Show 5248 Newby- D 3260 rocks are all gone, the riffle is way down below, probably two hundred yards below where we used to cross with teams. I don't know how deep the water is at the original old ford. There is a complete change there that I know of. Q Do you call to mind any other changes there? A Just above that the course of the river has changed recently, that is, a year ago. Q In what way? A It took out about four acres of land, and the whole river moved in that direction, westerly direction. Q Approximately how many feet? A Well, I should think the river is about -- it must be about six hundred feet wide there, and I said it moved almost the width of the river. Q Have you noticed any change in Saleratus wash which comes in to the Green river about Greenriver? A Yes sir. Q How was it in 1905 when you first went there? A 1905 it was a small wash, probably fifty or sixty feet wide. Q How wide is it now? A Well, it must be two hundred yards wide. Q During the time you have been there at Greenriver, Mr. Newby, do you know of any merchandise of any kind ever having been shipped in to Greenriver on the Green river? |
