F. D. which would probably be a complete route from Scotts Mills, aa this would be the only way a com plete circuit could be made without passing on jiome other route. The government does not allow two car riers to pass over the same road ex cepting for very short distances. One of the roads and paths now ex isting Is said to be legal by virtue of being the old Elk Prairie trail. This old path is said to have been trodden by bands of elk In early days, which were changing from mountain pas tures to those of the valley and vlca versa. With slight changes the old path was accepted by man and In turn by the U. S. Government and in is claimed that the name of Govern ment trail has been known for forty years There rv other roads, said to he legal by virtue of being surveyed or accepted by Clackamas county or by being made and haa boon used for urn n y years When Mk Prairie was settled a year ago by homestendets taking up the last Uovernmeut land available, but it was but natural that some change should be desired, which desire the, travelers wIhIi to meet halt way, as It will require, work from both land owners and the traveling publlo to build any of the proposed roads, A number ot the homesteaders of fered "the right of way over their places, with the understanding that the road should be placed upon the grade which would accommodate the traveling publlo most.

According to present plans, num ter of private roads will be made be sides the public highway. The best asset the people of Elk Prairie can provide themselves Is many good roads. The completeness of this road sys tem affects the travelers both here and from abroad the future of the It. F, 1), the school and the "shj'P by truck" service. While these roads will cover but a small section ot country, they will, when properly mitdn benefit peo ple for many miles both toward Molal la, and toward Scotts Mill. Mr. t'hns.
