Show 6 testimony ' they speak of one river or a section of a river in one answer and in the next answer , or even in the same answer , refer to a different river or locality , it has seemed to us that it would confuse rather than aid the Court to attempt to segregate the different parts of the testimony of a given witness or to attempt , by employing geographical subtitles or otherwise , to separately digest his testimony as to one river or as to a particular section of one river . . Until otherwise indicated the witnesses named below were witnesses produced by and testifying on behalf of Complainant . ( Clyde Ckjde ) L . Eddy testified : With a crew of nine college men , , a camera man and one , Parley Galloway , I left Green River , Utah , on June 27 , 1927 , with two ( 22-foot 22foot ) boats ( hav- hav ) ing a ( 5-foot 5foot ) beam ; also a ( 16-foot 16foot ) boat . ( R . 39-44 , Vol . 1 . ) Galloway had formerly made a trip on the river but no other member of the party had ever before been on the river . . ( R . 76 , Vol . 1 . ) At a point five to eight miles downstream . - from the town of Green River , at a sharp bend in the river , we encountered some difficulty .

There are ( com- com ) paratively few streams that in the course of fifty miles do not have riffles and more or less rapid water , , but through that stretch the party had ( "easy easy ) ( going" going ) ( R . 77 , Vol . 1 ) ) and got through without any mishaps . . Neither I nor any man experienced in boating would have any hesitation about going over any water in that stretch . In going through Cataract Canyon we lined the boats and portaged the cargo on four occasions . On the first occasion the load was portaged for a distance of ( one-half onehalf ) to ( three-quarters threequarters ) of a mile ; ; on the second occasion , for practically a mile ; ; on the third occasion , , ( three-quarters threequarters ) of a mile ; and on the fourth occasion , , not to exceed a quarter of a mile . ( R . 78-81 , , Vol . 1 ) ) The trip was made at a high stage of water . . In my judgment , , with the water at the stage it was when I took this trip , |
