WANGANUI'S HARBOR.
By Telegraph—Press Association. Wanganui, Last Night. An event of some importance in the history of Wanganui was the arrival today of the Union Steam Ship Company's Kittawa. of 1240 tons, the largest steamer which has yet entered the port. The steamer arrived here with half her cargo of coal from New Plymouth, and drew about eleven feet. At spring tide the steamer could have negotiated the river channel drawing a couple of feet more. The excellent condition of the river is due to the work being carried out by the Harbor Board. There is now a depth of 25 feet at the place where a bar with a depth of eleven feet was a few years ago. The Government steamer Tutanekai is also a visitor to the port.
