Kuling, Jan, 30.
We are experiencing a real winter at Kuling this year, with early frosts in November and December, and the thermometer frequently below zero finally turning to snow about Christmas time. Our deepest fall of snow was about 12 inches during the middle of January, most of which melted Jaway, but another fall since, of 6 Jinches, sti covers the ground, making, fairy scene on every hand., There has been quite a bit of tobogganing this year, which the younger genera~ tion enjoyed to the full.
In spite of the very cold weather a restricted water service has been maintained on the Kuling streets, by allowing a certain amount of water to) run day and night, though this has meant a big drain'on the reservoir in the Hankow Gorge, and constant attention on the part of those in charge.
Dircetly the Rendition took place the Director of the Lushan Administra tion and his staff moved into. the former Kuling Estate Office from West Valley. though the building is really too small for the combined work now Involved, and we hear that another storey may be added to the building in the near future.
