TOO FAST FIR j
The business now offered in the
port of Cordova has far outgrown the
docking facilities, and much comment
is heard among shipping men about
the inadequate space in which to
handle the large amount of tonnage
which is moving out of Cordova.
This city already has a dock with
a 700 foot face, the largest structure
of Its kind north of Seattle, but so
fast has the business of this port In
creased that it already is too small
to aecomitiodate the shipping.
The barge Henry Vlllard, with more
than 400.000 feet of lumber for Cor
dova, was forcei to suspend work this
morning and move up the dock in
order to allow the steamship Admiral
Watson to land. The steamship Alas
ka already was at the dock, and there
was not room for the three vessels.
The barge William If. Smith, which
had 600,000 feet of lumber for this
port last week, was forced t^ move
repeatedly to make room for the
steam vessels coining and going.
More tonnage Is shipped from Cor
dova than from all other Alaska ports
combined, and according to shipping
men, If the business continues to in
crease it will be necessary to extend
the dock.
