I have trapped enough beaver to know wherever you find the home and cache of beaver you find it in deep water. " Q. That deep water where you have found that cache has been away from the channel of the stream, hasn't it? " A. I naturally assume the deep water is where the main channel of the stream is, any place on that river. " Q. Then your observation has been that beaver make their cache in the channel of a stream; is that correct? " A. You may put it that way. " Q. I don't put it any way; I am asking you the fact. Is that the fact? " A. In the deep water, yes."
