Show I- 5 7412 5391 Wolverton- D when you say removal of rocks would be necessary to enable boats of larger draft to go? What portion of the river are you talking about? A Between Greenriver and the Wimmer ranch, so- called, mouth of the San Rafael. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q What other difficulties exist along that river that you have not mentioned, and that if a program of improvement were undertaken you think should be done? A By the building of wing dams the current could be directed, or the channel more confined. Q Have you seen occasions when from one of these side channels there would be a temporary stoppage of water, or practically so? A Yes. THE SPECIAL MASTER: What do you mean by that? MR. FARNSWORTH: I am just going to follow it up. I don't know what the witness will say about this. Q Just tell us of such an occurrence. A I came down the Green river once, and I didn't know Valley City reservoir had gone out, and I ran into that place; it had backed the water up; it had almost shit Green river off, and backed the water up fully twelve miles. Q How long did that condition continue? |
