By ANDRUE BERDING,
Associated Press staff Writer.


Some trade advantages with Great
Britain which the United States lost
to the British dominions six years ago
are to be restored by the Anglo
American trade agreement soon to be
signed here.
Under the Ottawa agreements OF
1882 the United Kingdom gave the
dominions preferential tariff treatment
for their agricultural and other natu-
raj products in return for preferential
treatment of her manufactured goods.
From that time, officials here say,
dates the practical loss of Britain as
a market for United States wheat and
an enormous curtailment of United
States shipments of fresh and canned
fruits and many other products.
The Anglo-American trade agree
ment will eliminate empire preference
as to some American goods and lessen
it as to some others.
What the Ottawa agreements did to
the trade of the United States is told
in few figures.
Policy of Protectionism.
Before Britain began policy of real
protectionism in 1881 only 29.5 per
cent Of imports from the United States
were dutiable. In 1882, before the
Ottawa agreements, this percentage
had risen to 7O2. After the Ottawa
accords the percentage was 1875.
The trade of this country suffered
more acutely that that of others be-
cause it was stricken by the higher
ranges OF duties. Before the Ottawa
agreements British duties or more
than 20 per cent caught only l per
cent of American goods. After the
agreements &C per cent of American
goods had to pay such duties.
A six-cent per bushel duty was
imposed on American wheat, whereas
Canadian and Australian wheat went
into Britain free. American meat ship
ments were cut down by quota
system in favor of the dominions.
American fresh fruit shipments
slumped because of preference given
Canadian and Australian fresh fruit
and South African grapefruit. The
British market became all but closed
to American lead and zinc, copper,
hardwood timber and lard.
Railroads Suffered.
American railroads and ports suf-
fered by the regulation that to enjoy
the preferential tariffs products from
the dominions must go directly to
the United Kingdom. This diverted
Canadian wheat from United States
ports to Vancouver, st. John and
Halifax.
American negotiators have been
hopeful of having this regulation abro-
gated through the forthcoming trade
agreement.
Kingdom fell from 119 per cent of
Britain's total purchases in 1882 to
Ill per cent in 1887, while her pur-
chases from empire countries rose
from 354 per cent to 1874.
At the same time United States trade
with the dominions tended to recede in
favor of British goods.
The Ottawa agreements have made
the trade-treaty with Great Britain
more difficult to negotiate than those
with other countries. Some conces-
sions made to the United States by
Great Britain had to be explained to
Canada and the other dominions and
some adjustments promised them.
Although the United States has car
ried on two separate bilateral negotia-
tions, one with the United Kingdom
and the other with Canada, some deals
made by this country with Britain
were counter balanced by trades be-
tween this country and Canada.

Mary Carlisle Stars Oppos- ite Bing Crosby in New
 Musical Comedy

Talent from three of radios most popular programs is included in the impressive list of actors and enter tainers assembled by Paramount for it's latest comedy musical "Double or Nothing" shown for the las time tonight at the Coliseum.
 The list is headed by Bing Crosby the grooming gentleman whose "Mu- sic Hall of the Air" has recently been adjudged as among the mos popular programs on the broadcast ing chains. Bing heads the cast of Double or Nothing" a gay story of four persons who are actually forced to spend $5,000-given to them as a present-in order to win a million!
 Co-starred with Bing is Martha Rave, the -lunged lass of the latitudinal labia, the young lady whose meteoric rise in the films within the space of one year is only matched by the tremendous radio following she has won for herself on the Al Jolson radio hour. Miss Rave is rapidly forging ahead in radio and experts predict that she will soon be among the top names of the air. Her style is as unique on the air as it is on the screen and stage.
 
 From Jack Benny's popular hour comes Andy Devine. Although he has not appeared regularly on the Benny program the crack-voiced eX-football star has managed to win for himself radio following which runs into the tens of thousands. Frances Faye, famed singer, is also in the cast.
 Besides such well-known movie performers as Mary Carlisle, who plays the feminine romantic lead opposite Bing in Double or Noth- ing" William Frawley, Sam Hinds, Williams Henry, Fay Holden and a host of others, the cast boasts of the Calgary Brothers, noted comedy pair and serves to introduce to the moyie-going public the comedy dancing team of Ames and Arno known to vaudeville and revue fans l throughout America

HUNT STARTS FOR
 MISSING TRAPPER
tFaEbanks News-Miner)


 Joe Regner, Wolf Creek pros- pector, has set out to search for Ernie Woolard, an oldtimer who was due at Chatanika two months ago.
 The search was authorized by Commissioner William N Growden of Fairbanks.
 Mir Woolard is a trapper and prospector who has trapline run ming from Chatanika to the mouth of Hoosier Creek, tributary of -Beav- CT Creek. His cabins, according to Mir. Regner, are at the following places: at the head of Ophir Creek; on the middle of Trail Creek; at the mouth of Trail Creek; at the mouth of Hoosier Creek; and at the mouth of Wickersham Creek.
 An oldtimer, MT. Woolard is a pioneer prospector and trapper. Ac- cording to his friends at Chatanika, he was due back there two months ago.
 MT Regner is prospector who has five quartz claims and one placer claim on Wolf Creek, be- tween Manic Olson's placer mine and the Nordale quartz property.
 News that a big tomcat at Chat anika had bitten a man, John Michelsen, was related in Fairbanks by MT. Regner. It seems that Charles Grosbsck's cat. husky old tom, attacked MT. Michelsen from the rear, inflicting some severe bites on the back of MT. Michelsen's leg.
