Chaoyang

— Dr. R. E. Worley was appointed to this work in 1903, but his devoted, self-sacrificing service was brief, for in the summer of 1907 he was drowned while crossing Swatow Bay after his regular weekly visit to Chaoyang, where he had a dispensary.

— Peiping's public security bureau has been paralyzed by mob actions, according to an intelligence report reaching Taipei. The report said that since the Tienanmen uprising last April 6 each branch of the city's security bureau has been raided by mobs three to five times. The Chaoyang branch of the bureau received the brunt of the mob attacks, the report said. It was visited by angry rioters nine times in a single month, and 14 of its officials were killed.

— In Chaoyang, a hilly county in western Liaoning bordering the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the dryness has become a way of life. 'It's no use despairing,' said farmer Mr Xing, leaning on his bicycle by the roadside. 'We plant drought-resistant crops like cotton, peanuts and sweet potato.' Covering the soil with plastic sheets also helped retain moisture, he said. Like migratory birds, the cloud-seeding plane of the 13th Division of the air force arrived last week for its six-month stay in the county. For more than 10 years, cloud-seeding has increased the annual rainfall by 55 mm, according to Chaoyang county administrator Sun Yi.
