Show the same as testified 728 to by other witnesses . ( R 2817-2818 . ) He made a trip ( along alolig ) the Colorado River from Dewey to Moab Bridge by wagon and team . ( Gross-examination Grossexamination Cross-examination Crossexamination ) ( R . , ( "Vol Vol Vol ) . 15 , pp . 2819- 2822 ) : In describing the land above Greenriver , Utah , he was not referring to the ( land laild ) in the immediate vicinity of the town of Greenriver . He ( doesn't doesnt ) know where the dam is . Does not recall just how far the land is being cultivated above the town of Greenriver ; for a ( dis- dis ) tance of about eight , maybe ten , miles the country is fairly open and rolling . ( R . 2819 . ) He could not say whether the land in that particular section is susceptible to producing crops if water is put on it . His recollection of the country after you leave the cultivated portion it was ( very i7ery ) sandy soil , ( con- con ) siderable sand , but probably for some eight or ten miles on both sides of the river crops could be raised thereon if the land was irrigated . The breaks on the ( left-hand lefthand ) side of the river are a little nearer to the town of Greenriver than they are on the other side . There is a pretty large area rolling country in the vicinity of the town of ( 6reen- 6reen ) river . ( R . 2820 . ) In ( giying giving ) the estimate of from eight to ten miles above Greenriver most of the land that is susceptible to agricultural use , if irrigated lies on the west . It is not so very wide to the east ; you get into hills and ( broken brohen ) country . ( R . 2821 . ) |
