To th a Tax I'aykk or Clackamas Coca
ty: There has been a great deal of talk
In regard to wagon roads in this county.
The citixens of Canby ami vicinity have
some remarks to make in regard to the
same.
We have a road that is already established
and being traveled that with prossr work
could be made one of the best roads In the
county with leu exiensc, and would ac
commodate more ieople than any other one
road In the county. The road is as follows:
Starting at Klyville and past the Appertain
farm; thence to the Warner place; thence
following the riiU-e to New Kra, and from
there to flood's bridge on the MoUlla;
thence to the southern part of the county by
the way of (fribble's prairie; thence to
Maritiani. This due i running through a
thickly settled part of the county, aud there
ia plenty of gravel, rock and material close
by that can lie had to make a first class mac
adamised road which ran be traveled at all
times of the year. This road can be repaired
with very little expense, and when once put
in proper condition is just what the eople
want, Is an outlet for those living in the
southern and western part of the county,
and will be road that will be a down grade
all the way to Oregon City, with the excep
tion of one hill at New Kra that could be
graded without much expense to a very easy
grade. This Mad has been need for a great
many years and bits all of He bridges and
culverts in very good repair. The stumps
have all been removed and the road tied is
in verv good condition to make it a macad
amised road. This road is the most natural
outlet lor those living along Pudding river
and at Canby aud vicinity; also as far east
as Molnlla corners. We bope the officials of
this county will give this matter their at
tention. J. C. Woluamot.
