Show . 163 of ( that 'that that ) fine sand . A rain comes and washes that into the river , carries it right down , works the river plumb full of it . That helped to cut the bottom out more than anything ; helped to cut the big ( cotton- cotton ) wood bottoms out . ( R . 597 . ) He means the channel has a tendency to fill with this sand ; it fills the channel of the river ( bed be4 ) a foot or two ( with -with with ) this loose , soft sand . It has a ( tend tend- tend ) ency to throw the heavy body of the current of water against the banks at the sides ; it undermines them and ( caves eaves ) them in , cuts in a half circle , moon shape , until it will cut the bottom ( entirely enti-rely entirely ) in two , and ( prob prob- prob ) ¬ ably the next day will go back to its old channel again ; and after the waves worked on their south bank , it tipped their cribbing in that their ferry was anchored to , and they had no more ferryboat ; all went into the river . ( R . 598 . ) He has seen this condition of the river at various places all the way from the Colorado line to where it enters the canyon at the mouth of ( Ohinle Chinle ) Wash . There are no perennial streams that run into the San Juan River in the State of Utah . The first stream that runs into the San Juan that ( runs ruins ) the year round is the Animus River . It comes from the San Juan Mountains in Colorado . He has freighted all through that country ( and dind ) is familiar with all of the country north of the San Juan and with the country at the mouths of streams on the north side of the river .
