New Yakima Outlet Aims 75 Percent Freight Savings
Paul Moher promotes the Central Navigation and Transportation Company backed by Chicago and Spokane capital. A portage railway will connect Columbus Klickitat to The Dalles with steamers on the upper Columbia to Priest Rapids and a Spokane rail link. Next year a steamship network may run upriver to the upper Columbia and Snake rivers while downstream freight serves Portland and Astoria, targeting large tonnages at far lower rates than current lines. Mr Mobr states the venture can haul freight at about one fourth the cost of the O R N and N railways given sufficient tonnage.
