- Site of Old Fort George.
To me city man one of the most
satisfying views, a vista which never
loses its charm or variety. Is the broac
area which greets tlio eye nt the his
toric site of old Fort George In upper
Manhattan. When reached by the sub
way, the visitor In alighting at the
191st street station platform Is a
once aware that he Is deep below the
I surface of the ground. From the
vaulted roof of the "tube" he hears
the drip, drip of water from deep un
derground springs that will not be
closed and which all human ingenuity
has thus far been unable to copo with.
To the left he sees the entrance to
New York's famous tunnel street, a
connection hollowed out of solid rock
to the roadway of upper Broadway,
which here runs deep down in the
valley between the two towering rocky
spines of the northern end of the is
land. Then taking the elevator, the
impression of .depth is continued and
the visitor goes up and up and on up
till the surface Is reached nearly -
feet above the level at which he alight

OLD AND PROFITABLE TRADE
Chinese Government Derives a Hand
some Revenue From the Tea Mar
kets of Szechuan Province.
The ten trade of Tatsienlu, In the
Chinese province of ^hLa clnian, near
the Tibetan border, was first started
in tTTe reign of Yung Clieng. some L'<k>
years ago. At that time, it i? said,
Tatsienlu did not exist as a town, but
tents were pitched in the valley, and
the Tibetans gathered and bartered
on the occasion of religious
The tea trade is now established
under government control, yielding a
handsome revenue. Licenses are Is
sued quarterly, and taken up by over
100 firms engaged in the trade. Each
license costs one tael In Chinese
money, equivalent to about 80 cents in
American exchange. The license al
lows the holder to import five bales of
tea into Tatsienlu. more helng permit
ted according to requirements.
Ten has become almost indis
pensable to the Tibetans, hence they
are naturally drawn to the tea mar
ket, to which they bring their own
products for sale or exelmnge. One
of the largest firms in Tatsienlu buys
as many as 20,000 bales, others 10, 000
bales. The total regular licenses Is
sued annually Is given as 108,000. The
licenses were formerly issued at
Cheng tu, but the authority was trans
ferred to Tatsienlu in 1018.
Under the old arrangement, (he tax
was paid when the tea actually passed
the local customs at Tatsienlu. Now
It Is paid when the license? are issued,
or within three months of that time.
The annual turnover is fully 1,000,0<X)
taels. f>ince the trade has been es
tablished s?? long, it has probably
reached Its muxliuum, but with seri
ous competition from India, which the
Chinese have feared for many years,
the trade in Tatsienlu would declin*
materially.
