WAGON ROAD RErwEEN SNoHoM 81 CITY
AND SEA1TLE.-At The exclusive expense
of the citizeus of Snohomish, a survey
has lust been completed for wagon
road betneen Snohomish City and Sc
attle. Mr.. Ballou. the surveyor, has
furnished us the following description
of the surveyed line: From Snohomlsh
City. it follows the old Government
road 3 miles; thence south 20 deg west
as for a general course until 1t strikes
Lake Washington, at a point near the
corner of section 10, township 26 north
range 5 east; thence survey has been
made for road or trail to, connect with
the old military road at point about
u niles north of Seattle. The distance
from Snohomish City to the head OF
Lake Washington is a little short OF Il
miles; estimated cost OF building the
the road, 200 or 800 mile. There
is but little bridging or corduroy to be
done. The distance from the head OF
Lake Washington to Seattle by land Is
about Is miles, as the survey runs.
The surveyor thinks the route can be
shortened about 3 miles, can be easily
bailt, upon high and dry ground. 1t IS
to Nbe hoped our merchants, business
men and property holders will take lm'
mediate measures to cooperate with the
enterpising people OF Snohomish in this
important work.

sharply against his playing for OF order
