Number ":iC,"is at a point where an undrag-g-ed road intersects the draped 

 road and is perhaps 200 yards dis ant. The drag-g-ed road was in fine condition. The 

 soil, the lay of the land, and the drainage are exactly the same, yet rig'ht in front of 

 the team there was a long- dangerous rnud hole as shown in "4 C." 



The ohotograph number "4 C." shows a long: mud hole just in front of the team 

 it the "3 C." photog-raph. Jt was so bad that we were afraid to have a photog-raph of 

 the team taken in it, anticipating- that the horses would g-et mired, in the distance 

 can be seen a railroad bridg-e. The railroad and wag-on road run at rigrht angles to this 

 road. The wagon road which crosses the "4 C " road had been draggred for two years 

 and was hard, smooth, dry and even dusty at the time "4 C." was taken. The soil 

 the lay of the land and the drainag-e are exactly the same in both these roads. Ten 

 men spent a half a day in this mud hole draining: and ditching- in order that it might 

 have achanceto get into passable shape. The same amount of labor spent on a 

 quarter of a mile of this road^would have kept it in "apple pie order" for a number of 

 years.
