provinces with' an aggregate population of over ninety millions, can be traced a far back as 1896.

NEWS SUMMARY

The two Chinese who were charged with having in possession of 1,360 taels of raw opium and having imported them were discharged by Mrs W. Bohofield at Central Magistracy yesterday. Page 6
