J, Snodgrass when he was in the merchandise bus iness at Oro Dell and tells how, one winter, that "Whispering Thompson," well known to the "early- freighters, scooped the others. Most of the freighters used two wagons that car ried between 700O and 10,000 pounds each, and during this soft, open win ter, were spending a good portion of their time getting their wagons out of the mud holes. Thompson secured 12 lightweight horses and, Instead of us ing two large wagons, distributed his load Into four wagons. As a result he walked right along through the moun tains to the chagrin ft his fellow freighters. Whispering Thompson was never known to speak ' to his lead guide ' horse In tones lower than a whisper, but those whispers could be heard for miles and miles. Strayed.
