WANT Dixie
IN THE RIVER

The demand on the part OF steam
ship agents that dixie be constructed
from Dan Baker Shoals TO Liston's
Point IN the lower Delaware river,
so as to check rapid deterioration Of
the channel, was pointed out by rep
resentatives Of the Philadelphia Board

measure which had been urged years
ago.
William r. Tucker. secretary OF the
Board of Trade and for many years
Master Warden, said that the Govern
ment alone was responsible for the
absence OF a dixie between those two
important cities.
Maritime men are expecting a report

merce and transportation OF the Mari
time Exchange embodying its views

discovered the danger while the fire was

to save the building. In an action by the
owner of the barn against the owner OF
the ranch testimony that while the barn
was burning the manager said that he
had himself set out the fire was not COM

so. The declaration of the manager was
