EXTENSION OF REVETMENT
BEGUN BY ENGINEERS
The big steam pile driver used in
the construction of the Snake River
Harbor has been removed from the
left to the right side of Snake river
by the engineers In charge, and will
immediately begin the extension of
the revetment on the right limit,
better .known as the West >jetty.
The driver was transferred across
the river on badges, instead of driv
ing a series of piles as was done xat
the time of the original revetment
work. The heavy storms each year
wash across the end of the revet
ment and tend to destroy the sea
wall. The government engineers
have realized the importance of an
extension and the present work is
the result of their activity in pro
moting the best interests of the Har
bor project.
