This condition existed in 1883 and 1917 . The stream at Goodrich , Utah , contained about as ( much inuch ) water as two good sized irrigation ditches and the river was very low but the water ran through ( in ill ) a solid stream . At that time the stream at Goodrich was not twenty feet across . ( ( £ R ) . 700-703 . ) At Goodrich in that year , those two irrigating streams were not twenty feet across them . They had a lamb there only six months old that used to ford it , ( run ruil ) across back and forth . You can guess what it was . ( ( E R ) . 703 . ) He has seen other years when the water in the river was practically as low as that mentioned . This low water occurs ( in ill ) September and October . Quicksand lends difficulty to crossing it back and forth all the way from Largo Canyon to the mouth of the ( San Sall ) ( Juan Juall ) . ( ( E R ) . 703-704 . ) He has had occasion to pull cattle out of the quicksand in the river . ( Sand Saild ) bars form in the river at different places along its course . They will form ( in ill ) one place , then wash out and form again somewhere else . He has been all the ( waj7 way ) over the San Juan ( Eiver River ) between ( Mexican -Mexican Mexican ) Hat and the junction of the ( Colo Colo- Colo ) rado afoot , crossed it . All the way down , went ( clean elean ) through the canyon to the mouth of Nokai ; ( 03.307-31-VOL 0330731VOL ) 1-13 |
