But the natives now refuse to grant the privilege and the company is held up until permission is secured from Washington. How far this will go toward interfering with the building of the road to this point is not known, but even the temporary stoppage is annoying.

Straw hats were riddled and the "bumps" on some of the men’s heads would have driven a phrenologist crazy, if he had not known how they were produced.
