in the road near the Sunbeam dam,
known as the ice gorge point, will
be filled in this year and raised to a
level where the ice will not hamper
the operations of the U. S. mail route,
as has been the case in past years
The ice at that place at this writing

road and will be handicap to traf-
fic unless removed by hand which is
a difficult task
