Show the current is apparently 95 sufficient to cause a ( com com- com ) plete or partial deposition of load resulting in the building up of long diagonal bars ( Photo No . 16 , Exhibit 145 ) , paralleling approximately the thread of the velocity ( Dent , Vol , VII , p . 1219 ) . The assumption that these crossing bars , more especially those composed of the finer materials , are ( con- con ) tinually changing their size , shape , and location is logical when it is considered that not only does the position of the thread of the current change ( ap- ap ) preciably with each change in flow , but also during low stages when changes in flow are minor , the material cut from the lower side bars drifts along to be deposited in the wider cross sections at the crossing bars . ( Dent Deiit ) ( Vol . 7 , p . 1222 ) says : This bar ( crossing ) ( would -would would ) ordinarily be built up during any freshet . It will occupy the same general position each year , but its form may be entirely different from year to year . The bars ( which -which which ) form along the inside of the bends , the general character of vhich has been shown by ( large-scale largescale ) surveys ( Exhibit 76 ) , fall in three general types . First , the bars that are ( par- par ) tially awash during ( low-water lowwater ) periods ; second ( ex- ex ) tensive sand bars having an average height of 4 to 6 feet above the water ; and ( tliiriL thirdl ) , the ( willow- willow ) covered bars and benches ranging 12 to 15 feet in height . The bars that are practically awash at the lower stages are the result of the lowering of the velocity |
