Show 5733 183 Mr. Farnsworth. Yes, I think so. I do not remember the the term you made. And I doubted whether it had the meaning that is often given to it. The Special Master. I want to shorten this matter if possible. There is not any dispute, believe, between the parties, that there are a considerable number of rapids in this river, and the only question is how great an obstruction to practical navigation these rapids make. Is that not the only question? Mr. Farnsworth. Yes; and I would like to have this witness asked if his experience is the basis for part of this map ( indicating); asked what he refrred to as " rapids" when he used that word. The Special Master. I think that would clear it up, Mr. Blackmar. There is not any controversy that this river has a considerable number of rapids. The only question is to what extent they would make this river non- navigable. We could go on and put in every single rapid and every single mileage. But, or course, in making my report, I should not include any such matter of detail as that. |
