- MARINE REVIEW. [January 11, AROUND THE GREAT LAKES. S. H. Crowl, attorney at law and proctor in admiralty, has changed his offices in Cleveland to the American Trust building. Hall & Root, vessel agents of Buffalo, are now located in new quar- ters—rooms 21 and 22 Exchange building, No. 202 Main street. The Great Lakes Towing Co. will pay its first dividend on preferred stock next month. It has been decided to pay 134 per cent. quarterly, beginning in February. : General Manager S. T. Crapo of the Flint & Pere Marquette Ry Co. announces the appointment of W. L. Mercereau of Ludington as super- intendent of steamships for that company. - - No contracts for moving coal to Lake Michigan ports next season have been closed as yet, although more than a million tons has been covered for the head of Lake Superior, as already announced, at 50 cents aton. It is understood that Lake Michigan shippers are offering 60 cents to Manitowoc and Sheboygan. A very capable officer in the light-house service, Commander Duncan Kennedy, inspector of the eleventh district with headquarters at Detroit, has been ordered to sea duty. He takes command of the cruiser De- troit, now at Key West. Commander Kennedy will be succeeded by Lieut. Commander J. C. Wilson, former executive officer of the Indiana. The new officers of the Buffalo lodge of the Shipmasters’ association are: President, Edward C. Maytham; first vice president, Jeremiah Cole- man; second vice president, Albert Robinson; secretary, John Perew; treasurer, Lyman Hunt. Capt. Edward C. Maytham was chosen as dele- gate to the grand lodge meéting, which will be held at Buffalo, Jan. 30, and Capt. Martin Niland was elected alternate. J. C. Gilchrist of Cleveland a few days ago purchased from B. L. Pennington and others, also of Cleveland, the wooden steamer C. B. Lock- wood. Mr. Pennington is no longer interested in vessel property, having sold, a short time ago, other vessels which he controlled. The Lake Erie Transportation Co. (Mack interest) of Cleveland, has purchased the wooden steamer Athens from Capt. James Davidson of West Bay City. Mr. H. W. Hart of Green Bay, Wis., (Hart’s Steamboat Line), an- nounces that the steamer C. W. Moore is for sale. The Moore is 125 by 25 by 9 feet and is in very good condition. As a steam barge she would carry 265,000 feet of lumber. Capt. D. H. Lahey a few days ago bought the Hart steamer Welcome and will make a steam barge of her. Milwaukee has in winter quarters seventy-six vessels that are adapted to carry grain. Sixty-three of them are steam vessels and thirteen sail vessels. Capacity in bushels of corn is: Steam vessels, 5,775,000; sail vessels, 1,192,000;-total 6,967,000. This information is taken from a card issued by David Vance & Co. of Milwaukee, and which gives names and “capacities of the different vessels. Numerous changes are being made in the offices of vessel men and ore shippers who occupy practically all of the Perry-Payne building, Cleveland. In the shifting around that is now going on, M. A. Hanna & Co. will be given the entire sixth floor; the Carnegie Steel Co., Ltd., (branch offices), will take up the greater part of the seventh floor, and on the fifth floor the Pittsburg Coal Co. (sixty-million-dollar consolida- tion) will have for its branch offices in Cleveland some eight or ten rooms. It is understood that the engineers having charge of the construction of vessels ‘at the different works of the American Ship Building Co. are agreed that certain changes in the rules of the steamboat inspection ser- vice regarding the construction of vessels could be made to advantage and without loss in structural qualities of the boilers. Mr. Frank E. Kirby of Detroit, and other representatives of the consolidated ship yards will visit Washington in a few days to go into this subject with officials of the inspection service. Buffalo grain shovelers have finally decided that instead of submitting only one name to the Lake Carriers for the grain shoveling contract they will submit eight names—A,. J. Elias, Charles Lamy, Reuben J. Getz, James P. Sweeney, George Phillips, Michael Davis, Thomas Cunning- ham and John Hagan. In dealing with the vessel interests at the De- troit convention next week the shovelers will be represented by P. J. McMahon, president of the Buffalo union, Daniel J. Keefe of Chicago, president of the International Longshoremen’s Association, and Rowland B. Mahany, ex-member of commerce and counsel for the scoopers. C. E. Robertson, engineer in charge of the remodeling of the Knapp roller boat at Prescott, Ont., announces that the placing of the paddles has been completed. It required the drilling of 140,000 holes and the use of 70,000 rivets to do the work. The changes and improvements of the interior of the boat are well under way. Wallace Bros. of Detroit, Mich., announce in an advertisement else- where in this issue that they have at Chicago a special bargain to offer in a steam derrick, clam, lighters and sand pumps.
