Government Would Close Lynden River to Navigation
The Lynden community was asked by the government railroad commission whether to close the Nooksack River section to navigation. With no ships calling for about twenty years since the Edith B. era, residents voiced no objection. The Great Northern maintains a costly drawbridge at Ferndale that has never opened, and the request aims to remove it. The Guide Meridian bridge is fixed, preventing large steamers from reaching Lynden regardless.
