How immeasurably the circumstances and comforts of the community have improved since the days when this road was constructed, may be known from the fact that Mr. M. and other workmen employed upon it, sometimes had to eat the fattest o! pork, raw ; their bread was baked in the hot ashes of their campfires - the quality of which, therefore, needs no remark and they drank, at their meals, hemlock tea ! To make up for such fare — we suppose — a barrel of whiskey, with a tin cup attached, always stood at the roadside, and each workman or passerby was allowed to partake ad libitum.
