He and his brother ( had bad ) conversed some with Howland concerning the ( con- con ) ditions of the river between North ( Wash IA"asli IAasli ) and Lees Ferry prior to the trip . ( R . 1097-1101 . ) Mr . Howland abandoned the project after going through Glen Canyon . ( R . 1112-1115 . ) The last rapid in Cataract Canyon from North Wash is probably ten or twelve miles . There is more swift ( water -v7ater v7ater ) between the mouth of North Wash and Lees Ferry than there is on the ( Green G-reen Green ) above its confluence with the Colorado . There are some rapids in Glen Canyon . ( R . 1102-1103 . ) On those riffles ; there is something he has never been able to understand ; he has encountered ( diffi- diffi ) culties just the same there as he has above , where there is less water ( on oil ) shallow places . He finds in boating that river the conditions are where you find them ; that is all he can say ; you run into it where you least expect it . The ( conditions coliditions ) of the formation around the river is what gives you the width of your river . Now there are places down there where there is more water ; it is possibly quite a lot wider . Other places you will find it pretty much boxed in , ledges come im ( Whether 'Whether Whether ) it be wider there than it is above , he does not know ; he had no ( way -way way ) of measuring it . |
