Show * . wa Ki * wa * * 1389 ( Winimer' Winimer ) Ranch or the mouth of the San Rafael , , and if a program of improvement were undertaken , , lie believes that a wing dam should be built so the current could be directed , or the channel more ( con- con ) fined , as ( he lie ) has seen occasions when from one of the . side channels there was a temporary stoppage of water or practically so . He came down the Green River once when ( he lie ) had quite a load on the Navajo . The Little Valley reservoir had gone out and where . it came into the ( Green Greeln ) River it almost shut the river off and backed the water up for fully twelve miles . ( R . 5390-5391 . ) He ( doesn't doesnt ) know how long this lasted , as he passed through just after the flood reached the river and went down to the town site bottom and right ( back--- back ) he believes he came back about two days afterwards and there was no sign of ( ddbris d6bris ) in the river . It had all been cleaned out . He has never known an instance in time of flood or cloudburst when there would be washes down the side canyons bringing in such amounts of mud , sand , or ( debris d6bris ) as to dam the river entirely across . ( How- How ) ever , it has filled up the ( bottoms bottonis ) to such an extent that the river would back up . ( R . 5392 . ) He knew of one time when the Colorado River was backed up from a flood down ( Indian Indiffli ) Creek . He arrived there a few hours after the flood came , ( and arld ) the water was backed up five or six miles , but there was a good ( channel cl-iannel cliannel ) on the west side across ( from frorn ) the mouth of Indian Creek and he went through with no trouble .
