LOOKIXG SOl'TH FRO BIR.VSIDE BRIDGE. . - ' i
t. ......i
fjARBORS have a fascination for
most of us. One of the events
of nearly every eastsider'S day
Is tl trip over the bridge in the
mornyig to -work. The ever busy
traffic the shipping-, the deep-sea
vesselflylngr their many flags, the
river ts and passenger craft, the
barges a,d the life along shore! Why
don't mole residents of the city spend
a, day or y along the waterfront just
retting auainted?
The ch-acter of the harbor Is
changing. IThe decrepit old wooden
docks are iimbllng or being tumbled
Into the rir to make way for more
pretentiousJsafer and more modern
structures. Every form of labor-saving
device k being employed to im
prove the efjlciencv of the port.
1 . .
In makl his regular weekly
TS
sketch for The Oregonlan Herbert
Heywood stood on Burnside bridge
and looked up the river, or south. It
gives an Idea of the domestic traffic
in the harbor. In their work'of deep
ening and improving the channel,
dredges have to move immense quan
tities of material. Much of this stuff
is merchantable sand or gravel and
the dealers in the trade take advant
age of conditions and use this supply
in city contract work. The building
material of this character, supplied to
contractors' In Portland, thanks to the
untiring work and scouring and
cleansing of the great rivers. Is of the
best. . , . . .:V
The barges are .towed into Hheir
docks by busy, little tugs and -the
gravel unloaded by great cranes, and
conveyors, saving the utmost in time.
The shore of the upper harbor is
lined with these great machines on
both sides and jjj-esents a busy scene,
especially when building and con
tracting lines are at their height. The
five great bridges that span the river
give the harbor a setting all its own,
an individuality, as it were. . i
' t
Tn"e increase in -local traffic above
the bridges is no more notable than
the Increase , in foreign Strade. Di
rectly across from the dock pictured
herewith are others at which ships
from many lands load cargo. This
m'ngling of the marine efforts of the
globe, the intermixing of nationali
ties, when often as many as 10 or a
dozen foreign nations are represented,
is a fact often overlooked-by resi
dents of Portland "in search of the
different." It cannot be said that
Portland lacks "color," especially In
its harbor.
