Kennewick Improves Dock With Inland Empire Arrival
The Kennewick Improvement Co completed the new dock at the landing last Friday and the Inland Empire became the first vessel to tie up at the wharf. About twenty to thirty tons of cargo were unloaded in half an hour, signaling faster river freight handling. A floating warehouse will later be erected, and the dock was widened by 16 boats to allow team unloading, with added stringers and a sheer boom to protect against driftwood. Piles were driven for mooring, and the revised cost rose to about 6500 dollars. Rivermen call it the best and most convenient dock on the river, confident it will attract maximum tonnage.
