Roche says that he saw HOWE and Nc
Isaacs, OF this city. At Lake Linderman,
where they had a splendid boat built and
were all ready TO proceed down toward
the river. The boat was twenty-eigbt feet
long and seven and a bali feet deep. They
had refused an offer OF $40 for a. The
proposition Of ferryins across the smaller
lakes between the summit and Lake LIN
dernan has grown 10 be "a business Of
large proportions and has only incidental
iy been referred 10 ia the stories that have
been sent out about the Journey 10 the
gold fields.
The way that The business commenced
shows one OF the queer turns that the
wheel OF fortune sometimes takes. A man
named johnson, who had crossed from
pyea with his family during the early part
Of the season had IN his outfit small
knock-d0wn boat When he reached era
ter lake he determined 70 cut of part OF
the distance around by putting his boat
together and ferrying his supplies While
loading his boat man came along and
offered him SO for the lift over the lake
johnson said he Was not in the ferTyjng
business but e he had room after his own
things were loaded be would do so He
found that there was room in his boat
and ne started 70 load up the strangers
effects. Another man reached the place
for a SO IRE over Crater lake The result
~ Il all was that Johnson made $40 one
afternoon after o'clock He set up his
tent established his family and entered
The lists as the only ferryman on Crater
lake In thlrfy-one days ne had made s. jfo
Then he sold his little boat for s3na
IN the meantime Mrs Johnson had
broken into fhelr supplies and was max.
ing pics hat She sold for ST each. With
the sir of Croesus johnson ordered a
large baat built aad hired his packing done
