Show 307 Q Some of those bars and riffles do not even have willows on them? A Yes, sir. Q They are composed of sand of the character that you have described? A Yes, sir. Q Is that not, to your mind an an expert and student of rivers, very conclusive demonstrative evidence of stable channels, at least at those points? A No, sir. Q It is not? By the Special Master: Q What did you say? A No, sir. The Special Master: I did not get your answer. The Witness: No, sir; it is not. By Mr. Farnsworth: Q Why is it not? A Well, take the bar right there at Greenriver, Brown's bar, right below the railroad bridge. I dare say that there is always a bar there, on account of the fact that it is the mouth of Saleratus Wash; but the material making up that bar has probably changed hundreds of times. Q It has not been washed away, has it? A it has not been washed away. Q Take some of the others. 2270 |
