The opening of the Tan-Pao motor road between Siangtan and Ps ching was celebrated by a seventy-table feast at Paoching on 12th instant. The first cars to go through wore decorated with bunting and flowers and a band played music all the way. The new garage on the river front here is a palatial affair, New cars have been added, most of the ears on this road are American Dodge ears and seem to give splendid service. The new bodies are a great improvement over the old ones and they carry three or four Passengers more than the old cars. The fare between Siangtan and ching is $5.90. Two or three changes must be made, since no cars are going all the way through.
