It is frankly admitted that the Tordney Tarih Bill is the menace which would cause Ottawa to welcome reciprocity a solution the difficulties that foreseen
 A special dispatch to the Post from its Ottawa representative Canadian experts figure that the Forney Tariff Bill, if it should become a law in it's presnt shape. will result in falling of in Canadian exports to the United States in the sum of s20O- 000.000. What is more important to Americans it they figure that it will result in a curtalmen cf purchases in America by Canada to the extent of $500. 100000 within very short time They arrive at the latter figure by reasoning that Canada cannot purchase from the United States unless she sells to this country.

l c. A. Boerner, who has been in the employ of the Northern Com mercial Company most of the time since the early Yukon days, as navi- gator and agent, arrived in Nenana from San Francisco, en route to. Cir cle, to take charge of the company's store at that place, says the News. He will relieve Agent Whitman, who has been transferred to the Dawson store.
 Like others who have returned to Alaska during the past few weeks MT. Boerner says things are pretty tough in the states, with many out of work and prices not much lower than dur ing the war days. And he predicts that prices will continue high until labor costs have been lowered ma terially. .
 The automobile industry has been very hard hit by the slump in buy ing. Numerous of the big plants are entirely closed and others are work ing only part time. There is very little demand for new machines, and used cars are for sale all over the country for very low prices. Many people who bought machines when work was plentiful, now find them selves forced to dispose of them at almost anything they can get.
 MT. Boemer went to Fairbanks today and will go over the trail to Circle. He was stationed at Iditarod last year and was attached to the San Francisco office of the company during the winter.
