CHEFOO

Chefoo is much in need of railway communication as well as improvements in the harbour. The Chefoo Harbour Improvement Commission, constituted under authority from Peking, has engaged a Dutch engineer of repute and work on the breakwater will probably be begun early in 1914. These improvements, in the estimation of business men, will greatly develop the importance of Chefoo as a trade centre. Chefoo is an important port of call for large numbers of regular line and tramp steamers, being in the line of communication between Indian, South China, Japanese, Corean and Man- churian ports and the ports in the north. During the season from March to December as many as twenty to thirty steamers per day often enter and clear the port. The port supplies Vladivostock and Siberia with upwards of one hundred thousand coolies annually; the coolies leave for Vladivostock during the spring months, and those returning reach Chefoo in the latter part of the year. This movement of coolies furnishes business for numbers of steamers,
