Show 4340 Loper- D 2360 A Yes sir. Q How did you get them? A By wagon, from Hanksville or Greenriver. Q To what point on the river would they come? A Hite. Q Then how would you go to Hite to get them? A Dragged my boat up the river. THE SPECIAL MASTER: I don't think you got in the record any description of this place called Hite. What was it like? was it an opening there, cleared land, or what was the place like? MR. BLACKMAR: There are several photographs there. THE SPECIAL MASTER: I think we better have it in the record. This man must be very familiar with it. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Mr. Loper, just describe Hite, Utah, as you saw it there in 1907. A Hite, the post office at Hite consisting of two log cabins is at the head of a bar approximately two miles long, not very wide; some places, maybe a quarter of a mile wide; other places, not so wide; and Trachyte creek comes down to the river in the middle of that two miles. There is where Hite and Gibbons had their little farm, but their cabin was a mile up the bar. |
