	Speaking of grain elevators; I might say here, that while our train
	rattled thro' the large freight yards, I caught a glimpse of what
	has been called,- the most romarkable grain elevator in the world.

	        It is formed entirely of concrete and steel. It is situated
	near Lake Erie along the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern R.R. tracks,
	and all grain going East over this road is weighed and transferred
	from Western into Eastern cars at this elevator, which has an actual
	working capacity of 60 car loads of grain in and out in ten hours.

        	In addition to the transferring of grain, this elevator is said to
	also equipped for cleaning and sperating the mixed grains. It has a
	storage capacity of 650,000 bushels of grain.

        	The foundation of the structure is of concrete and upon this
	is built a number of steel bins of cylindrical shape.  The elevator
	and all the machinery about the sturcture is operated by electricity
	received from the large power houses at Niagara Falls, - 22 miles
	distant, Compressed air is also said to be distributed freeely through
	the elevator for the purpose of blowing dust out of the motors, for
	sweeping floors, blowing the dust from the quantities of grain etc.
	An illustration of this Grain Elevator appears on Page.    .
