Show in the cross section ( -next next ) 96 to ( tlie the ) inside of ( tiie Uie ) bends ( resulting esulting ) from eddies and backwater . The material ( making haaking ) up these bars is so fine that their surfaces can be seen to be in constant motion . The particles . shift and move around with the ( smallest sinallest ) ( disturb disturb- disturb ) , ances in the water . The material in these bars is so fine that the pressure of the little ( finger finigrer ) was ( fre fre- fre ) quently sufficient to sink out of sight the ( 8-foot 8foot ) sounding rod ( which -which which ) was ( one-half onehalf ) inch in diameter . It is clearly evident that these portions of the river bed are , accurately speaking , in a constant state of change caused ( by -by by ) all changes in velocity due either to change in stage or ripples and waves caused by wind . The sand bars which lie between 4 and 6 feet above the ( -water water ) are apparently formed during ordinary floods . Between such floods they are ( sub sub- sub ) ject to minor changes as a result of the gradual washing away of their edges where ( exposed exposecl ) to the current , the gradual building along their ( down down- down ) stream slopes , and surface changes resulting from wind ( movement movernent ) . It is ( Hoyt's Hoyts ) conclusion that ( ( Ex Ex- Ex ) hibit 75 , page 67 ) many of the changes occurring at the crossing bars during low and medium stages are a result of the gradual ( wearing vearing ) away of these low bars . The formation of the higher ( willow- willow ) covered bars or benches is not so easily analyzed . These bars or benches , which extend probably for ( one-half onehalf one-balf onebalf ) the distance through the canyon , form the flood channel limits for all except the most ( extraor extraor- extraor ) dinary floods . It is evident that they are composed |
