Marked
improvement, in'" weather con-
ditions throughout the Prairie, Pro-
vinces:has' proved a welcome boon to
.the Western farmer generally.
Despite the lateness of the seeding
oprations and the unusually cold wea-
ther during the past month, recent
rains' and rise in temperature Have
contributed greatly to rapid growth.
Wheat seeding is completed in; the
three Provinces with the exception of
a ,few isolated districts, while good
progress is reported in the seeding of
coarse grain.
Farmers ers ' • .
m in :the Regina' district n.e
port that crops are slightly ahead of
last year, and in some districts wheat
has reached -the height of three inches.
In tire. Prince Albert district lack of
precipitation has, somewhat retarded
growth, but rain is forecast
The season's crop prospects in Al-,
berta are regarded as the most ideal
in many years. A steady but gentle'
downpour of last week -end over: a
wide area -proved very beneficial.'
In`Manitoba the crop is not much'
later than in former years, although;
the lateness of the seeding season'
materially reduced the acreage sown'
to wheat.
"There is ample time yet for the
development of a good crop, and, not -1
withstanding unfavorable weather,
conditions during the early spring, no'
fear need be entertained concerning
the crop, declared Premier John
Bracken, Minister of Agriculture for
Manitoba, following ;a visit through
the Neepawa district.

The Natural `Resources' Intelligence
Service of the Department of the'In-
terior : at Ottawa says:-
The p iodnction cf: some of the baser
pieta's in Ontario last year show such
large:incree.ses over the previous year;
that they are worthy -of mention. " We
hear moldy of Ontario gold-und silver
production that we often overlook the
fact that: nickel, copper and :lead form
a large proportion= of the provincial`.
mineral output, r and, --for industrial
purposes' are probably ;more import-
ant than gold and silver.
Nickel last year` showed :produetion
of 23,237,$34 pounds, compared with
11,175,326 pounds - in 1922;, copper
produced amounted to ` 14;420,244
pounds in 1923, and 4,508,358 pounds
in 1922; the output of lead in 1923
was 4,612,813 pounds,' as -against 2;
=895,695,p'ounds in 1922. It is inter-
esting to note that the Sudbury dis-
trict provides almost all of the nickel
and copper, while Ontario's lead pro-
duction comes niainly;,from the imine

to row across the big eddy. The cur-

boat, ` Finding himself gradually be-

London Has Device to Caary
24,000 Passengers Per Hour
The first triplg escalator' in the
world was opened in London at the
Bank station on the subway recently,
replacing • live lifts, old-timers, which
have carried people up and down since
1900. The old lifts were quite inade-
quate to cope with the modern rush
of passengers: `
The nieehanisnt ofthe triple esca-
lator, which is proudly advertised as
being entirely of British construction,
has been, reduced to the minimum. The
three escalators are in one -shaft,.a
tunnel of 27 feet diameter, and each is
worked by two 45 -horsepower motors.
The"rerticaI rise is 48 feet and .there
is a vertical speed ` of 45 feet` pee
minute.
Itis estimated that this new esca-
lator is capable of handling more than
twenty-four thousand passengers . an
.hour. There are 180 stops on each
stairway, and the centre one is re-
versible, up in the morning forthe.
