Some years ago the Federal government
examined into the road question from an
agricultural standpoint, and it collected
some facts which form the basis of a
strong argument in a demand for good
comes from farmer or cyclist. According
TO the discoveries of the government. the
farmers of the country had upon their
farms draught animals a. follows. These
statistics are from official records:

Cyclists may ask. What have we to do
with the woes of the farmer" Only this,
atht the cornerstone of enjoyment on the
wheel is a fine smooth hard road out in
the country districts, where the air is
pure and the scenery beautiful. If the
road be rough and muddy with deep ruts
and an abundance OF mud holes, pure air
and fine scenery count for but little.
The Brooklyn cyclists got together and
as z result they secured what is justly
claimed to be the finest bicycle road in
the country. What is more, il is lust as

summer. The LAND is as fat as a billiard

In 1850. the Incorporated banks or
the United States had a total capital
OF si30.O00,OOO. with q population OF
81, $50 900. In 1890 the capital OF our
chartered banks, national and state,
was sSiO.O00.O 900, while our population
was 100000, In the former period the
banking capital was as Sl357 10 each
lnhabltant; In 1890 the rate was si3.42.
within the thirty years. however, the
Increase In business transactions was
in very much higher ratio than that
OF population; quite probably two-fold.
From these facts. one OF two conclu-
sions must follow-eithcr C) that the
growth OF banking facilities has. dur
ing this period. been largely made
quate TO the requirements OF trade; or
t2) that the banks, with given amount
OF capital. are now able TO transact
a much larger amount OF business than
they did formerly.

the sinking Of the steamship Pacific

Of which the only survivor was Neil
Henley. now Of Tacoma Mr.. Henley
hoated around for hours on a raft after
the fAciiic was struck by the bark Or

man named William Sampson. who be-
came exhausted and sank. Mr.. Clark
says, with between $4,000 and Si2.-
600 In a belt around his body. The
fact that Sampson had the gold on his
person was known to Mr.. Clark and a
few others only. and II has never been

Alaska. The mining claim was a rich
one, and was known In the Yukon dis

called because the party that mined

white men and n Chinese. They re-
turned to Victoria TO spend the FIRST
winter. after taking out about $1,000
apiece In gold. and the next spring
when they went to back 10 open up the
mine again. they found that the floods
had swept away all their machinery
and they would have TO spend a con-
siderable part OF the season In making
and putting In new machinery TO han
die the placer deposits. Sampson be-
came discouraged and he sold his share
In the digglugs to his partners for
about $1,000 and returned to Victoria.
The "Three-to-One" made money that
season the same as the season before.

body, ns was the custom In those days.
The raft on which he and Henley
iloatod was In reality a chicken coop.
Sampson felt he could not last much
longer In the heavy sea. which rolled
the coop feariully. and he begged Hen.
ley 10 take the gold. The latter. feeling
that he would never set foot on shore
again, refused to take the belt. and II
went down with poor Sampson TO the
bottom Of the sea. Henley was soon
picked up. The next day. though. he
regretted the loss Of his companion on
