February was passing. The days of
fitful sunlight were becoming more
frequent. The camp was humming
with business. Silent, bent on the
thing in hand, the Indians worked
without need of encouragement.
The slough was bank-full and its
surface was covered from dawn to
dark with floor of logs slowly drift
ing on every tide downward to the
backwater. 81
At the slough's mouth huge cradle
was slowly forming in its braces.
Here the little loading donkey puffed
and footed, graphing many-ton tim
bers with it's two drag-hooks. placing
them here and there. The mass Of
chains covered the bottom of the
cradle few feet apart.
Twelve men worked continually at
the great marine monster. packing the
logs inside the cradle, carrying the
giant chains up and over as the snug
floor reached the top, lacing the whole
together and at last lifting the center
gently. thus giving to the thing its
likeness to vast cigar.
A timber-scaler, sent down by the
Portland firm, was constantly In at.

PLAN NEW CITY FOR CHINA
Hankow, Destroyed in Revolution, May
Be Rebuilt In the Form Of
Triangular Island.

The recent agitation regarding the
proposed rebuilding of that part of
Hankow. China, destroyed during the
which may make the city e triangular
island, and for this an English COM
pany offered Tin July, 1910 to furnish
$5O,000,000 at the close of the war
then pending.
Commissioner Yam Tu has drawn up
comprehensive plan of improve
ment. One preliminary survey and one
minute survey have been made, and all
preparations for laying out the sites,
digging the new canal and construct
ing the river bridges are being active
ly pushed on. N
The best part OF the city Is now q
strip of land along the river Yangtze,
and this has been turned into conces-
sions, SO that nothing can be done in
regard to it. d.
Next in Importance Is the land be-
tween the river and the old market
place, which Is the only area on which
developments can be made. As the
lower end Of the market place is con-
nected with the concessions. no extern
sion can be made on that side.
At the rear Is q shallow lake, and
without great effort it cannot be
turned into a market.
A comprehensive review Of the stu
'ation which recently appeared in the
Chinese National Gazette has met
with widespread approval. II says:
The strip Of land behind the conces-
sions and the site of the lake are all
distant from the river, hence trans
portation is difficult. Chinese COM
merce should extend and expand, and
other undertakings must be effected.
Those In charge Of the project
now intend to open . canal, beginning
at the upper part Of the Han river.
extending along the rear Of the con-
cessions and joining the Yangtze river.
Thus Hankow viii be . triangular
island.

be able to cast anchor. and the de-
velopment Of industries and com
