of seeing them. A three rail track is
provided In front of the warehouse,
the rails being spaced 4 feet 8.2 Inches,
It being intended to use the cente: rail
with either of the other two ra Is for
the handling of cars. This permits the
placing of cars either close to the
building or on the edge of Lho dock.
The tracks' in the rear of the ware
house consist of a series of short
spurs, and approaching the ware
house at a very flat angle, each
with a capacity of two cars. The
tracks are depressed and the platform
extends parallel to each of the tracks,
which will permit the unloading of
cars from cither side.
A coal handling device Is now being
installed on pier No. 2. Space has been
reserved on the end o? pier No. 2 for
storing "0,000 tons.
Dredging Was Enormous Task.
The dredping for the Flips and the
channel leading to the docks was an
enormous task, over 1,250,000 vards
of material being removed toy the Ta
coma Dredging company. The slips'
and space between the harbor line and
the main channel of the river have
been dredged to a depth of 30 feet at
low water.
The Port of Astoria nas given much
time and thought to the opening of
navigation and the inauguration of a
boat line on the upper Columbia and
Snake rivers. The grain, wool, pota
toes, apples, etc., tributary to' the Co
lumbia amounts to about 2.000.000 tons
per year. It can reasonably he seen
that a larga portion of this frei?hi will
find Its way to tidewater at Astoria
with cheap and adequate transporta
tion facilities.
Frank J. Walsh, who has had er.arge
of -the. construction of the docks since
the jlan to build them was inaugur
ated, has completed his work in As
toria, ajid has accepted another posi
tion in Tacoma. To Mr. Walsh and
his competent corps of assistants must
be given credit for the excellent man
ner in which the work has been done.
