Show 5418 Yokey- C 3429 Q You spoke of trips with brief intervals of time be-tween them, over this shallowest portion of the lower river. What was the name of that place? A One place called Two Mile, just above Barrier creek, and then Fort Bottom and Valentine. Q After a boat had been taken down over those shallow places, did you observe what if any effect that had on the ability of another boat to come down following it, or to come up? A My experience is, if you take where the most of the current is and keep running across and agitating the sand, it naturally cuts the channel out; deep water on both sides; always plenty of water on the outside; get a shallow place cutting across, that is where you get you sandbars. MR. BLACKMAR: Let him tell the effect of rising water on it. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Go ahead and explain the effect of rising water on the river. MR. BLACKMAR: Not on the river, on these cut- out places. |
