able the company to obtain the loan at
3 per cent, instead of per cent. As
the line TO Buluwayo was a paying one
from the start, there are good reasons
to believe that the government will
not lose money by such a guarantee.

Tanganyika branch and the extension
of kitchener's line to Fashoda, both to
be accomplished within a period of five
years, England will then have covered.

BACKBONE OF AFRICAN CIVIL
ZATION
The railroads of South Africa have
been in operation for d number OF
years. From Cape Town, from Dur
ban in Natal and from Delagoa Bay
lines have been built to meet the de-
mands of the Transvaal Industries. The
end of 1897 marked the first real step
in Cecil Rhodes plan when the rail-
road was extended northward as far as
Buluwayo. The financial success of
this enterprise has so encouraged
Rhodes that he has petitioned the Eng
lish government to guarantee the inter-
