SNRS' '"
Road Supervisor Charles schrader has
the 10 10 Hot Springs road and has i'm
proved it greatly by shortening it and
taking out four fOrds, including the long
est n encountered on the trip, which
was $50 yards long. n when the water
was high, very dangerous. Mr.. Schra-
der did some grading also on this trip
and is going out again tomorrow with a
crew and will take out two more fords in
two weeks work, which will leave only
sixteen fords to make on the trip from
Missoula to 10 Lo Hot Springs. Six
years ago there were f1fty-two fords to
make on the same trip and several peO-
pie lost their lives while freighting and
fOrding the stream. In a very few years
now the trip to 10 Lo Springs will nave
lost its charms and the excitement Of
fording the swift running stream with
rough rocky bottom will be a thing Of
the past. In taking out or getting round
the fOrds. the road Is run along the foot
of the making 1t much short
err and easier to get over. 1t will always
be a very pretty drive n the change a
. wonderful improvement for stage lines
and freighting, and after building bridges
and getting around all fords, If the coun-
ty should build a fence or railing along
! the edge of the high grades, where a few
poor drivers nave driven over and rolled
down a hundred feet or more with horse.
buggy and girl, the danger and thrilling
part of the drive to Lo Lo Springs would
be entirely eliminated.
