roads for the move neat of troops
and provisions-—summer or winter
- when a rush occasion demands
tiie prompt arrival of troops to cjucil
a disturbance, or a famine prevails.
The road w ill also afford a means
of communication the year round
and is but a continuation of what
the government has always done on
its bonders. As soon as the report
is in and approved the construction
will begin.
Mr. Yaun art has constructed a
machine with cog wheels and things •
- that may be attached to a sled
and will tally off the miles traveled
on any kind of trail. The machine
was made at Rampart out of an old
phonograph.
