Show 5169 F. Bennett- D 3181 we would send it out by registered mail, if we wasn't going out. Q That would be the post office at Hite? A Yes sir. Q How would you get it up to Hite? A We made regular trips up about once a month to get our mail. Q How? A Sometimes we went up in a boat, if the river conditions was favorable, such as not too high or too low water; ordinary water we tried to use the boat. If we would get a nice wind, we would start up the river, and try to sail up as far as we could, and sometimes get part way and then walk the rest of the way. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Did you make these trips frequently between these two bars? A Beg pardon? Q Did you make these trips frequently between these two bars? A No, not between the Olympia and the California, just once in a while we would go up there; sometime go up and work a few days there, then come back again. Q What other method, other than the sail and the cars, would you use to get the boats up there? |
