'A few days since we had an expected visit from the well-known missionary and traveller Mr, Uperaft. He left his home in Yachou a little over x month ago and has made the trip to Yuelshiting and back across the mountains to Kiating. He is enthusiastic in praise of the scenery in the districts he visited. He made a large part of the journey on foot and had many an exciting experience owing to the steep nature ai some of the passes he crossed and the heavy rains. He made a short trip into the Lolo country and saw a good deal of their ways of living, A PRINTING PRESS, Dr. B.C, Hart of the Canadian Methodist Mission has established here the first Protestant printing press in the West of China. He has now two presses set up and has 0 good staff of men working steadily nnd has orders that will require months to fill. The work is one that will probably grow in a short time to one of large dimensions.
