Show 167 at a point 108 1/ 2 miles above the mouth of the Green River. At that point there was verylittle change between conditions now and conditions in 1909, the condition of rocks as shown then being the approximate location where rocks were observed in 1928. Q All right; take the next one. A The next one is a bar at Mile 106.7 miles above the mouth. That apparently is a bar which was found since 1909, when the army engineers' survey was made, as no reference was made to it. The drop at this bar was about 2 1/ 2 feet. Q what is the next one? A Mile 106 is the Gimlet bar and riffle, which probably is the riffle and bar to which Mr. Eddy testified this morning, as being a point where there was a rightangle turn in the current and waves; 75 per cent of the flow comes between two islands and goes directly into the bank, a rock tall us bank on the west, and is turned and comes down into the channel. Its character is indicated by its name, it having been known as the Gimlet, and from his testimony I assume that that is it. Conditions were the same in 1909 as they were in 1928, as shown by Plate 22, the statement being made that nearly all the flow came between the two islands, and toward the right bank.
