Show they brought furs into ( Moab 'Moab Moab ) 162 . ( R . 5094-5 , Vol 29 . ) During 1927 and 1928 ( I 1 ) worked on the barge of Moab Garage Company with Virgil Baldwin . At certain times and ( cer- cer ) tain places we had trouble with sand bars occasioned by floods ( coming cominr ) down a side canyon . It would take three or four days for the river to wash away the material and get back to its original channel at that point . After the first trip through there we could get up and down without any trouble and we did not have trouble with sand bars at other points . There were two places where we had trouble with sand bars on two occasions when we had floods during the time I worked on the bars ; one place was at Kane Wash and the other at a place lower down . I made thirty or ( thirty-five thirtyfive ) round trips on the barge and I should judge that we got on a sand bar four or five times during that period , the longest delay being for two hours at Kane Wash . The next longest delay was for about an hour at the wash below , and on the other occasions that we got on a bar we were only delayed a minute or two . ( R . 5096- 5101 , Vol . 29 . ) ( I 1 ) worked on the barge for about a month along in July or August , 1927 , when the ( water ivater ) was at low stage . The rest of my trips on the barge were in September or October , 1928 . ( R . 5102 , Vol . 29 . ) On the occasion of the two longest delays which I have mentioned we took a line ashore to get the boat off the bar .

Wetzell , then Supervisor of Music in the Salt Lake public schools , on a trip from Green River , Utah , to the Wolverton ranch in Mr . ( Wetzell's Wetzells ) motor boat . NVe encountered no ( diffi- diffi ) culties or troubles of any characted on , either the , down or ( up- up ) stream trip , neither of us , got out of the boat at any time , and we were not stuck on any sand bars . There was one place where the water was a little swift . I ( was -was was ) raised in Ontario , Canada , and have operated boats on ( many rnany ) of the rivers there . ( R . 5109-11 , Vol . 29 . ) In October , 1907 , 1 went to Moab and had two boats built . I made a trip with Mr . and Mrs . Wilson from Moab upstream to a point a little above Jenson on the Colorado River . Mr . and Mrs . Wilson used a pair of oars and I sculled with a single oar . In going up or downstream over that stretch of the Colorado the only difficulty ( en- en ) countered was at the mouth of a ( stream -stream stream ) that comes in where there was a swift current ; at that point I just made a long ' |
