Show At page 120 ( last line ) 86 of his report the Master quoting from Oklahoma v . Texas , supra , states as follows : ( "Thus Thus ) it is said that on the Red River ( 'boats boats ) can ascend and descend only during periods of high water . "' It will be noted that the text of the opinion reads ( p . 589 ) : Boats with a sufficient draft to be of any ( serv- serv ) ice can ascend and descend only during periods of high water . ( Italics ours . ) Undoubtedly when the italicized words are added to the ( Master's Masters ) statement , an entirely different ( con- con ) clusion must follow . This Court , by limiting its ( re- re ) marks to boats ( "with with ) a sufficient draft to be of any ( service" service ) does not state that rowboats , ferries , light motor boats can not ascend and descend at all seasons of the year . The evidence in the case indicates that light boats are always on the eastern section of the Red River . The Master assumed ( M . R . 121 ) that when this Court in Oklahoma v . Texas denied the navigability of the Red River in the sections in question in that case and said ( p . 591 ) Its characteristics are such that its use for transportation has been and must be ( excep- excep ) tional , and confined to the irregular and short periods of temporary high water that the Court meant boats irrespective of size or use . It is evident from the text of the whole ( para- para ) graph , the use meant is transportation of sufficient magnitude , so that the river could be truthfully said to be a ( highway hicrliway ) of commerce . |
