Bonds. = two principal roaés leave the railway, one at Spirit River and the other at Grande Prairie, and pene — inte he major portion of the district dealt with herein. The road from Grande Prairie is the most im- portant. In sddition to serving a wide countryside, it is during the summer months the only passable overland route to Pouce Coupe. It is a very much travelled roaé and with considerable auto traffic. Hetween Grande Prairie and Pouce Coupe the read passes by the following post offices: Lake Saskatoon, Beaverlodge, Hythe, Brain- ara and Tupper Creeke Eranch reads lead te other post effices in the interior of the country. There are tyo alternate routes between Grande Prairie ané Seaverlodge, one passing by Lake Sasketoon and the other four miles south and running parallel te & point opposite Beaverlodge where it turns north and joins the trail from Lake Saskatoon. The south road is the most used, it is Level and generally in excellent condition. The north trail passes along the lower slopes of Saskatoon hill, and is fairly hilly. Both these roads between Grande Prairie and Beaverlodge follow aleng sec- tion lines. From the latter place westerly toe the Al- berte and British Columbia bounfsry only porticnsef the road follow along section lines, a large part of the re- mainder of the roac is portions of the old trail which is now a surveyed rosd. From Hythe easterly the country is principally prairie, and the road is almost invariably in most exeelient condition. Westerly from this point bush country is encountered and in wet seasons the trail gets badiy cut up. Lest summer the Alberta Govemment had gangs of men and mechinery on this part of the road ané epened out and graded consigereble portions thet were sedly in neeé of improvements. Near the Alberte and British Columbia boundary the country is partially open ang consists of a series of short steep hillss A little further north and extending to Swan lake, the trail gasses through land which up toe recently had been heavily timbered, but owing to repeated fires is now studced with old charreé stumps and with a new growth of poplar.e The country between Swan lake and Tate ereek is fairly open and is being settled rapidly.
