Commercial Club.
Edited by w. F. LOOK, Secretary.

Ga, supplemented by others. be it
therefore
RESOLVED, That the thanks of the
Commercial Club be extended to the
Ladies Improvement Association of
81 Andrews Bay, for the earnest eff
forts they have made to secure a ca
nal connecting East Bay and the Apa-
lachicola river, the fruits of which
were plainly discernible in the action
of the friends of this project in the
Convention.
A general discussion followed on
the Harbor and Canal questions, re-
marks being made by Messrs West,
Carlisle, Mckenzie and Matthews.
The great Importance of securing
all the information and facts possible
in regard to the commerce to be
affected, was agreed upon, and the
necessity of getting this in shape for
presentation to members of Congress
whose efforts in behalf of these pro-
lects we hope to enlist, and who will
be invited to visit the Bay.
1t was the opinion of those present.
that much good can be done by bring
ing to the attention of Commercial
Clubs, and Boards of Trade, of south
Alabama and Georgia towns, the i'm
portance of this harbor and the plo-
posed canal, in connection with their
own growth and the development of
the country surrounding.
The Secretary was therefore in
structed to extend invitations to such
Bodies to send representatives to the
Bay to study the situation.
A short talk was made by the Sec
retarY, calling attention to the ne
cessity of each member making a
more vigorous effort to perfect a
strong organization, and to work in
dividually for the development of our
resources, and the establishment of
business enterprises.
We would like to say further to
those who were not present, that a
large membership is essential, and a
full attendance at every meeting is of
vital Importance to the life of the
Club, and the success of it's work.
Lack of interest on the part of the
many, will go long ways toward
multiplying the hard work of the few;
and an earnest plea is made to every
one to put his shoulder to the wheel,
hustle for new members, and by per-
sonal effort and attendance at each
meeting, help the work along.

Panama City pilot., 1908-11-19

One of the most important positions
along our seacoast is that of tending
the lights that are placed by the Gov
ernment for the safe navigation of
the highways of commerce during
the night time, in and out our harbors
and along the coast.
First in order come the light houses,
by which the mariner is safely piloted
toward his port, then come the range
lights by which he keeps within the
channel in entering and leaving the
same.
Up to few years since the entrance
to st Andrews Bay was without
lights. The East Pass channel was
buoyed, but to pick up and enter the
harbor by the aid of these buoys in
the night time, was almost if not
quite an impossible undertaking.
Through the efforts of the late Capt
l.. Nj. Ware, assisted by others in
terested, the Government was finally
prevailed upon TO place range lights
to govern the entrance to the Bay
through East Pass, and when once
inside, other range lights, to aid in
sailing up the bay.
These lights are what are called 5th
order beacon lights, and are placed
some sixteen hundred feet apart,
red light nearest the pass, or in front,
with white light in range, to the
rear. They are lighted by kerosene
lamp, which burns day and night, re-
