A very en joyable time is reported, in fact it was only with difficulty that one or two o( tho Neighbors were kept in the vehicle on the return trip. Siletz Bay Wagon Road. County Surveyor Wygant returned this week from surveying tho proposed wngon road on Siletz bay and reports as follows : After completion of survey I would, say that I view said road as an entirely feasible nnd easily constructed rend.- As shown by field notes and plat, the grades as finally laid out and eetab lished ore moderate and on the entire route are in no caso as groat as on the present Toledo Newport road, and in fact the alignment is much better und this road will be much more easily ami cheaply built. Only two bridges will be necessary for the county to build, one across Tide slough near Walter Bones' of a length of 114 foet and a span of 50 feot, anil one ucross Drift creek between W. E. Ball's ind George Parmele's of a length of 90 feet and a span of 80 foet. In each case timber Is near so lhat .said bridges may bo cheaply built. The crossing of Silelz buy or river is attnincd at a point where same is ouly 433 feet wide and where a high bank on the north side of the river and heavy timber makes a crossing by scow safe and unaffected by storm or the waves. The crossing pf Schooner creek is made just above L. Tarmele's at a good ford with sandy bottom and may be crossed at all times except during the heavy winter tides when it will be nec essary to wait about two hours at high tide. By the new survey over tho hill bo tweon Jakey Johnson's and the ocean boaoh, a much better route has been chosen and on which no trades greater than 8 feet to the 100 feet haye been al lowed. By making tho change in route from nitial point of survey, tho original sur vey of which necessitated the construe tion of 44 rods of embankment and a bridge of 40 foot spun, the change pro posed will neod only 23 rods of em bnukmeut five feet high nnd no bridge by the county, Joseph Sijota having bound himsolf legally to construct tint remaining 1(1 rods of embankment aud the 40-foot bridgo at his own expeuse and to keep same in repair. Tikis chunge removes all local objection to the road at this point. I would say farther in this connection that by mut ual concessions, which in no case have affected the excellence of tho road, all remonstrances und questions of dain Hgus huvo been eliminated. In point of fact the need for this road has been so greatly felt that every person affected has acted iu tho greatest spirit of fair ness and good-will towards the survey aud location of same, In conclusion I would strongly rec ommend tho adoption and construction of this road as now surveyed. There in no question, but that considering the number of people benefitted and who now have no legal outlet anywhere and also tho fact that this road will muke aud complete a continuous, easily und quickly traveled route from Tillamook and Salmon river points to Newport, Tuledo and all southern and eastern points in Lincoln county. The same to be adopted at once and constructed us a whole us soon as the county finances und iu the judgment of the Ilonorablo County Court, circum stances will permit. M. Wygant. .
