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.

posts, ties, or pulpwood, causing the jam, or the representatives in 
charge of the drive or tow, shall cause the same to be broken with the 
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.
