China Population Distribution and Transport Summary
A historical notice describes China’s population density by region, noting 95 percent of people live in one third of the area with 200 per square mile, while 5 percent inhabit the southern provinces with 230 per square mile. Transportation is limited south of the Yangtse, with railways operating only near Canton and Yunnan and most goods moved by paths, boats, or on backs. The excerpt also mentions the Iowa cream separator and a price reference, followed by an administrator’s notice for the estate of Sampson T. Rowe with claims due to July 1920.
