Show 317 your judgment? The Special Master: If you know. Mr. Farnsworth: I am asking for his judgment. I assume it was probably within the memory of man, but maybe not. A No. The willow there, four or five years old, would grow in a high water channel to the west of what is the main channel now. By Mr. Farnsworth. Q Is what you refer to a place where at some time of high flood, a gully has been cut around? A No, sir, what I refer so is what was apparently, in 1883, the main channel. Q The main channel. How can you tell that it was probably the main channel? A Well, having a map that is supposed to show the channel then, and knowing where the channel is now. I have drawn what I thought was the change on it. Q You have made an actual survey of that other place, have you? A No actual survey fixed with respect to any monument that you tied to? A I made no survey out there. It is simply an observation above Greenriver. Q I asked you before, when the exhibit first came up, whether this drawing that you spoke of, made in 1883, was the result of an actual survey. I will ask you that question again. 2280 |
