its officials from outside provinces, and they carry
on in the same old way of squeeze and oppression.
Pereira stayed here with Mr. and Mrs. Mosely
and Mr. Christie of the Christian and Missionary
Alliance.
On March 13 he proceeded again down the
broad valley of the T'ao Ho. The soil was loess
and fertile and there were plenty of villages. It
is a great tobacco-growing country, most of the
tobacco being sent to Szechwan. The important
market towns of Hsin-tien-pu at 122 miles and
Hsin-tien-chen at 20 miles were passed, the
former having a population of 350 families and
the latter of 100 families. And at 24 miles was
T'ao-sha-hsien, a new " city " of forty houses,
with a mud wall which had only recently been
built. Sha-leng, a town of 97 families, was
reached at 25i- miles. The weather was fine and
mild.
Next day the road first lay down the valley
of the T'ao River and turned to the right and
ascended through loess cuttings on to a bleak,
bare hilly country with practically no trees. A
few villages were seen. Then there was a rather
steep climb to the top of the Kuan-shan-ling,
8110 feet, followed by a descent to A-Kan-chen,
6650 feet, a town of 300 families. The weather
was again fine and mild.
Lan-chow was at last reached on March 15.
