Show 7273 Cooley- D 5253 Q How about the fall of 1904? A 1904 I wasn't there; I went farther up the river. Q Then you worked for him during part of two seasons, that is to say, in 1902 and 1903? A Yes sir. Q Did you personally accompany any rafts down the river during those two years? A Yes sir, I went down with one in September, I think possibly about the 20th of September. Q All right. When did you go down with the other one? A I went down with the others -- I went down with three rafts. Q You went down with three rafts during those two years? A In the spring I went with two rafts, I think the court recorder will tell you, I went down with two rafts in 1897; I went down with one in 1898, and I went down with one again in 1902. Q How about 1903? A I went down with one in 1903. Q Now, during 1902 and 1903, Mr. Cooley, was there hauling of lumber away from the mill and down this road that leads to Castle creek during other periods than those when you went down and accompanied a raft? A Yes sir, I think there was two teams hauling from the mill; they loaded about every other day for the river. |
