line, and extensive repairs will probably be necessary before it can safely be opened to general traffic. Owing to financial and other difficulties due to the European War, work on the railway was interrupted, at this end, south of Chüchow. The continued disturbances within the Province prevented any further work from being done on the Changsha-Canton section of the Canton-Hankow railway in 1919. The export of coal and coke is becoming an important feature in the trade of the district. The coke, which is said to be of excellent quality, is used almost exclusively by the Hanyang Iron Works; the coal is finding an extending market for bunker use. The colliery is under excellent management, and the supply is said to be almost limitless.

With its fertile plains, mountains seamed with mineral wealth, and its sturdy population, there would seem to be a brilliant future before this province. Until, however, modern machinery is applied, railway communication extended, and capital introduced, no great expansion can be anticipated. The climate of Changsha is excellent There is no great heat the summer is short, and there is no malaria, the poisonous mosquito not existing here. When the railway is open the scenery traversed will make this journey the most popular in China.
