( Ves Ves- Ves ) ¬ ( sel s6l ) transportation is very expensive per trip , and ? , unless a considerable volume of freight is available ( ior -for for ) each trip , the operation of the vessel makes the cost of transportation extremely high . ( R . 1225- . ) question of volume of transportation ( ordi ordi- ordi ) ¬ ( narily uarily ) resolves itself into how much ( transporta transporta- transporta ) ¬ tion charge the traffic will bear . In some instances , f expensive transportation is justified ; in other f the competition of highways or railroads ( makes -makes makes ) it impossible to develop water ( transporta- transporta ) unless the ( water wntter ) transportation is cheap per unit of volume moved . ( R . 1226 . ) The Colorado River is quite permanently located , rock banks . It has very small ( opportu opportu- opportu ) nity to move sideways more than a few hundred . feet . There were very few sections of the country ' where the river could have moved its full width ( without -without without ) encountering the rock on the other side . For example , if the normal width from rock to rock is eight hundred feet , the river would normally occupy , say six hundred . There are places where the rock widens out so that the distance from rock |
