NEW KLICKITAT TOWN

     Fallbridge is the latest arrival in the way of new towns in Klickitat county. It was located, named, and constructed according to plans and specifications laid down by John F. Stevens at the Washington end of the new Oregon Trunk railroad bridge across the Columbia river, now building. It is nearly opposite Celilo Falls, on the Oregon side, where Uncle Sam is digging a canal which will presently open up an immense territory to cheap water transportation, and is the junction point with the Oregon Trunk road, now under active construction to Bend, Ore., which will without doubt be extended to California later, and is already developing a lively traffic with central Oregon. Fallbridge has a new, first-class hotel, a railroad, Y.M.C.A. building, and a new depot. A roundhouse and yards for a sub-terminal of the North Bank and Oregon Trunk will be provided as soon as the bridge is completed, or about September. - Goldendale Sentinel.
