Show the denew view no road d from ft bridger 1 to camp floyd in your last number we paid a just tribute of praise to gen johnston for or his enterprise in causing this new route to be explored and opened we should have stated in in that article that a prime difficulty in the opening of thia ibis route had bad been the goa gos river kanyon which up to the end of last winter was utterly impassible on account of ra narrow r defiles and projecting rocks the ile citizens citizen of the territory ho however went t ti spring an and dfora fora distance distanced xa t twelve W elve miles up the kanyon made deep excavations c cavat ava tiona ions through solid rock and built up embankments without which the route defered top to could hardly have been made ex capt with the greatest difficulty it is true that their wort work extended no further than twelve miles up the goa and therefore the country had to be explored and opened for the ballance of the way to fort bridger tr but still as stated without the prime difficulty having been rc removed moved the work of opening the road wo would uld have been much more serious than tt it was while on this subject we would suggest that the width of the road through gos kanyon is entirely to narrow so narrow that teams cannot pass each other at a number of points and for I 1 i long distan distances and the he turns are so BO short that it is only with the greatest care the trains cn can get alo along rigo a without cap capsizing over into the stream we would id submit that as this is a very very serious drawback to the road causing great delay to the trains and the provo wood wagons and the road is a turnpike gnep one upon which very heavy tolls are levied whether the company ought not to rectify the evils refer ed to at as early a day as practicable |
