Americans to Build Railways in China Survey Work Begun
American engineers begin surveying two routes for railways in China as plans to open the country to rail and agriculture progress. One line runs from Lon ghowta to Yungehowh in Kwangtung province, about 500 miles, with the other from Chowklakew in Homa province through Nanyangfu to Hsiangyangta in Rupe province. The Hing river area near Bo ngking serves as a key commercial center with fertile valleys. The routes promise significant engineering challenges but are expected to be highly profitable once completed.
