OTTAWA, Oct. 22.-The British Columbia Board
OF Trade is endeavoring to stir up the boards OF
the various cities in tho dominion to take i'm
trade which has resulted from the rush to the
klondike gold fields. To this end 1t has issued
a circular, in which it says that this trade Is at
present almost entirely in the hands of United
States merchants on the Pacific coast. and is es.
timated to have amounted 10 at least $3. 900. 900
during the past few months. Next spring 1t IL
anticipated that this trade will be enormously
increased.
The circular says thu. merchants OF British
Columbia have made efforts to divert the trade
INTO Canadian channels. Direct lines OF steam.

GOOD road 1GAIN
a Computation That Presents tho Economical
Side OF the Question.

There are, it is estimated. 300, 900 miles Of
highway roads in the United States. about 20
per cent. of the roads Of all the world. Great
Britain has l2O,00O miles of roadways. and
these are some of the best in the world. Ger
many has 275 900 miles OF roads. and some of
them are as poor as the roadways OF a great
country can be. France. which has taken an
enlightened view of the good roads question for
many years and has spent by governmental or
local authority more than 81. 900. 900. 900 on
highways, has a road mileage of $4,000. more
than any other country. Russia. with an enor-
nous area. has only 10000 miles OF roadways
while Italy. a smaller country. has 50. 600.
GFor q considerable time the agitation in the
United States for good roads languished for the
reason, perhaps. that by the American system OF
subdividcd local authority what's cverybody's
business is nobody's business" and, controver.
sizes being frequent as to the liability OF national,
state. or municipal authority for needful cx-
pcnditurcs. very, little was done. The National
League for Good Roads was organized in 1892
to awaken general interest in he Improvement
OF public roads. to determine the best methods
and foster such publications as may serve these
PURPOSES" At the beginning, of the agitation.
i@S f V s "%nd It W %"sS mot until aii the hot p %"hs mTS OF
bicycling grew that the demand for improved
roads became ORGANIZED and since then consid,
cradle hsadway has been made. A compu-
tation which. finds much favor among the
advocates of good roads is this: There
In the United States there were Is, 600, 600 by
the census Of $500, and there are about
1000. 900 mules. principally in the South, the
annra! cost ot fodder for these animals being
s. ,JO0,O 900 900. On line stone roads one horse
can haul as much as three horses can haul over
the average. dirt road OF this country. II is esti-
mated that 1t would be necessary to build about
loo. 600 miles OF macadamized roads in The
United States in order to have as good
a system of public highways as is found
a mile this would involve an ont,
lay Of $1,000. 600. UOO. a pretty large
sum-. But il one-half of the draught animals
could be dispensed with by the building OF such
roads. there would be an annual saving Of
$700,o00,O 600 in the food bill. Consequently, IL
rond bonds were issued bearing 3 per cent.
interest 5000 900 miles of m~acadanized road
could be built without increasing the annual
expenses epe dollar.

NEW BISMARCK STORIES.
His Affection for His DoE-A Threat Carried
Out-BeEEinE Letters.

Henry Won Poschinger, who has published ten
or twelve volumesr regarding Prince Bismarck
political career. has written n magazine article
containing several now Bismarck stories. As
new Bismarck stories are rare pieces of litera-
turc nowadays, it may be worth while to relate
two or three of them. Told in Poschingcr's
language they are:
In 1877. when Bismarck's favorite dog,
Sultan. was dying. the Chancellor watched over
the poor creature with such keen distress that
Count Herbert at last intcrfcred and sought to
lead his father away. The Prince took a few
steps toward the door. Then, as he turned, he
met the eyes of his old friend.
"'No, no; leave me alone he exclaimed, as
he went back 70 Sultan. When the dog was
dead, he looked up al n friend near by and said:
"'Our old German ancestors had q bcautifu
religious belief. They believed that after death
they would meet in the heavenly hunting
grounds all the good dogs which were their
companions in life. ! only wish | could believe
the same
I'm ls5l-a year still in the shadow OF the
reyolution-when tho tide OF political passion
was still running very high. Bismarck entered
a restaurant one day to set u glass of beer. a
man who sat near him. and evidently was in
gan 10 abuse n member Of the royal family.
Bismarck looked at him coldly. aud Then said.
If you do not leave the room before | finish
this beer ! will break the glass over your head
The man did not 20. Bismarck Cmpticd his
glass slowly, sip by sip. lie arose. walked de.
liberatcly over to the man who had spoken in
snltinGly, Of the royal family. and smashed the
glass on his head. Tho man fell bowling to tho
floor. Bismarck turned to the waiter and asked
what the glass cost. paid the bill. and walked
out slowly to the street. Yet at this time he
was Il man OF political position and the reCog-
n!2cd LEADER of the Conservative party. True TO
his principles, however. he took the offensive,
attacking his opponent with the first weapon
that came TO hand.
THE begging letters received by bismarck
were to be counted hy the thousand. When
he was sick in Narzin all tho letters which were
not strictly private were sent back to Berlin 10
be opened and answered. The majority of them
were found to contain requests for money from
most ohcdient servants, not one OF whom had
the slightest claim on Bisnarck's assistance.
Ono Of the officials; a particularly systematic
man. kept n record OF these letters and the
amounts requested by the writer's. The sum
total was 10000, 900 marks. When this was
related to II ism irck he did not show a sign OF a
smile. but shrugged his shoulders and gave a
look OF bitter scorn. So it came that, seeing the
mehner side of human nature, he became gen
orally misanthr0pic. He held fast to the few
men ami women whom he trusted. and his first
thought when he saw n new face was: well,
