If successful, to remedy the defect in the grades. It Is also a fact that the downtown streets are too narrow, and property owners express the belief that the present time is the best to widen them.

Yeater dey the Portland chamber got quite busy and sent the following telegram to the local pilots' office: "Seeing bar reported smooth, can not you make special efforts to get Dix out. In view of general shipping interest?" " The an swer to this remarkable message whs not given out. and it is "probable the Portland chamber will keen It to It self. The" Dix, it will be recalled. Is bar bound because of her long trip down the river from Portland. The trip required SO hours, and the delay was suflioient to have caused the transport to miss n fine bar. The Portland chani ber was correct in noting that the bar was smooth yesterday, but it neglected to consult a tide table, which would have shown that the tide was not fav orable for the departure of the vessel. The pilots can be depended to get the Dix to sea Just as soon as weather con ditions will permit, and they are fully alive to the injury which her detention will entail; but they do not purpose to pile the vessel up on the sands at the mouth of the river, and she will not, therefore, get to sea for some days to come. It was pertinently suggested yesterday that the Portland chamber hereafter devote Its attention to urging its star riyer pilot to hasten the river trip of vessels the size of the D'x.
