Hongkong lies at the foot, and W
the side, Of steep hill or mountain
called the Peak" besides some fine
residences along the summit. By
means of the pumps the water is raised
TO a 500 foot level, and to the Peak at an
elevation of 1850 feet. The chief cost
of such works is the first cost, for the
running expenses are very small
The system of water mains and water
distribution was explained 10 us by
the Superintendent. He stated that
they found smaller reservoirs at var
ious points remote from the main
reservoir to be of great service for
equaliZing the flow. This is upon
the plan heretofore advocated by Mr..

OF the wisdom of the principles of the
new quarantine law and regulations.
With increasing commerce the danger
Of exposure to contagious and infectious

reasonable enforcement of the reguIa-
lions should be insisted upon, subject
however, to certain discretionary DOW

sions will rise when questions will have

WATER AND SEWER SYSTEMS OF
HONGKONG.

Learning that the water supplied to
the city of HOngkong was filtered, we
obtained permission to examine the
works. In company with DR.. Jordan
and the superintendent we visited the
filtering tanks and saw and had ex-
planned to us the whole process. There
are number of cemented reservoirs
about five feet deep, separated by di-
vision walls, in which layers of gravel
and sand are placed. The water is adj
mitted to the depth of two or three
feet and filters through the beds of
sand and gravel and is discharged au-
tomaucally through a gate into the
pipe which carries it to a storage
reservoir.
AS the surface of the upper layers
of filtering material become covered
with deposit from the water the tanks
are cleaned successfully by running the
water off and removing the deposit
with shovels. The filtration was
very complete, but it seemed to me
that the process involved considerable
labor and expense.
The superintendent had lust com
pleted his annual report and kindly
promised to forward a copy. This
report will give full details of plan.

But the extent of the market and the
number and varieties of fish was mar

creatures that resembled centipedes

DR.. Yamane took us also to one Of
the crematories, where we witnessed
the process of cremation This Gre
matory has thirty furnaces arranged
in two rows with a passage-way be-

the compartments through doors open

was performed in the day time by |

FUMIGATION AT HONGKONG AMI
Annoy.

There are no proper facilities for
disinfecting the clothing of passengers
at HOngkOng or Annoy. There is a
small plant for disinfecting with heat
ed air and steam at the Civil Hospital
in HongkOng but it is not available.
Under the circumstances we instruct
ed the Inspectors at those ports that
until further order fumigation with sui
phur for twenty-fOur hours might be
substituted.
We did not insist for the present
upon quarantining of passengers prior
to embarkation at HOngkong, chiefly
because of the facts of local sanitary
inspection being enforced by the Vic
torian Government, and of the fact
that at Hongkong and vicinity the
plague had diminished to a very few
cases.
But we instructed the Inspector at
Annoy that five days quarantine before
embarkatiOn must be enforced. because
of the entire lack of sanitary meas
ures on the part of the Chinese gov
eminent, and the great prevalence of
plague in that neighborhOod.

THE OIL INDUSTRY
The Market Dull, but the Outlook Is Good.
Secretary Strasburg Talks

The Market Dull but the Outlook Is Good
Secretary Strasburg Talks
The local oil industry may be character
lied as quiet just at present, vergng on
dizziness. This state of affairs is result
of the low prices prevailing for oil and the
fact that the industry has developed faster
than the market
Edward Strasburg, secretary of the Oil
Exchange, was seen at the office of the ex-
change in the Bradbury block yesterday
afternoon. The gentleman has just re-
turned from San Francisco, where he went
to try TO place the first shipload of oil from
this section. and gave some in eresting in
formation about the oil situation in that
city. Mr. Strasburg said that while he had
been unable to place the cargo of oil, he
had accomplished something by his visit.
The plant of the exchange in San Francis
co, wnere they have been carrying on
general retail business had been sold to
the Arctic Oil company, together with the
oil on hand, amounting to some 5000 bar
rels, and the exchange will hereafter coIl-
tlnuc in the Wholesale business exclusively,
as before he venture. Mr.. Strasburg takes
:. very hopeful view of the future, despite
the prevailing depression, and says that
he is confident that market can be had
in San Francisco for the entire surplus of
Southern. California in the course of
time. Manufacturers are very back
ward about changing their plants from
coal to oil until they are satisfied
that the supply is permanent. AS it is the
price of coal has been reduced in San
Francisco 33 per cent by the competition
of oil, and there are now 100000 tons of
coal in that city which has been brought
over by wheat ships as ballast. Under
these circumstances, Mr.. Strasburg says
that the depression is not unnatural, and
that when normal conditions again prevail
better prices will follow. Besides the con-
sumption is constantly increasing, and if
the Southern Pacific carries out intention
to operate all local trains with oil, the
problem is solved AS to the reported
falling off in production. Mr.. Strasburg
sa d that was onlS the natural decrease,
and that in timo new wells would be sunk
to make up the deficit. Oil is now selling
at so cents per barrel f. o. b. or delivered
in the city.
Manager Harvey of the Standard Oil
company said there was nothing new to re-
port. The Standard are rot in the market,
as their tanks were full. New tanks are
now being constructed, with capacity of
$4,000 barrels, and when these are COM
pleted they will be ready to do business.
There is nothing in handling oil while the
present prices prevail.
