The German Concession

contains, as yet, only number of large godowns connected with the oil, skin, and shipping business, but it promises to be an important place before long. In the thorough German way of doing things, they fare busy raising the whole area, and for this purpose late imported a tramway to bring the mud from a long way back. There will thus be no trouble from low-lying lots such as vexed the English Conce-sivn for so Jong, and which will by and by bother the French.
