yR ROAD,
~ spary
The Dosl &eque Plains to
Have q New Outlet.

Thursday Messrs. H. W. Stew
enson, +. T. Brandon and G. G.
Wyatt, OF Doumacque Plains,
arrived in Cottonwood as COM
mittee appointed by the people
of their section to interview the
business men OF the several towns
of the Prairie, relative to the
construction of a wagon road
across Salmon river to the Prai-
RE. The road in question COM
mences at the head of Middle
canyon at the "Wild Horse" cor
raj, then running down said can
yon to Rice creek, thence to Sal
mon river at the mouth of Rocky
canyon, thence up the canyon to
intersect the county road run
ming south from Cottonwood.
The people of the Doumacque
Plains are now compelled TO
reach the Prairie via White Bird,
at which point they have to cross
the ferry and climb steep hill.
This hill is SO steep that wagons
going down rough-lock both
hind wheels and chain drag log
behind in order to reach the bot
tom with safety. The ferry at
this point also affords considera-
BILE opportunity for dissatisfac-
ton, as the committe informs the
REPORT that in order to get their
mail they must necessarily pay
$50 for crossing the ferry, and
teams have been charged as high
as $4.0O to cross.
The proposed new road, it is
claimed, affords an excellent
grade on both sides of the river,
and as there are about 200 per-
sons now located on the Plains
it stands to reason that all the
towns of the Prairie will at once
appreciate the importance of the
road and raise the necessary
funds for completion. The com.
mittee informed the REPORT that
if the Prairie would raise SOC
they would undertake the com
plotting Of the road and ferry and
will commence work at once
Cottonwood as usual is coming
to the front in the matter and
we trust her sister towns will al.
so join hands in the work. The

people Of the Plains are also
much in need Of mail facilities
and as soon as the proposed road
is completed will, beyond doubt,
receive the favorable action Of
the department in the matter.
