And we don't have much 00:00:11.869 --> 00:00:17.556 time to stay invested. And that's where Jill bushes. Yeah. Now what he 00:00:17.589 --> 00:00:23.587 worked for the system for a long time, joe Yeah joe works from. Well I 00:00:23.620 --> 00:00:26.686 don't when it started he's working. He's supervisor when I come here. So I 00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:31.506 don't really started. But when you mean supervisor, what do you mean? Well 00:00:31.539 --> 00:00:36.186 like an inspector mind run around watching after him and he makes out the 00:00:36.219 --> 00:00:40.707 extra list. Marks up. You like to fight extra man. He'd mark me for a 00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:44.646 certain run tomorrow. Right up for the bullet and go around and dried the 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.557 streetcar and watch the fellas. Make sure everybody's doing it right. See 00:00:48.590 --> 00:00:50.807 that everything 00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:56.487 keeping on schedule and doing everything right. And he quit in 19 ferry 00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:01.946 boat on the river there. Parker uh his hack of the quit. But he told me 00:01:01.979 --> 00:01:05.587 when I went up there that he had had a half interest in several years and 00:01:05.620 --> 00:01:09.626 that he was buying it out and he wanted me to go up there and run it for 00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:14.247 him. Well I thought I would and he come back down here. He said man you're 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.656 not going to have to run that thing. He said that guy to steal me blind. 00:01:17.689 --> 00:01:21.507 He said that that's a man up there. I'm quitting and going out there. 00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:27.096 Those old so quit. He said that other fellows had stole himself rich and 00:01:27.129 --> 00:01:32.376 sold out. And I made him too. I guess they didn't have any kind of bridge 00:01:32.409 --> 00:01:35.807 across their bridgestone. 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:40.107 They kept that a long time. I guess he made pretty good fortune of that. 00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:44.277 No. Until they built the dam up there. Is that when they put the bridge 00:01:44.310 --> 00:01:49.766 crossing? No, the bridges down by parker. The dams went bull there? Parker 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:56.397 dam, what they call the parker dam. Been up there. Yeah, I think it is. I 00:01:56.430 --> 00:01:59.977 don't think there is any road goes out from there. Your book that you can 00:02:00.010 --> 00:02:04.426 go up there and cross. But I don't think you're going or do you have uh, 00:02:04.459 --> 00:02:08.247 your income family? But where do you go? I don't think you're going to the 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.337 santa fe Railroad goes up there some where it crosses right there by the 00:02:12.370 --> 00:02:17.367 bridge because they used to run a, what we call the doodle bug out of here 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.587 and there when they were building the dam. Yeah. I guess when those gas 00:02:21.620 --> 00:02:26.136 electric, I happen to know that come back from the army at first before I 00:02:26.169 --> 00:02:30.497 done anything Cut right across the United States and went down in Santa Fe 00:02:30.530 --> 00:02:34.267 and right to Parker and I paid 15 cents for a couple of calls for the 00:02:34.300 --> 00:02:37.767 first time I ever paid that I'm alive and went from there to open in 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.587 California Richmond. My oldest sister lived there and I want to visit her 00:02:42.620 --> 00:02:47.226 visit all the rest of the family. And uh, I remember going through 00:02:47.259 --> 00:02:54.307 partners very clear that the first time I did, I'll pay 10 cents way back 00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:57.827 somewhere and then 15, there would have been not biting water, probably 00:02:57.860 --> 00:03:01.987 court parking, but anyway, I didn't care too much for you tonight. 00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:07.327 Sometimes I want to drink it kind of cool at night. I mean, do you still 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:14.606 drink it or do you know, once in a while I drink a cup not off to Yeah, it 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:21.036 isn't necessary.

