Show Record objections, attention was directed to the fact that defendant's counsel could not be familiar with the contents of books or other lengthy documents so as to make appropriate objection to certain portions that might be irrelevant or incompetent without interrupt-ting the hearing in order to become familiar with the contents of such exhibits and it was ordered that such exhibits might go in without any loss of the right by defendant to object later. Complainant's Exhibit No. 15, entitled " Through the Grand Canyon from Wyoming to Mexico", by E. E. Kolb, was received with the right in defendant to later urge objections thereto. 39 - 44 With a crew of mine selected college men, one parley Galloway, who had formerly made a trip through the canyon, and a camera man ( thirteen in all) and two 22 foot boats, having a 5 foot beam, and a smaller boat 16 feet long, we left Green River, 42 Utah on June 27, 1927. Exhibit No. 16 was taken from the point at 43 which the boats were launched. Exhibit_ No. 17 is a photograph of the boats and certain members of the crew. Exhibit No. 18 is a photograph of Dellenbaugh's Butte, located between the town of Green River, Utah, and the mouth of the San Rafael. I had selected a higher stage of water in which to make the trip, and, after launching the boats, the river swept us down below the bridge and threatened for a few minutes to pile us on to a willow fringed 44 sand bar in the middle of the river. We encountered some difficulty at a point 5 to 8 miles down stream where there was a sharp bend in the river and the water piled up against the bank, where it was deflected and then swept almost directly across the channel. Aside from those difficulties just mentioned " there was very little difficulty in going down the river, except for the fact that the water in the river is excessively muddy." In going down where the water flows fairly smoothly you bump into submerged rocks, which on one occasion caused a man to be thrown into the water. However, 45 no damage was done. We ran into sand bars at a number of places - 6 - |
