interfere as little as possible with navigation by steamboats, launches,

for purposes similar to their own, and, so far as may be possible, shall 

prevent the formation of log jams.

least practicable delay.

    (c) Steamboats, launches, or other craft desiring to pass through a 

body of floating logs, poles, or ties shall be given all reasonable and 

necessary assistance in doing so by the representatives in charge of the 

logs, poles, posts, ties, or pulpwood causing the obstruction.

    (d) Any individual, firm, or corporation banking logs, poles, posts, 

ties, or pulpwood on the shores or within the banks of any of the waters 

covered by this section, which are to be transported during the 

navigation season, shall so place them as to maintain a clear navigable 

channel width of not less than 20 feet.

    (e) Parties using the river for rafted poles, posts, ties, or 

pulpwood shall not tie rafts up to the bank two or more abreast; shall 

not tie up where there will be less than 50 feet of clear waterway 

between their raft and the other bank or between their raft and another 

tied to the opposite bank; and shall not tie more than three rafts along 

any bank without leaving an opening for a landing.
