Want New Road Across Reservation
J. W. Wood circulates a petition to county commissioners seeking a new road across the Indian reservation from Blackfoot to the government dam east of the city. The 18 mile crossing would aid settlers along the Blackfoot river near Paradise valley by improving access to Blackfoot for trading. The plan aims to boost business revenue by connecting homesteads with markets and materials, noting the lack of a public highway and the potential economic benefits to residents and merchants.