Yeah there was was 00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:00.406 there a bridge? There was a bridge on the Grand canal for the for the 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:06.507 Glendale line. Oh yeah. Now did he cross any more canals 00:07:06.540 --> 00:07:11.897 while across? No. Wouldn't you cross one on seventh street in Maryland at 00:07:11.930 --> 00:07:19.496 the there's a ditch down there then a small village. Yeah. Yeah they had 00:07:19.529 --> 00:07:23.106 their bridges. 00:07:23.139 --> 00:07:26.246 Were there any out there weren't any other big canal crossings though like 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:32.217 out by Glendale or anywhere across no big deal. I don't believe the 00:07:32.250 --> 00:07:38.637 mountain which now we wound up From 10 to 1 heard landing, had a bridge 00:07:38.670 --> 00:07:44.666 over that little ditch there and where they just ties with rails high as 00:07:44.699 --> 00:07:48.937 close together in the rails. Bear on them. People ever walk over them or? 00:07:48.970 --> 00:07:51.147 Yeah 00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:54.757 one time we tried with the cars got stuck with had to go off and leave the 00:07:54.790 --> 00:08:01.337 streetcar in and knocked him off no date. Joy messed up card. Is that 00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:07.416 planning is very blinding. That was private graduate and he had no right 00:08:07.449 --> 00:08:11.176 on that bridge because he thought he could make it and you got stuff model 00:08:11.209 --> 00:08:15.306 T stones. A pretty good size canal going into the indian school with his 00:08:15.339 --> 00:08:19.517 boys at the indian school. Remember that? Yeah. Going to school but not 00:08:19.550 --> 00:08:25.707 then there then there was that was Maricopa canal. Yeah. Called it. Yeah. 00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:30.426 Yeah, we had that bridge to the school car but it's has been turned off. 00:08:30.459 --> 00:08:34.657 We've got the you know, come up here and what this way and I don't 00:08:34.690 --> 00:08:39.606 there's no canal between here and across this way between here and America. 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:46.937 Does it curve? Was it just a grand canal? Grand grand canal 00:08:46.970 --> 00:08:53.217 around Dead man's curve. Dead man's curve. Yeah. Right down here. Didn't 00:08:53.250 --> 00:08:58.547 much care. We got down there. They 00:08:58.580 --> 00:09:06.246 had a good Mhm. I went out to the Lord would many a night I've ever spent 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:11.596 the night for a long time for a year or more. 00:09:11.629 --> 00:09:16.707 I never across that old canal within yourself 00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:24.740 and I can't remember pull across. Okay. Sure. Well. Oh right. Yeah. Yeah 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:32.506 right here with this other bridges now. Yeah, we did have the present. 00:09:32.539 --> 00:09:34.707 Yeah. 00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:40.407 Did they have speed limits for you on those cars? No, but you could run a 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:46.837 long time and you can get a little faster and they didn't want to speed 00:09:46.870 --> 00:09:51.616 too much mr Evans you take run of one block the other than that would get 00:09:51.649 --> 00:09:57.876 full speed and they pick up momentum uh for several blocks, keep picking 00:09:57.909 --> 00:10:02.437 it up and sometimes a little downgrade. Well, it's possibility. Outrun the 00:10:02.470 --> 00:10:06.547 moves. If you had run their moving boy, they shoot for all over the 00:10:06.580 --> 00:10:13.606 country. I don't know what I never did do it. It's pretty bad business 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.467 Mitchell told me that. But this band around said, Outrun your motors out 00:10:18.500 --> 00:10:22.807 there and you blow yourself up. I don't think it had killed anybody. I 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:28.187 think it just scared me. But you drunk motors. I guess now it's the sam 00:10:28.220 --> 00:10:33.006 Mitchell. A manager. 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.526 What kind of a guy who told me yesterday that he was a fairly decent 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:42.697 fellow. Well, I thought is good. You know, you couldn't lie to him. No, I 00:10:42.730 --> 00:10:49.547 don't blame him and you couldn't nick make your work and I don't mind for 00:10:49.580 --> 00:10:55.846 days be hard, you work. And he was a strict, he's strictly business and 00:10:55.879 --> 00:11:00.476 you tend to your business and he left me alone. He never heard the ever 00:11:00.509 --> 00:11:05.327 said a word to me on the speech. He never did ball. Now they quizzed me 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:12.606 about that accident and he quizzed me like a lawyer. What? I didn't care 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:17.736 at the end of the facts such as the he said, I think he wanted me to lie. 00:11:17.769 --> 00:11:20.756 I didn't think about the time, but I think you want to see if I lie. And 00:11:20.789 --> 00:11:24.606 he said you didn't know it's against the rules. 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.827 Talked to a passenger when he was driving the car and I said, yes sir, he 00:11:28.860 --> 00:11:34.087 did. This is and you just live really violate the rules. He said well 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:38.106 that's what you'll have to call it together. I don't know any other words. 