A correspondent writes from Lungchow in Kuangsi Province of a road from that city to Langson in Tongking Proviice which was begun 30 years ago. Work was re-started last November, a French engineer being employed, and a celebration inaugurating the new road was held recently. February 17 was the date of the Grand Opening and festivities were held in Lungchau. Visitors made the trip from Langson on that morning which was beautifully bright and clear, and arrived in Lungchai about 10.30 am. The route traversed led through bits of Kuangsi's most beautiful scenery. A splendid reception was given the guests which began when their approach was heralded with trumpets and fire crackers. The Yamen of Mr. Wu, Vice-Commissioner of Border Police, was used as a reception hall and it was beautifully decorated with flags of all nations.
