Harriman Plans Terminal at Clallam Bay for Ocean Route
Seattle Feb 16 Harriman agents reportedly finished surveys at Clallam Bay thirty miles west of Port Angeles to locate a major deep water terminal for the Olympic Peninsula extension of the Oregon and Washington Railroad. The plan aims to save initial terminal costs and ship cargo with shelter from a breakwater costing about 1 060 000 dollars. Milwaukee road linked to Harriman would build terminals and spur lines into timber districts including Ozette Lake, Clallam county, to foster mill and shingle production.
