Show ( -ofllarah ofllarah ) . Since thellithasnot 324 been frozen , over , ( however howe'ver however ) , there are short stretches of the river that , freeze nearly every year . In 1926 ( he lie ) went downstream with a load of ( ma- ma ) terial , came back the next day , and the ice had jammed ahead of him so he ( couldn't couldnt ) get through . , The boat taken ( on oil ) this trip had a pointed bow and it ( was -was was ) necessary to take a line in order to pull out ( of -of of ) the slush . That is the only time he has seen the ice jammed that way except ( in ill ) the winter of 1926 . The ice catches in the narrow part of the stream , piles up for a distance of possibly half a ( -Y-nile Ynile ) or ( more raore ) , and backs the water up behind it . The ice jam spoken of remained ( in ill ) the river for four or five weeks . ( R . ( 1192-1193 119.92-1193 ) . ) ( Cross-examination Crossexamination ) ( R . Vol . 6 , pp . 1194- 1211 ) : The ice condition ( in ill ) 1926 was similar to that ( re- re ) ferred to ( in ill ) 1925 except that it was a heavier flow , of ice and it was necessary to use dynamite in order ( io to ) get through . The boat was gotten out of the ice jam , the same . evening it was stuck ( , 1 ) and taken back down to the Shafter No . ( 1 I ) well , where it was left until ( powder -powder powder ) could be obtained with which to dislodge the ice . In obtaining the dynamite it was necessary to send to Grand Junction and two days were ( con- con ) sumed ( in ill ) getting the powder back to Moab from the time the truck started . The powder was then taken down the river in one of the small boats and work commenced shooting the ice . |
