Owing to the fact that many of the

ON the road Not only were the loose
rocks taken down but a drainage ditch
dug along the upper side of the road
and oulverts put in TO prevent the road
from washing, as the grade on much of
the road is very steep.
When the road was first built T. seems
that such rains as have occurred here

Some Of the roads in the vicinity of camp
