From anything you have observed in the condition of the river between the mouth of the Dirty Devil and Lees Ferry, you wouldn't say that there are any more difficulties or obstructions to navigation than there were between Moab and the mouth of the Green River?" R. 1104- 1105. " A. Well, there is more twisting water down there. " BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: " Q More twisting water where? " A. down in Glen Canyon; there is a larger volume of water, of course, and there is places where it has whirls, undercurrents and that, more so than there is on the Grand River." R. 1105. " THE SPECIAL MASTER: We don't want the reason. Mr. Farnsworth asked whether you found it any more difficult, substantially more difficult to go from the Dirty Devil to Lees Ferry than you found it going from Moab down to the junction f the Green River and the Grand. R. 1106. " A. I have never been from Moab down to the junction of the river, of the Grand River; for that reason I would say I had more difficulty going up the Grand River to Moab than I did going down through Glen Canyon.
