Show 71 -- 68-- 1909, as shown by the sketch in Complainant's Exhibit No. 76. The next bar is the Butterfly bar and riffle, 1 to 2 miles below Green River. " My survey is shown on Plate 10. The comparison is shown on Plate 11. There has been a considerable reduction in the size of the island. The west channel has increased in width materially, and the east channel has also increased in width materially over what it was in 1909. I might say that the report shows in detail the comparison. And I am speaking from memory. The report shows the exact difference in the widths and the heights of the bar." R. 163. The next bar is the Auger, about 4 1/ 2 miles below Green River, shown on Plate 12, Complainant's Exhibit No. 76. The bar at the Auger is formed largely by debris and brought into Little Grand Wash. Apparently, the wash is able to maintain itself against the floods in the Green River, and has so maintained itself as to resemble very closely what the outline was in 1909. There was a fall of about 3 1/ 2 feet at the riffle formed by the Auger bar on the day when I was there." R. 163- 164. The next bar is known as the Farrer bar and riffle, some five miles below Greenriver, which was also surveyed by him. The Army Engineers in 1909 also surveyed the same bar. " On Plate 15. The Farrer bar is a so- called crossing bar, and has apparently maintained itself in |