00:11:38.139 --> 00:11:45.246 He he looked like he wanted to grin man. Canticle. Um But my mother 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:50.077 taught me, my father died not six years old and my mother told us not to 00:11:50.110 --> 00:11:55.616 lie. She said no matter what you do don't lie. If you tell the truth and 00:11:55.649 --> 00:11:59.907 go to penitentiary everybody knows you're honest enough to tell the truth 00:11:59.940 --> 00:12:03.526 and if you try to lie I would probably go anyway and then they'll know 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:09.437 your gremlin and all our you're just mixing it up and don't do it. It 00:12:09.470 --> 00:12:14.506 always pays to tell the truth and be honest. 00:12:14.539 --> 00:12:18.797 And I found it that way now you see I was honest where I grew up I come 00:12:18.830 --> 00:12:23.167 out here I got good recommendations from two banks 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:27.077 and I've never done any wrong as any place. I could always send word back 00:12:27.110 --> 00:12:32.506 to him questioning and get recommendations. 00:12:32.539 --> 00:12:39.207 Mhm. 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.136 Well like this you must have you drove all the kinds of cars that they 00:12:42.169 --> 00:12:48.927 were here I guess. Yeah most all types car trailers did they ran even 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.217 after they got the new streetcars? They still ran the old forties didn't 00:12:52.250 --> 00:12:56.846 they? Yeah they ran. No they run one more Grand Avenue thanks on the place 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:00.366 when Grand Avenue is the only place to use the forties you wouldn't hear 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:05.366 the way when I got the new it was. Yeah the only place I might have used 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.886 one for extra. I couldn't hardly do it because there's one man cars then 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.606 there's one man in the car, but they run them on Grand Avenue and you just 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:20.787 uh stop, clicked up to switch over there, It was coming in if they got off 00:13:20.820 --> 00:13:26.447 , he'd get there before they got off and stopping to play somebody the 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.317 orangewood after they quit running to Glendale, you put one man on there, 00:13:30.350 --> 00:13:34.376 you load up in town and drive out here somewhere off the switch and stop 00:13:34.409 --> 00:13:39.687 and collect your fares. What kind of cars were they using them out here 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:47.720 then? Cool, cool bags. The ones from san Diego. 00:13:48.940 --> 00:13:55.087 Did they have the new cars yet? Or were they? Uh huh. No, they didn't have 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:59.907 them. They've done away with more lever cars when they got the new ones 00:13:59.940 --> 00:14:06.026 and they started to need guns and I think it's in March, February, March, 00:14:06.059 --> 00:14:09.006 1929. 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:12.307 Did the 00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:16.246 So you say after they cut back the Glendale line while they still ran that 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:19.366 only they didn't use the big cars. I didn't use a big card and they didn't 00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:25.636 go to Glendale, just went to call that place that hardwood. Yeah, just to 00:14:25.669 --> 00:14:33.669 Central Avenue to go across and across that. How far? About a mile? I 00:14:33.740 --> 00:14:38.307 didn't work at nuts after the quick, during the trial in and come back 00:14:38.340 --> 00:14:43.057 myself to never worked it after they stopped running to glen day. We could 00:14:43.090 --> 00:14:46.376 have had a good run in town. I didn't know what to work. It's just kind of 00:14:46.409 --> 00:14:54.409 a left over for the extra board and there's lower seniority is mm and they 00:14:55.350 --> 00:15:00.537 probably just ran it with one car then one card. All they operated. Did 00:15:00.570 --> 00:15:06.807 they run it that way? Very long or well, I guess they run it that way from 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:09.006 here. 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.207 Now they took it out on the win because they took that car off our last 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:21.240 night. That blunder when I come back they want to run into Glendale. 00:15:22.539 --> 00:15:30.307 So I don't know what just what they did. 00:15:30.340 --> 00:15:34.356 I don't know what they did then big cards either to run over there. Those 00:15:34.389 --> 00:15:38.657 blood things happened while I was gone. I was gone 2.5 years on those when 00:15:38.690 --> 00:15:43.577 they ran the 40 cars after they had the new car on Grand Avenue. You say 00:15:43.610 --> 00:15:47.947 there was still one man knowing they would just go up to the switch and 00:15:47.980 --> 00:15:51.927 take the bears. Huh? Yeah, 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:57.626 yeah. Yeah. You, you collected your own fire didn't you? Part of the time 00:15:57.659 --> 00:16:01.657 they had a conductor but they quit that. Finally I run that for nine 00:16:01.690 --> 00:16:09.690 months. One times guy running 15 It took to sign up for over three times 00:16:10.049 --> 00:16:16.657 nine months in, I saw that 15 can still connect to care for the Children. 