March, 1916 in the associate membership division of the association. Annual dues of $10 per vessel were charged to cover their pro- portion of the cost of the expenses of the association. Copies of all circulars, printed matter and the various issues of The Bulletin were forwarded to asso- ciate: members as well as to regular members. The associate members are - subject. to the same rules and regula- tions as the regular members of the association. “The careful observance of these rules by the associate membership has, in the judgment of the advisory committee, contributed largely to the successful car- rying of their own insurance. “The Dominion Marine Association advanced the suggestion of separate courses on Lake Superior from White-. fish to Fort William and Port Arthur, and also to Jackfish, suggesting that during a fog up-bound vessels pass to the northward and down-bound vessels to the southward of Caribou Island. The principle being in conformity with the ideas of this association, we very gladly took the matter up, with the end in view of carrying out this suggestion. Upon . deliberation, however, it was thought that in case a vessel had set its course in fair weather and then en- countered a fog, it would be difficult and rather dangerous to change its course to comply with the rule, and the committee suggested to the Dominion Marine Association that the separate courses be adopted for general use in both fair and foggy weather. “The matter. was favorably referred to the Lake Carriers’ Association, which considered the subject at a special meet- ing of its board of directors. President Livingstone issued a circular, requesting masters to follow the courses during the balance of the season, when the en- tire matter would be brought to the at- tention of the committee on aids to navigation at its session during the win- ter of 1915-1916.” Membership and Tonnage During 1915 Season | “At the close of the fiscal year of 1914 there were 179 vessels in the membership of the association, with gross registered tonnage of ‘849,848 tons.

Evans Edward Evans, a Great Lakes cap- tain whose services on the lakes cov- ered 41 years, died recently in Chica- go. He was born at St. Joseph, Mich., in 1859 and became a sailor when 14 years of age. At 25 years he became a master, handling vessels for the S. K. Martin Lumber Co. until that firm discontinued business, when he became captain of ferries from South Chicago to Peshtigo, Mich. Subsequently he sailed W. P. Renp -until 1908. He was master of the steamer City oF ° Paris for five years, and in 1913, with several associates, bought the ship. Captain Evans remained in active service until his final illness.

At a recent hearing in the rooms of the board of port commis- sioners of New Orleans, representa- tives of the Southern Pacific were.told that, instead of an endorsement from local business men for the requested privileges, a delegation probably would be sent to the New York hearing to ask that, in justice to New Orleans, the Southern Pacific be divested of control over the steamship company.
