At French creek is a very
fair site for bridge. The ap.
proaches are not difficult and
the span will not need to ex-
ceed two hundred feet. The
bridge will be eighteen or
twenty feet above high water
mark, which is ample. The
banks are generally abrupt
and difficult hereabouts, but
nature is sometimes kind.
Climbing over the rocks and
bluffs, it seemed severe. Smith
says, sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof let us
climb when we have to-" La
ter on another of the party
says that time seems now to
have arrived" so we climbed
a trifling bluff of three or four
hundred feet. In a chasm we
came upon a cougar feasting
upon the carcass of a fine
buck he had just pounced up
on. He fees, but we do not
pursue. Several bear cnllven
the monotony of the mountain
scenery. Indeed the country
about Fall creek appears to be
a fine place for hunters.
We regret that the limited
time at our disposal has pre-
vented so careful study of the
country as we hoped to make
but we are satisfied that no
considerable errors of location
have been made, trifling ones
can be corrected at any time.

Hon. N. b. Wiley Gives a
Description Of the
Route, etc.
THE PRELIMINARY WORE
OF THE COMNTISSIOy
COMPLETED.

rOau is a matter or interest tC
many of your readers, some
account of its progress may be
acceptable. We, that is the
commission, commenced the
location of the road on June
22nd, at a point on the Big
Payette lake, known as Wagon
bay. From Salmon Meadows
to that place, about nine miles,
a pretty fair road already ex-
lists, made by tie cutters and
tourists. Here rough and diff
ficult ground commences at
once, There was choice of
routes, over a mountain about
three miles, or along the lake
shore. We concluded to give
contractors the option of the
two. Thence the road will
follow the Payette on the
north side to the upper lake.
The work is not difficult nor
the grades excessive. At the
upper lake the road climbs
upon higher ground at once
but a good route appeared
when hunted for. From Squaw
Meadows to the summit there
still remained some snow and
the growth Of timber is some
thing extraordinary. From
the summit or watershed be-
tween the waters of the Pay
cite and Salmon rivers the
road will follow the valley of
Secesh creek, now much ob-
structed by snow slides, to the
Warm Springs. The distance
as measured is, from Wagon
Bay to head of lake, 81 miles;
thence to upper lake, | | miles;
from upper lake to Warm
Springs. l28 miles in all 274 /;
miles.
From Warm Springs up Lake
creek the road will follow the
usually travelled trail to the
junction of trails, g. miles,
thence we surveyed a route
following more or less nearly
the old trail towards Shearer's
ferry and reached Salmon riv-
er at the mouth of French
creek, distance III miles. OF
this number, ii miles are rug
ged and difficult. We calcula-
ted that a grade of six degrees
was the highest allowable for
a good road and examined
mountain sides, gulches and
so-called flats for several days
and succeeded in locating a
route that we believe to be
the best. Then we returned
to the junction of trails and
ran a line down by the other
more easterly trail to Cary's
wire bridge, distance of l65
miles from Warm Springs. As
a route to reach Salmon river
this is not so difficult as the
other, but on crossing the riv-
er there seemed to be no possi-
BILE exit for a wagon. By the
best means at our command
we estimated the mountain to
rise 4,500 feet in five miles.
So we returned to the French
creek route and climbed the
mountain side to the old Knott
ranch. Here for IL miles oc-
ours the heaviest grade and
most difficult work upon the
route. The road climbs along
cliffs and across chasms and
past hot springs, and the soen-
cry is grand, and where one is
used to it, delightful. Thence
to Florence there is no diff
Guilty. From Florence to Mt.
Idaho the road will generally
follow the Melnor trail. In
most cases what is the best
route for a trail is best also for
a wagon road. At Slate creek
a circuit increases the length
of the road about a mile. The
distance from Mt. Idaho to
Florence by our survey is 364
miles and from Florence to