00:16:16.690 --> 00:16:20.026 School killed in there and then he would get up to five boys. If you 00:16:20.059 --> 00:16:26.626 don't think that school was there. You called it Adam's school. Just some 00:16:26.659 --> 00:16:33.376 trophy. five boys. Yeah. Adams. Adams School they call it. It was called 00:16:33.409 --> 00:16:39.307 something else. Yeah. It's named after a teacher that Grace Court school. 00:16:39.340 --> 00:16:42.366 It was named after a teacher. The reason I know that as I went to school 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:47.506 there, well I passed that many times. 00:16:47.539 --> 00:16:53.596 Needs to move. Had a girlfriend live at the 26 points and I lived towards 00:16:53.629 --> 00:16:58.307 your car barns. We go to show overnight and we'll take off across the 00:16:58.340 --> 00:17:02.096 country. Wasn't much buildings have been done. We passed right by this 00:17:02.129 --> 00:17:07.187 quarter of the school trail went right across cutting the caution of one 00:17:07.220 --> 00:17:13.957 out ground out and we stem show too late at the walk or ST last streetcar 00:17:13.990 --> 00:17:20.836 nine at 10 o'clock but didn't get it and walk back. Mhm. I don't care them 00:17:20.869 --> 00:17:27.506 days. I could walk To go out at 4:00 AM. Table 4:00 morning, good work, 00:17:27.539 --> 00:17:33.236 Work all day to go back there tonight. Table 4:00. All right, pretty 00:17:33.269 --> 00:17:37.427 strong. But I guess I used it up. I don't know. I'd say you're still doing 00:17:37.460 --> 00:17:40.306 pretty good. Well, 00:17:40.339 --> 00:17:45.947 fairly well. I could do better. Consider would have to change a flat tower 00:17:45.980 --> 00:17:51.006 building. Considering considering all things. Yeah. 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.336 Well, I do think the things I've been through in my life. I'm pretty lucky 00:17:55.369 --> 00:18:01.226 to be here. I worked in the coal mine one time down to Albert texas. Dead 00:18:01.259 --> 00:18:05.736 cold and man of federal in the mess back with that. It's the only stayed 00:18:05.769 --> 00:18:10.806 there a short time. We're going to ask you drench a while, 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:15.127 Where was the Austrian train down South Phoenix? one of the ones here? 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:22.476 Yeah, I just worked on that out of curiosity. Worked about a year. I quit 00:18:22.509 --> 00:18:26.637 that before I quit the railway. Just in time too. I want to put down there 00:18:26.670 --> 00:18:30.996 and work rather than to work here among the ostrich and I worked there 00:18:31.029 --> 00:18:35.076 about a year over year and then I went home back home to my mother. What 00:18:35.109 --> 00:18:39.986 did they do with the ostriches? They, they sold, sold the feathers and the 00:18:40.019 --> 00:18:45.826 eggs, uh, they sent the eggs, but they didn't hatch. They punch a hole in 00:18:45.859 --> 00:18:51.927 the end of them shells as thick, heavy, punch a hole in and out and drain 00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:56.117 it. I think the war and all that lining and everything out and clean it 00:18:56.150 --> 00:19:01.097 out and hang it out a while and sell them shells to visitors for dollars 00:19:01.130 --> 00:19:05.657 piece. I take one home back to four Cubs, you know, whatever happened to 00:19:05.690 --> 00:19:12.536 that disappeared. I don't know I had one, I picked up booms, they pulled 00:19:12.569 --> 00:19:17.076 off, they wouldn't pick them up and I'd pick him up and I have two sisters 00:19:17.109 --> 00:19:22.016 here in phoenix and given to them and they put fixed plumes on their head. 00:19:22.049 --> 00:19:25.657 They had some of the beautiful hat you've ever seen. But if they fell off 00:19:25.690 --> 00:19:31.486 , they wouldn't pick him up, how did they do? They clip them off? They 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:34.806 clipped and then that 00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:39.907 stem. But the clips are out of clothes and that's them come out. She had 00:19:39.940 --> 00:19:42.996 when it flipped it. The thing they were interested in was the ostrich 00:19:43.029 --> 00:19:46.476 feathers. Mostly women. Yeah. Well that's about all it's worth feathers, 00:19:46.509 --> 00:19:51.207 feathers and eggs. All the women wanted them in their hats. Yeah. These 00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:55.177 plumes are very popular them days in the world. War one broke out where 00:19:55.210 --> 00:20:02.157 they just went to the water. They quit using mm We'll go in. There was the 00:20:02.190 --> 00:20:09.407 boss down the foreman there. Remember him? He was a Sheriff here one time. 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:14.976 Remember the name?
