.Old settlers of Crook county, who
were here when the road was first pro
poued, 'still tell with delight the man
ner In whli'h the Toad was "constructed."
Through Crook county, It Is said, a man
drove along the basin of Crooked river
with a horse and wagon. He left a rail
of dimt and two wagon tracks behind.
If th wind had been blowing hard
five , mlnuttts afterwards, this military
wagon roRd so constructed, would have
been In oblivion. , As it waa It .passed
from observation within a few hours.
Yet for this arduous task, the govern
ment gave to the promoters every alter
nate section of land for a dlatanue of
six miles on both sides of this Imag
inary road.- If the country happened to
be poor on' one side, the poor land was
eliminated and an additional strip taken
on the opposite Ide. Generally, how-
ever, : the road ; waa '"constructed''
thrmis-ti ih rich and fertile vallev re
with the alternate sections was noccs
aary. ,'" ' -' '5
The company's actual expenditure wns
confined to the Cancudu mountains and
the eastern flope down to the lMchutes.
A road was actually built in this dis
trict and a log bridge constructed ecrons
the Deschutes. It Is estimated that this
work coat about $10,000 or $16,000, and
for this and the time spent In driving a
wagon across the stste. the government
gave land for which 17,600.000 has Just
been paid , and which la worth many
