British Columbia's Problem.
Seattle Times.l

Opposition to the proposed Yukon-Alaska High way inspired partly by political partisanshp and partly by the desire of local districts to get their lroads first has appear in the British Columbia Parliament The Province to the northward is faced with a problem of broad policy whether to build it's trunk highways first, to attempt to satisfy all local demands. The question has been settled definitely here in Washington, and our British Columbia neighbors might well take note of our road-buiding achievements
 More than twenty years ago it decided in Washington to build the trunk highways first One result has been to finish a paved road through the State which, extended, reaches from Tia Juana, Mexico, to Hazelton B. c. East-West highways have been built the State with the idea of fostering tourist travel and permitting motorists to see the country Purely local projects generally have been left to Counties and to road districts Wash ington takes warrantable pride in it's roads and realizes that the results could not have been achieved had the State Legislature yielded to the importunities of every locality in the State.
 The tourist business is important source of income for Canada Every year travel across the boundary and between Provinces increases. There are unmstakabe signs that the tide of summer travel is definitely set in the direction of the Pa cfic Northwestl British Columbia would it's own interests best by centering it's activities on trunk routes in order to attract more tourists. As for the Yukon Alaska Highway, it would be magnet that would attract tourists from all over Canada and the United States. And the benefits would not be limited to the money spent by visit ors Capitalists seeking investments would have a chance to come face to face with British Colum- bias marvellous possibilities. They would return to develop business properties or to make homes. It would be serious mistake if the people of British Columbia adopted the shortsighted policy of build
 ing pieces of roads to satisfy local constituencies Such program would retard road-buildng for twenty years

PRESIDENT HOOVER ACTS WISELY.

President Hoover's activity in taking steps to from interfering with commerce and industry were not only timely, but all the evidence indicates that he proceeded wisely. Accepting the theory that the important thing to keep everybody at work, the President called the representatives of the indus tries transportation and workmen into conference The decision was to enlarge production and increase employment A permanent committee appointed to observe the trend of things and to call upon the proper sources to make more work whenever unem- poyment appears.
 One of the important things that have resulted from the conferences was the request of the Presi dent that employers refrain from dischargng men and that they in no case decrease wages. He urged that wherever possible, wages ought to be in- creased. The purpose is of course to prevent con- sumption from falling down The wage earners are large consumers and it is important that they have money to pay for what they want to consume If consumption is maintained at normal better production and employment must be normal oi better
 President Hoover demonstrated when Secretary of Commerce that no man in the country wa better able to put his finger the necessary spot whenever depression was threatened, to avert col lapse. In the recent crisis he simply applied that he had tried out before The Presidents ex perience at the head of the Department of Com wonderful training for the Presidency.

HOW TO COOK REINDEER MEAT.

Reindeer meat is being marketed in this country on constantly increasing scale Aid through re- search has been given the reindeer industry in Alaska by the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Government agencies. Improved methods of slaughtering and cold-storage practices, together with better man agement of reindeer herds have resulted in building up what is of the foremost agricultural industries of Alaska, and have materially extended the grazing range available for profitable by stockmen.
 Reindeer meat first put trial in the United States in the Northwest. Then transcon- tinental dining cars, and hotels the Pacific Coast and in Northern and Mid-Western cities added it to the menu At present reindeer meat is widely distributed that housewives are asking how to cook it. The Bureau of Home Economies made study of the subject and applied the various methods used in cooking other meats to that oi the reindeer. leaflet containing suggested recipes may be had by writing to the United States De- partment of Agriculture.
 The reindeer differs in size and shape from either beef cattle sheep and the cuts vary accordingly. The most desirable cut is the round It may be used steaks and is the most satis factory piece for roasting. The lower end of tho round is less tender and be used best as pot roast or for making soup The loin and Til cuts make satisfactory small steaks chops. Tn,

THE BIG SHOW By Mary Graham Bonner

l A grand looking man stood in the middle ring and made an announce ment:
 You gre now to behold the frs. circus ever held in the air. It is tc be the greatest, the most magnificent and most wonderful circus ever held at any time, anywhere.
 Not only will you see the mos dazzling performances, the m os | breath taking. tricks, the most amaz- 1 ing feats of bravery and skill, but we have brought up grass and earth and sawdust to make this circus complete in every detail "As I blow my whistle the show will commence"
 And what a show it was! It was like a regular circus except it was the finest one either John or Peggy had ever seen.
 Just before it was over a man went around and sold tickets for the concert which was to follow the big show. The Little Black Clock bought tickets, and they stayed and heard the concert. Then they all went below the part of the dirigible where the circus had been held and got into their planes and made off at once.
 Oh said Peggy. q am so glad that you can turn the time ahead or back as you wish, Little Black Clock. I never, in all my life, believed I'd see a circus in the air Ut was all ri h t, wasn't it.? agreed the Little Black Clock. But for our next adventure-Oh, we're at home now. Well, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow evening"

The National House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee has put the stamp of It's approval the proposed S160,000,00 tax cut. The President says there ought to be surplus of $122 OOOOO0 even after this cut is made. If revenues continue the upward trend of the past the surplus will be much larger. While would prefer lower taxes there is 8 lot of satisfaction in seeing the National debt melting away.

Liquor Drug on New York Market.
.(NeW York World ]


 For the first time since Prohibition, New York IS faced with shortage of night clubs.
 The recent market decline which took much water out of stocks, has left little except water in the clubs. The lambs shorn in Wall Street have made the champagne palaces the goat and re- fuse to purchase anything except water in the places which only few weeks ago were doing a roaring business in the roaring Fortes and Fifties
 Not only have several night clubs closed but the pinch has been felt by society bootleggers, catering to rich patrons, who find themselves with lot of good liquor they uanble to dispose of.
 Imported champagne, which selling a few days back for $100 a case is listed the whole sale market at from $70 to $75 a case while the same slash in prices applies to Canadian Rye and Scotch Rye, it was reported yesterday is now Wholesaling at $59-60 where it brought as much as S8O before the Bears began to hammer the market First grade Scotch which sold at $6O to S65 a case is now offered at from $49 to $50 All this IS first class uncut stuff and there are few takers So serious is the wholesale liquor situation that big booteggers expressed the opinion yesterday that the rum kings would be forced to look for another market. It was even reported in rum running cir cleS that some of the rum boats had scorned New York reversed their propellers and are heading for moister and more lucrative havens
