It just comes up and is cracking and exploding almost ; he never saw it in that part of the canyon , only in high water , on one trip he made ( to too ) Lees Ferry . They called it sand waves , and he believes it was , because the water was so thick that you could pretty nearly step on it .

And it would start with these boils ( coining coming ) up , that have capsized boats . That is the way Mr . Frank Brown was drowned .

He commenced farming ia 1905 and stayed there until 1914 . In that time ( he be ) did not notice any ( changes clianges ) in the banks to speak of at his farm . Water for the farm was obtained by damming Trachyte Creek and conducting the water through ( ditches ditebes ) .

( R . 3628 . ) He has noticed these ice jams between Hite and North ( Wash AlVash ) , and between Tickaboo ( Rapids ) No . 2 and Good Hope . . This condition happens nearly every year .
