"It is manifest," says -Mr, Kahn,

Marconi Will Build
Low Power Stations
A despau•h from London says:
Following announcement by Senator
William Marconi of the success of his
short wave, low-power "beam" wire -
lees experiments, in both telegraphy
and telephony, Godfrey Isaacs, head
el the Marconi Company announced
his firm will build no more high-power
stations.
All the stations of the future, ac-
cording to present plans, will be
under 25 kilowatts in power. Both
Marconi and Isaacs predict that a
substantial reduction in rates can be
made when the new stations are in
operation.
The four advantages are: Low
power; comparatively inexpensive
short wave stations will maintain di-
rect high-speed service with the most
distant points; more words can be
sent a day; the system is directional,
and can be received only by stations
within the restricted sector of the
beam; economy in the cost of new
stations, andin operation due to the

CROW'S NEST PACT
IS AGAIN IN FORCE
Schedule of Freight Rates Ef-
fective Automatically in
View of No Action
by House.
Ottawa, July 7. -At midnight the
Crow's Nest Pass agreement, affect-
ing freight rates in Western Canada
and providing substantial reductions
on a list of specified commodities,
came into full force again. Its re-
sumption of effect is automatic, inas-
much as no, step bas been taken by
Parliament to further suspend the ex-
tension of that pact. Last Thursday
was the latest date on which the pro-
• eesses of legislation could be begun
and since that time there has been no
discussion of It in the House.
While it has been argued by the
heads of the C.P.R. and the C.N.R.
that the application of the Crow's
Nest rates to Western traffic will
have a serious effect on their earnings,
it was pointed up by counsel for the
Western Provinces._ during the recent
hearing that the predictions made in
1922 by E, W. Beatty; K.C., and D. B.
Hanna, for their respective roads,
were not realized.
Winnipeg, July 6. -"It is indeed]

Hamilton, managing secretary of the
*Shippers' Bureau, Winnipeg Board of
Trade.
"This will mean a saving of at
least $10,000,000 yearly to the con-
suming public and will materially re-
duce the disparities which have been
hampering the progress of the West
for the past few years," added Mr.
Hamilton.
New Zealand Farmers
Demand State Banks
A despatch from Wellington
says: -Great pressure is being ex-
erted on the New Zealand Government
to establish agricultural state banks,
the Agrarian interests urging here, I
as they have done in Canada, and;
other agricultural countries, that
farmers need further credit facilities.]
Mr. Wilfrid, the Opposition leader,
moved a vote of censure on the Gov -1
ernment on Thursday on the ground
of their failure to extend pensions,
and to promote other social and hu-
manitarian legislation; to relieve
soldier settlers; to solve the housing
and unemployment problems, and to
establish agricultural state banks.
Mr. Stewart, the Minister of Cus-
toms, in reply, defended New Zea-'
land's sound financial position, and
contended that the Australian exper
ience did not warrant the establish -1
ment of a state bank .here. Th.i de-
bate is preeeeding but defeat of 'be
Government is considered highly im-
probable.

ABUNDANT CROPS IN

ield-
Nor th Needs Rain..
Calgary, July .6. -Crop conditions
of the country to the south of Calgary
are excellent, according to reports
submitted by The Calgary Herald's
special crop representatives in the
fifth report for this year. The hot
wgather following on tha recent rains
has' brought the growing grain along
very- rapidly, and the outlook is con-
sidered decidedly optimistic.
Lethbridge reports that with a July
rain there is bound to be a bumper
cop, while Caidston says craps were
ri*ver better...
Districts north of Olds, 60 •miles
nQ th of Calgary, are not so well fav-
ored, net having had the rainfall that
was general throx ghott the south,
Consequently reports are not :so ene
couraging, and unless there is con -I
siderable moisture in the next week
conditions will be anything by -favor -I
able. Along the Goose Lake line there
is also great need of rain, although
the crops, so far, are standing up well
under the intense heat of the last few
days.
Prince of Wales' Ranch
To Reap Good Crop
A despatch from Calgary says: -
"So far as we know, no particular
plans will be made for the visit of his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,"
said Prof. W. L. Carlyle, manager of
the E.P. ranch, the other day. "It is
probable that the Prince will make a
quiet visit, just as he did last year.
We did not know that he was conning,
but we are delighted by the announce-
ment."
Professor Carlyle did not know
when the Prince was coming, but as-
sumed that the visit would probably
take place in October.
Professor Carlyle said that the
Prince would find some ebanges. The
gardens were improving, in accord-
ance with the original plans, ancilreat-
tle and machinery sheds were being
constructed.
"But what will please ithe Prince,"
said Prof. Carlyle, "will. be the lux-
uriant grass and hay and the abun-
dant crops. I have never seen South-
ern Alberta look better than it does
to -day."

The supporters of . the scheme will,
