Mr. Farnsworth: Well, he has not been over the spot, of a great deal of that. Any part of that exhibit that is a true copy of a government report showing elevations I will not object to. Mr. Blackmar: Well, it is not a true copy. It is a compilation made from many reports. Mr. Farnsworth: Anything that is a computation of a matter that is pertinent here, and it is merely a matter of arithmetic by him, I will not object to. I will exclude that from my objections.

The Special Master: Well, with those admissions as to figures, that would cover practically all the figures. Here ( indicating) is one column headed " Miles Above Lees Ferry;" another column headed " Miles Above Green River;" another column head, " Length of Stretch by Miles;" another, " Fall in Feet;" another " Fall in Feet By Miles." You do not object to those columns, do you? Then there are two other columns, one headed, " Character of Flow," the other, " number of Rapids." 2200 |
