Will Build Big Dock at Willamette River
A permit was issued Saturday for a 360 by 150 foot dock and warehouse on the Willamette river between Richmond and John streets by the Star Land area N. Three under dock roadways will allow teams to pass beneath while materials are dropped into conveyances. The plan includes ballast handling facilities and aims to bring coal from New Orleans via a vessel to load lumber for the return trip. A party from the East will study the project and coal routing via the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans. Freight comparisons show barging coal to this dock could cut costs to about $3 per ton versus $11 by land to Portland, with lumber freight from Portland to Pittsburg around $20 per thousand feet.
