TELEGRAM No 109 282 words
GIVEN IN AT Kalgan 30-6-1910

Can't help with codes but it is likely that the No. 109 means that this was the 109th telegram sent from Kalgan office since its opening in 1901!
In his account of the 1907 Peking to Paris race Luigi Barzini tells of sending a telegram to "Daily Telegraph" from Pong-kiong office (the next office 200 miles N-W of Kalgan) on 18th June 1907. His telegram was numbered 1, on enquiring if this meant the first of the day he was told "No, sir, from the time the office was started, six years ago."
