Down River Boats Discontinued By Open River Co
The Open River Transportation Co. removed the Twin Cities from the route and halted Steamer Service to Celilo and Portland with no renewal promised. Freight shortages on up river runs from Celilo to the Columbia and Snake Rivers are blamed, though wheat shipments at Kennewick surpassed accepted cargo. The article notes river navigation may become regular and systematic in the future.
