Show Jones- C 395 BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Calling your attention to the last answer that you gave, do you mean anything more by that than this, that there were other occasions when the river was higher? A Yes sir Q And there may have been some other occasions when the river was lower than those? A Yes sir, I mean that. Q That is all you mean by that answer? A Yes sir. Q Now, you say, Mr. Jones, that when you arrived in Bluff with this party of two hundred or more that the river was confined at that time to a good channel? A Yes sir. Q You spoke of willows and trees? A Yes sir; cane brakes. Q Those willow and trees and cane brakes had the appearance of age and stability? A Yes sir, they did. Q The banks of the stream were well- defined at that time? A Yes sir. Q Especially in view of the fact that you had just arrived there to make your home, you made it your business to become familiar with the surrounding country, didn't you? A Yes sir. Q I assume the first problem you had to solve was where you would build your town? 2362 |
