OUR ELK CITY LETTER.
Condition Of the Wagon Road to

Hydraulic Elevator, Etc.

In due process of time we avriv-

Ten miles to Clearwater bridge, or
rather to Goodwin's, the first af-
1ernoon, and spent the night there.
Left Mt Z next morning and reach
I'D Elk at 8 p. IN. As to the road
and present condition thereof: AS
a general proposition the section
constructed under State contract
is well located and the basis for a
first-class road. The Grangeville
division evidences slight falling
~ in location and construction,
but is fairly good. The Elk City
division is far below the mark and
goes a long way to impair the eff
cheney Of the other two divisions,
being very bad at two points; the
worst, however, is where the road
makes the final descent to Elk val
lev. The road should be passable
for teams by July l. BY reason of
neglect the water is making bad
inr0ads into the banks ON the up
per side, cutting deep channels and
doing much damage that could be
prevented if attended to at once
by opening small outlets for the
water to run off instead of running
down the track. There are also
some landslides to be removed. The
last crossing of NewsOme creek is
particularly bad. In places the
fallen timber is cut out so that it
projects over the track from two
to thnee feet. But the repairs need
cd are not of q serious nature, and
can all be made by ten men and
one team in ten days if intelligent
~ directed. This is a matter OF
great importance to the business
men of Glaageville, for 1t is of no
use to expect people to come into
the mountains unless they can
come on wheels and in fairly
comfortable manner.
