Show ( Ho He ) attended court 1230 ( regularly retriflarly ) at Los Angeles under government ( subpoena subpoelia ) . In this statement on top of page five where it says , ( "I I ) think the ( chan clian- clian ) nel is more discernible in ( medium iiieffluin ) low water than it is in right high water , " and ( farther fartlier ) down he said , ( "We We ) ( arc are ) more liable in exceedingly high water to ( run Tun ) across a bar in the ( center enter ) of the stream , ( be- be ) cause of the channel going to one side or the other , " the word channel should be current and what he ( meant matint ) by the statement is that what ( he lie ) calls a permanent island would get submerged in real high water and ( he lie ) might hit one of those submerged bars as he was liable to get careless and not follow what he calls the channel . ( R . 4850-4851 . ) He is now talking about the Green River , but they have permanent islands in the Colorado River in high water . He has not been down the Colorado in high water . ( R . 4851 . ) The reason that he would judge the islands are permanent was because there was brush and trees growing on them . On page five of ( Complainant's Complainants ) Exhibit No . 631 ( where wliere ) it says , ( "You You ) can not depend upon boating in the winter , because the ice will form , " he means that it freezes over some winters and is pretty ( hard bard ) boating there . ( R . 4851 . ) He has seen some ( win win- win ) ¬ ters when it did not freeze at all ; others when it froze very little and he has crossed the ice in the morning with a horse and by noon there ( wouldn't wouldnt ) be any ice in the river . It is so irregular you ( can't cant ) |
