The large ferry boat will be used exclusively for tho cattle trads which has rapidly lnoreased this season at this point of Flowers The Pacific Coast Steamship Company's Popular Excursion Steamer "QUEEN" Chartered for the Occasion ? - Portland's first modern concrete dock and warehouse is to be erected on that part of the waterfront extending from Stark to Oak streets, the owners of th property; the Falling sisters and the Reed Institute, having announced last week that plans had been completed for this improvement and the construction work would begin not later than January.-1. For some time the owners oi this property have been making sound-r lngs to ascertain the depth to which the foundations would have to go, so , that soma estimate of the cost might be arrived at , After a careful survey of . ;' tho river bed' the engineers determined that a cement and gravel foundation from the concrete wall could be laid at a. depth of 18 feet below low water at this point Whether the foundation lor tho on- crete piers will take tho form of piling' or whether the entire site- will have to be enclosed in a coffer-dam and the water pumped out and the foundation work carried on practically dry ground has not been determined by the engi neers. The latter system, however, may be resorted to in spits of Us expense, fot tho reason that piling as a foundation for cement piers Is a success only vn der the most favorable circumstances. The Portland waterfront is said to be ot such a naturs as to make it doubtful it piling could be successfully used ai this purpose. :-' Architects Doyle and Patterson a,v prepared a set of plans for the dock,'' which Includes a superstructure of twe . stories to be built on tho two story dock, the upper story to be used strictly fot. . warehouse purposes. , No estimate of the cost of th!s im provement has so far been made, but 11 is known that it will amount well up . toward $250,000. . ..
