Railway lines were laid wide open to the special, which shot along | through the night at a speed never before attained on these northern lines. This train brought adequate provision for any possible medical or nursing emergency. The workings of Hollinger have a total length of nearly eighty miles, and there are twenty shafts connect: ing these workings with the surface. This illustrates the very good possi: bility of men finding their way beyond the influence of gas and smoke and being content to remain there until the fumes may be expelled from the upper. workings.

Migration B Begins In China Proper Two Million People Expected to Move North to Manchuria Harbin, Manchuria.--Manchuria is preparing to receive this year between 2,000,000 and 4,000,000 immigrants from China proper. A tidal wave of humanity, one of the greatest immigration movements in history, poured north out of China proper during 1927 and in the first month this year. Continual civil war in__Central China, particularly in the Provinces of Shantung and Honan, coupled with high taxes, overcrowding and mon- archy are considered responsible for the great population movement. The 1928 hegira will start in full blast late this month and will con-- tinue umtil the late fall, poverty- stricken Chinese taking advantage of the warm weather to move their fam- ilies and belongings into the three eastern provinces Manchuria. In Manchuria, it is not the flocks of wild geese and ducks which the Chi- ndse consider as the first sign of spring, but the sight of the first emi- grants from Shantung. Local Chinese commercial unions, basing their estimates, on figures from the over-populated districts in Cen- tral China, belleve the exodus this year will reach 4,000,000. Japanese transportation experts suggest that 2,000,000 will be closer to accuracy: The great bulk of emigrants are expected to settle in the district north and to the east and west of Harbin. Timber and water are plentiful in this area, but marketing facilities and transportation are absent. ~In-addi- tion, the settlers must cope with great bands of bandits and tax collectors of Generalissimo Chang Tso Lin.
