good now for driving purposes when the
weather is dry. There yet remains a dis
lance of about 1900 linear feet to be grad
ed which will require about six months of
chaingang work.
When the grading is finally completed it
is the intention to let the road remain as
dirt road for the time being. so that eques-
TRANS may use it until especially construct
ed riding paths are opened up, when 1T Is
expected the roadway will be macadamized
and placed in condition similar to the
Beach driveway. The road work OF the
chain gang Is so excellent, however, that
the dirt surface will always be suitable for
driving when good weather prevails.
The Northern improvements.
The Ross road is part of the original
plan for driveways and is the last Of the
roads to be constructed south of Military
road for some years to come. When 1t is
completed the southern portion of the park
will be splendidly equipped with driveways.
At the present time there is no macadam
driveway north offs Military road. Beach
driveway extends beyond this intersection,
but has a rather poor surface and is only
available for pleasure driving In good
weather. The park above Military road Is
of unusual interest and the next important
steps in the development of the reservation
will be in that direction The character of
the land changes most radically. Below
the Military road the country is rocky
resembling at times d CIldS1l. ABOVE tnlS
point the valley opens out into broad mead
ow lands, the creek winds smoothly and
sinuously along, and there is a pleasant
and restful air of peace everywhere.
Along the course Of the Beach driveway,
and not far above Military road, is the Milk
House ford This takes it's name from a
rock nearby, which has shape resembling
that of the pitched roof Of an old-fashioned
milk house. The ford last summer was re-
constructed. A concrete bed was laid
across the creek. The ford now surpasses
the well-known ford within the Geological
Park.
Returning to the subject of road building
1t may be stated that the only cost attach
ed to the construction Of the Ross road Just
now is the small amount required for the
hiring of several horses and carts. This
cost Is paid from the general appropriation
for the park. The extension of the Ross
road was laid out by Mr.. w. p Richards
assistant engineer in the engineer depart
ment of the District. Mr. Richards de-
votes great deal of his time to park az
fairs. and is just now supervising the con-
struction of the dam aabove the old Pierce
mill. The dam is to be a masonry affair
and when completed will reform the lake
that was at this point up to the time the
old wooden dam was washed away during
a freshet. When the dam is finished the
plan is to rebuild the sluiceway leading to
the mill, fit into place an old water wheel
and give the historic and stalwart stone

building its old time air of activity. 1t is
due to Mr.. Richards deep interest and
capable work that so much has been ac-
complished in Rock Creek Park during the
past several years with such limited means
at hand.

tackle being used. The viaduct is just at
present a bit secluded. but when the drive
way is opened to the public within the
next six months it will undoubtedly prove
one of the most attractive points of inter-
es. within the park.
The road or driveway which is under
construction by the chain gang is an ex-
tension of Ross road, named in honor of
the late District Commissioner John w.
Ross. who was for a number of years pres
ident of the park board and who always
to ok a lively interest in the parks affairs.
The Beach driveway, which follows the
course of the creek from the park entrance
to the Military road and beyond, is now the
most travelled thoroughfare in the park.
People driving along it's smooth macadam
surface and enjoying the picturesque de-
lights of the rock-strewn course of the
creek, with it's waters pitching and tossing.
little realize that upon the crest of the
great hill on their left, after crossing Broad
branch, is a secluded driveway, which for
quite a distance is already as well paved
and in every way as delightful as the we'll
known thoroughfare below. This is Ross
road 1t leads from the mouth of Broad
branch (northern side along the crest and
sCes of the hill Immediately west of the
creek. The driveway is one of fine curves.
Soon after entering it one finds distinct
horseshoe bend. This not only adds to the
diversity of the drive, but makes the as
cent of the hill comparatively easy.

Winding Near the Hill Edge.

Once upon the crest pedestrians, or those
in carriages find a beautifully level road
way winding near the hill edge nearly all
the way. Through the trees occasional
glimpses of the creek and roadway below
may be had. 1t is the intention of the park
authorities to clear out quite good deal
more of the underbrush along the side OF
the hill in order that the view into the val
ley may be better and more frequent.
The total length of Ross road is about
two miles. The southern part, having a
length of three-quarters of a mile, is COM
pleted and covered with macadam. The
completed portion leads into what Is gen.
orally known as the Ridge road, which lat
te4 terminates at the Military road at Its
intersection with the Daniel road. The
Ross road and Ridge road become prac-
tcally for a distance, but the extern
sion of the former takes it away rather
abruptly, SO while the Ridge road leads
away to the west Ross road takes an east
erly direction in order to bring 1t again in
to close proximity with the creek.
The incompleted portion of the Ross road
(shown in dashes in the accompanying
map is a mile and a quarter long. 1t LEADS
through something of "a wilderness, and
where the grading now leaves off one looks
into a forest marked by many miniature
ravines. The road has been scientifically
staked along a course, however, that will

For two-thirds of the distance the incom-

as twenty feet. The rustic viaduct is about

Nebraska has been indicted by the

offense Of conspiracy and bribery.
The charge is that he received a
bride Of S 300 for securing the APP
pointment of Jacob Fisher as post
master at Hastings. This, it is said,
is the first Indictment ever returned
againsta United States Senator on
chargestof this, nature. Now that
the wheel of justice has been put in
motion against corrupt Legislators,
it is to be hoped that it will not be
stopped until punishment has been

be done in the matter for fear ut
