THE ssooUALMiE TOLL ROAD.
cHEHAlrs, Oct 10. 1893

CHEHALrs, Oct. 10. 1893
To THE EpIToK: | see Ia your paper 3
defense of Beard. the man who tried to
collect toll on the Snoqualmie road.
would like TO state that I for one must say
that the road connecting Western and
Eastern Washington is not as il should De.
| do not pretend to say who is 10 blame,
but would say that last June | was in q
position to know the condition of the road.
-Four Young men, OF whom | was one. ar
rived at North Bend on the 2sth of Jane
aud found severai families waiting for the
road 10 be opened. We concluded that We
would make an effort to go through. We
had been told that the greatest danger Was
in crossing the streams. We arrived at
the ffteen-miIe crossing. where Beard
owns ranch, and as two wheels of our
wagon were out of repair and the parties
coming over the mountains from the east
ern side said that the road was not open.
we left our wagon with Beard and hired
him to ferry Us over. and. packing our
horses. started for the other side. 1t 10
twenty-six miles from Boards place to the
summit and sixteen from there to Lake
kichelas, yet. owing TO the snow and trees
in the road, it took US three days hard
WIN W tIAteA the iOTty-tNC I1litS.
Beard told rs that some parties had
the year before opened the road and
collected toll. He was not making any eff
fort to have the road opened, and appeared
to know nothing about any one trying to
open il. We camped at the lake for some
time, and found that the people from the
eastern side we're shipping their wagons
from Martin and driving their stock over
to the Sound. After We had been there
about a week four wagons, containing
women and little children and seven or
eight men. came through. They started
from the ffteen-mile crossing day after
We did, and had worked all this time clear
ing the road. Several teams soon followed
and reported the roads clear Then Beard
came over and worked part of a day fix
ing bridge that crosses the stream which
is the outlet of the lake. This bridge was
good enough for all who passed that way
1t had been kept clear of snow end in re-
pair by hunter known as Red, and q
man hired by the irrigation company that
claims the low lands around the lake.
They did not claim toll, but Beard. after
other parties had opened the road, took
II upon himself TO collect toll Coming
back we paid toll. but felt that If any one
should have toll it should be the poor fell
lows who cleared the road, and not Beard.
ONE OF THE Four
