Show Record master as follows: 4854 There is a road from Greenriver town to my ranch that connects with the road from Ploy. There is no road down the bank of the river from Greenriver to my ranch. 4855 I have seen sand waves at the mouth of the San Juan River. I time I saw them particularly was when Mr. LaRue, Mr. Richardson and I went down in 1915 I believe, They were just like any ocean waves, I might say. I did not pay any attention to them. They didn't interfere with the main river there at all. They did not interfere with our boating. As to how that stretch of the Green River from the San Rafael to the junction, compares with ease or difficulty of navi-gation with that portion of the Colorado River from Halls Crossing down to Warm Creek with the boats that I have used, I would say there is practically no difference, because there is plenty of water in either case, that is, during the months I have been there. Going up stream I have found that portion of the Green River from the junction to the San Rafael easier to navigate in the boats that I have used than that portion of the Colorado from Warm Creek to Halls Crossing, because the current is a little stronger on the lower Colorado. Thomas G. Wimmer testified for defendant on re- direct examination as follows: 4857 All that would be required is some difference in power. There is more current and it is a little steeper on the Colorado and more cataracts. There is not a cataract from the San Rafael to the junction of the rivers. There is hardly such a thing as a riffle in the whole distance. In a boat like the Narguerite I don't think there would be any difference in the practicability of navi-gation up and down stream on that section of the Colorado from Warm Creek to Halls Crossing and that section of the Green River from the mouth of the Green to the mouth of the San Rafael. There is not enough difference in the two waters to make any difference 716 |
