A sigh of relief goes up the paving contract has been awarded. Medford continues to lead the smaller cities of Oregon not only in being the first to let paving con tracts, but in quantity of paving let. Asphalt paving is a standard pavement. People try this and that pavement, and then come back to asphalt as the best for the money. It is no better, in the opinion of manv not near so good as bitulithic, but it is cheaper. It is an opportune time to pave. The great paving compames, usually in truce with each other, are at war. The California firms are beginning an invasion of Oregon, which the Oregon branches of the national concerns are seeking to resist. The result is cheap pavement. Perhaps it will be years before such another opportu- aty occurs again. After a ew months fighting, the con ractors will, as usual, bury the hatchet, divide the terri ory and again charge all the traffic will bear. Meanwhile, we have cheaper pavement.

ALL WORK GUARANTEED But two hundred persons gathered at the Calcutta sta tion recently to greet the ruler of the last shut-in land to yield to modern civilization. The Dalai Lama of Lhasa, spiritual chief among 150,000,000 people, has sought with the British viceroy an asylum from the Chinese who over run Thibet. He has bathed in the Ganges, filthy, but sa cred. He has gone to the lingy palace reserved for him and his attendants, but it will be no mvsterv, savs the New York World. Abyssinia was the shut-in land of our grandfathers. It claims to be the oldest continuously Christian country, but it was for centimes hemmed in by barbarian and Moham edan tribes. England fqund an excuse to carry war to Negus Theodore, and he proposed to marry Queen Victoria to quiet the dispute. .The offer was refused; but now Abyssinia is "open." j So lately as 1867 Mutsuhito of Japan was the shut-in i mikado of a sealed land; the Shogun had usurped his po litical powers, but he was the religious head of the Shinto iaitn. Je aereated. tne bnogunate, opened J apan, develop-, especially suited to the occasion eaan army and navy, tnrasned (Jnina andvKussia a mar velous life record for one young man, mured in palace walls, whom it was death for his own subjects to look upon. CJorea was a closed land a little longer; now it listens to the ailway whistle and patronize moving-picture shows. Thibet was better guarded; by wilderness north au.l vest and by snow and mountain sickness on the high south jrn passes; it was only linked to China by caravan rout -of such hardships that to "promote" a fat Peking man darin to Thibet was almost signing his death warrant. But it had to yield; and from his skyscraper palace in Lhasa, that would be a marvel even in New York, the weak boy into whom the soul of Buddha flitted, at the death of the most recent of tho long line of boy Lamas unmysteriously cut off, is an exile. One little spot he can almost see from the deck of 1 's Red Sea steamer still remains shut to the explorer. Tr, is only a shrine, not a capital. And even toward Mcnca .he railroad is wriggling through the hills.
