The Liberal leaders on the visit to the Porcupine camp last Friday were greeted with open hospitality and good fellowship. Partizanehip and political enmity and narrow prejudices seemed to have been laid away for the day and the visitors honored as prominent citi~ zens rather than eeelrrs of political prelorrnent and favors. The onls incident that marred the serenity of the occasion. tarred a most unusual political meetinrr or gummml the prncomlincsâ€"‘just as: you like to express it -- was: the deal- imr in personalities by one of the speakers. The. washing of political linen is a relic of primitive. degrading polities: and has no plaee in a eampaiim in this north enuntry. replete with lim issues and big possibilities.

Some- thing over 151,844 acres of new land came under wheat this year. The to- tal area of wheat in Saskatchewan will this year reach 5,385,000 acres, which exceeds the rest of the Domin~ 'ion by half a million acres. With the continuanCe for a couple of Weeks 'of the present ideal conditions, it is a conservative estimate to say Sas- katchewan alone will yield 150.000,- 000 b'ushels of wheat oi the Very best quality. “In Alberta the conditions are equally gratifying. Over the whole Western country the crop is from ten days to two weeks earlier than last year. In Alberta they are now cut- ting barley, While within the next. two or three days winter wheat cut- ting in the southern part of the Pro- vince will be practically general." “I never knew that such a frightful temper.

An in- iterestint: deviee has been applied re- cently to a rock drill of the ordin- ary eonstruction. which seems from the results of tests and general ser- vice during the last year. to efiect a real improvement. An important aim in the design of all rock drills is to provide some means of preventing the head of the piston from striking: the baek head of the drill cylinder. In some types of drill this is accomplished by so regu- latins: the valve motion that the ad- mission of fluid to the upper or bat-la lfaee oi the piston for the down or workint: stroke begins before the eompletion of the return stroke. Thus, a eushion of air between tht] head of the piston and bad; head of lithe drill is eompressed at the. final lstzlu'e. of the return stroke to prevent. Ithe piston from strikingr highly com- :pressed fluid in the eompression iehamber. prmlueim: a high initial ‘veloeitv of the piston. ! The introduction of the compres- ision ehamber not only eilertuallv 'guat‘ds against striking: the haek ihead. but creatiy accelerates the working- stroke so that an unusually severe smashing blow is dealt. yet it in no way impedes the up stroke. The efieet of the compression cham- be is probably more pronounced when operating with air than with i'steam.
