(10) We broke camp this morning & traveled to Wa-
then, a small village some 3 hours away.
& at noon we had a quiet 1/2 hour of rain. Camp was pitched well up the Salween gorge below the Hsank Shan T'zing village. On the route over we passed thru hilly country of granite formation with rice terraces & jagged all the palles & pine trees & trees on the hillsides.
The common pine & white pine & chestnut trees are the common trees. At one of the students paper manufacturing in progress. This chip-pulp paper is made from bamboo stems. The stems are first boiled in lime to clean them & then they are soaked in large tanks immersed within it a fiber forms a pulp mass. A fine screen is dipped into this & an area of fiber is skimmed off which is laundered off & deposited carefully
