Show 4348 Loper- D 2368 beyond these curves for that condition you describe? A They are warned. Q If they knew the river, that is? A All the years I have spent on the river I never learned whereto go over the crossings; that is, there is places there, we will say there is places through that crossing that is two feet deep, but I can't find it until I run on to the bar and get out and wade around. Q Your experience would teach you that condition was going to probably occur? A Yes, we know on a crossing you are going to encounter those very things. Q In other words, you have to hunt for the channel, particularly where the river crosses? A Yes sir. Q When the water is at a lowering stage, or when there are rains in the mountains? A Yes sir. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Does every change in the river, the volume of the river, bring this re- arrangement of the channel bars and the sand bars? A Yes sir. Q Just explain that in connection with your statement that the channel changes from day to day. |
