Harbin, Nov. 15.
Eight miles of track of the new TaonanTeitsihar Railway are stil partially under water as a result of the recent flood of the Nonni river and it has not_yet been possible to restore traffic on the 30 miles Tong section from the Nonni to the station Angachi (adjoining the Chinese Eastern Railway). The construction of this line was carried out by the South Manchuria Railway Ca., who acted as contractor and was to be handed over to the ministration this fall. As through swampy and low grounds, the flood waters recede only slowly, greatly delaying repair-work, which will only be possible when the cold weather sets in. The Japanese technical staff, however, are confident that they will be able to restore the line te working conditions by the end of December, and at the same time the profile of the railway will be raised considerably, s0 as to prevent fur ther damage from floods,
