Show INTERVIEW: Francisco Solaria Page 12 FS: down here because he had a good job. So when we got there, his money was pretty near out, and then when we went----came across the border, this railroad and sugar company man was trying to pick any man that he can get to take them to work in the beets and the railroad. About the time that we came in, there was only railroads. There was, three or four different Ranganchites we call, you know, that's going to pick up men that---so father decided to work a month and right close to Dallas, in a section for a month. But and then by this time he sent a telegram to G.P. Pones, and G.P. Pones send him the money---some money and some fares, the fares to Burley, Idaho. And then from Burley, then he went to, he went to work for him again. FO: Mnun-hmm. FS: Then in 19---ah----22, he declared bankruptcy---G.P. Pones, and then Father lost his job, so we just rented a farm---fifty---- fifty share with ah---I can't remember the bank. It used to be in Pocatello. So, we didn't cut the wheat down, and it had a poor crop that year, so father decide to move. From there we came to, in 1923, we came to Salt Lake City, in December because we just barely made enough for the fares from here. VM: Now, why did you come to Salt Lake? |
