stories, or rather two routes very badly
mixed when il saws the rOaibed of the "Cld
Portage can ''still be seen from the ears of
the Pa r. r. after passing west over the
Horse Shoe Bend - that sit lies on the left
hand side of the road and faces chasms from
three to five hundred feet Deep" that sit can
also be plainly seen between GallitZin and
Cresson," and that there is a tunnel of the
cold Portage" at GallitZin ''almOst as long
as the Allegheny tunnel" 1t is needless

The stock of logs in what Is called the river
