Delays in Steel for Wenatchee Bridge Set May Ground Date
Officials say steel for the Columbia River bridge will be on the ground by May 1, 1907, after heavy factory delays. The Wenatchee order, shipped via Great Northern, faces earlier backlogs but is expected to arrive ahead of time, enabling canal water to reach lands across the river and permit orchard planting next fall. Surveys for the pipeline and inverted siphon are complete and will operate soon after the bridge, with land sales to settlers offering small down payments and long terms to encourage orchard development.
