Bridges on Stand
As Defense Phase
Of Trial Starts
San Francisco (U.PJ Long
snore Leader Harry Bridges was
to be his own first witness to
day when the defense phase of
his civil denaturalization suit
opens in Federal District court
Bridges' chief ' counsel, Tel
ford Taylor, said Bridges will
probably be on the stand for
two or three days. He is the first
of some 30 defense witnesses
. scheduled to testify.
Today's session ended a two
week recess ordered by Federal
Judge Louis F. Goodman after
the prosecution rested it case
on June 27.
To 'Refute Testimony
The government is seeking to
strip Bridges pf his citizenship
on grounds he was a Commun
ist when he denied party mem
bership at his naturalization pro
ceedings in 1945. If the govern
ment proves its point, it could
then deport Bridges to his native
Australia.
- Taylor said Bridges and a
number of other union leaders
will "refute" testimony by Government-witnesses
that the In
ternational Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen's union (Ind.),
ever has been "dominated or
controlled by any force other
than its union members."
Today's scheduled appearance
by Bridges was the second in
the course of the trial. Chief As
sistant U.S. Attorney Lynn J.
Gillard called him as a surprise
prosecution witness when the
trial opened. Bridges then de
nied the Government's tiiarges.

Bridge on the Columbia
A standard Columbia river
bateau of the 1830's was 30 feet
long, beam 5Vi feet, with three
tons capacity, and capable of
carrying a crew of eight and
chief. In the boat's construc
tion, bent pieces of oak were
bolted, a foot apar to a flat
keel. Later Douglas fir proved
to be better than oak.
Gunwale and planking were
western red cedar, the rowlocks
birch. , Eaqh sharp boat end
was stoutly, riveted, and for the
rest the binding agent was pitch
gum.
The boats were built for port
age as well as to float people
and cargo. They were squipped
with fir poles to work around
points,, against swift currents.
The cargo, ' whether furs, bag
gage, food or trade goods, was
baled for portage in units of
from 80 to 90 pounds. A bale
of bullets would be small, a bale
of blankets large.
Boats Away!
One of Peter Skene Ogden's
brigades, setting out from Forti
Vancouver early one summer,!
had nine boats. The rowers
numbered 60, and eight of them
had Indian wives with them.
Each boat carried 60 packages,
or bales, excepting Ogden's,
which had but 40. Several peo
ple completed the load. Each
bateau was equipped with a
square sail. The crew was Ca
nadian, with a fourth of the
men, as usual, Iroquois Indians,
who worked cheap.
The first day's voyage was for
a few miles only a shakedown,
a trial run. The night camp
was at the Fort Vancouver saw
mill landing. All was well thia
time, so the brigade was off
bright and early the next morn
ing. Night camp was made at
the company's fishery, at the
foot of the Cascades. .
The run upstream, even in
good water, called for a com
bination of smart sailing, swift
rowing in the eddies, and pow
erful poling around the bends.
To pass the Cascades, it was
necessary first to carry part of
the cargo, then to land all of it.
The Ogden brigade's boats were
tracked up the rapids. As usual,
sbme were damaged and hours
were spent gumming the leaks,
using heated sticks with the fir
pitch to "solder" the seams. The
brigade, all afloat again, toiled
on . up the. great gorge.
On to Walla Walla
The first portage at The Dalles
was more than a mile long. The
boats had to be carried past this
reach of a giant river running
riot. The parade over the rocks
of coats with bottoms up called
for 70 men. There were Indians
on hand with horses, ready to
hire out to pack the freight
Once more the boats were re-.
paired, camp ' was made, the
craft were floated in the morn
ing and the up-river pull was
resumed. ' The brigade rowed
and poled on, . in blazing
Assault Charged In -Restaurant
Argument
New York (U.R) Police held
Anthony Vitos, 51, on assault
charges today after restaurant
owner Chin Ling complained
that Vitos bounced a flower pot
off his head in an argument over
Vitos' bill.
Vitos denied the charge. He
charged that Ling threw a sugar
bowl at him when he complained
that he had not ordered what he
was served.
weather.
So the Ogden voyage went
ahead, now through fierce white
water reaches sown with rocks,
then with fair going. One day
only 16 miles were made. On
another, with a good wind for
sailing, the Ogden brigade trav
eled 57 miles up river. There
were morel portages and track
ings to make.
The brigade approached Fort
Walla Walla in mid-July. The
bateaux were seen, and the flag
of the Hudson's Bay Company
was run up in welcome. There
they landed, the French-Canadians
and the Iroquois. Peter
Skene Ogden, his chiefs, and
honored guests.
Under foot was the site of to
morrow's Wallula Landing of
Washington Territory, due to
be lost at last in the deeps of a
prodigious power dam of the
government of the United States.
But it was a glorious life
while it lasted and it lived and
moved on wood,: cedar and fir
from the -wilderness forests of
the Oregon country.
