Show 58 to be marked Exhibit No. 31. ( handing photograph to witness). A ( Examining photograph) This is the photograph of the fifth bad rapids that we came to in Cataract Canyon. By Mr. Farnsworth: Q Is that No. 5 Rapids? A I say it is the fifth bad rapids, because I am not certain that this is what major Price called No. 5. In my opinion, it is, but it is the fifth bad rapids that we came to. Q I am wondering whether it is the same rapids shown in No. 26 and No. 9, only on a different side of the hill. A Yes, it is the same. Mr. Blackmar: This photograph is offered in evidence as Complainant's Exhibit No. 31. ( The photograph referred to was received in evidence and marked " Complainant's Exhibit No. 31.") The Witness: We were approaching Rapids No. 5, and when we came to No. 4-- I call it No. 4 now; whether actually it is the Government's No. 4 I do not know. It is the fourth bad rapids. We came to our No. 4, and decided that we could run through this fourth one, but realized that it would not be safe to run through the fifth. But we took a chance and launched our boats through No. 4. They got so filled up with water going through No. 4 that one of that boats could not get to shore between No. 4 and No. 5; at high water the rapids run together; the tail end of one almost runs into the next one.
