Blalock Island Could Host New Town If Railroad Switches Route
Northern Pacific officials discuss right of way with Dr. N G Blalock owner of Blalock Island as the North Bank road plans unfold. The island sits 200 feet from the Washington shore with a seven mile bluff line and curves along the water front. Engineers say bridging at ends may be cheaper than following the bluff. The Kennewick to Portland line must clear at least seven feet above the 1894 high water. Blalock argues the island offers ideal townsite potential and irrigation via Columbia water with 16,000 acres owned and 7,000 acres planned for five ten and twenty acre plots before spring.
