timate0 that less than five years will
be necessary for finishing the work.
Some of the details in the running OF
the trains are interesting. They start
and return on alternate days The
Journey inland is upgrade, and the
speed is II miles an hour.
The prices. are in three classes,

Americans is, the names of the stations

bury with the road from Cape Town

EXTENSION OF THE TELEGRAPH.
Before speaking of the railroads of
British South Africa. it may be well
to say word about the telegraph lines,
because the railroads will follow in
their track. The telegraph is the scout
of the railroad system in Africa-its
advance agent. Along with the iron
rail from Cairo to Cape Town runs
Rhodes plan of a wire line. And it
will be finished in a few years. Last
Christmas the line had been carried
from Buluwayo to Jumbo on the Fam
bezi river. The natives now telegraph

measuring in an air line, LOO miles
southwark, Cairo to Fashoda, and 1900
4 miles northward, Cape Town to. Lake
| Tanganyika. This will leave unfinished
only 1,400 miles, as the crow flies, in
! Congo Free State and British East At
RIGA. Leopold is in favor of developing
Congo, and therefore he is building the
road through his territory. The rich
| lands of British East Africa and the
necessity of joining the north and south
| would be ample reason for building the
! link from Lake Victoria to Fashoda, so
that somewhere between 1915 and 1925
we may expect to see one trunk line
of railroad from Cairo to Cape Town.
! branches tapping it at intervals and
connecting it with all the important
cities along the eastern coast. 1t will
really be a great backbone of ciyiliza--
| ton extending through the center of
the dark continent. and bringing all
the wonderful resources of the interior
into intimate touch with all the world.
POSSIBILITIES OF ELECTRICITY.
One other great factor will shortly
| contribute to the DEVELOPMENT of At
RIGA This is long distance transmission
of electric power Already the water
falls of the Nile at Assuan have been
harnessed and power is being trans
mitted overland to various points. Al
exandria is being lighted by transmit
ted electric power. Prof George
Forbes, the English engineer, has re-
turned lately from an extended Visit
to the interior of the continent. He has
decided that Victoria falls in the center
of Africa can be harnessed and made
to transmit thousands of horsepower
over hundreds of miles of undeveloped
territory, where it can be used at COM
parativeiy trifiing cost to develop all
the natural resources. 1t is estimated
that this capacity to develop thou-
sands of horsepower in the wilderness
without the need of coal will hasten the
development of Africa a hundred per
cent 1t is suggested that even the
railroads may be able to utilize this
power in the interior.
This is Africa as it is today. Her
future will depend on the working out
of the various schemes which are be-
ing operated by the great nations now
contending for possession of her terri
tories. In any event she will go for
ward rapidly; that is inevitable.
Doubtless the direct influence OF the
two nations which are trying to draw
a Maltese cross over the land will be
foremost in the great work. England's
colonizing instincts Will cause her pro-
jectS to spring forward, and, it must be
admitted, will in the end be better for
the native. Frances self-centering pol
icy will hardly permit the development
to go on at the rate at which England
will push the work. England now
seems to have clutched the most of the
nut and her natural acQuiSitiVeneSS
will cause her to fight for it if neces-
sary. With Mr.. Cecil Rhodes pushing
his railways and telegraphs from the
south, General Kitchener pushing down
from the north, and with the moral
force of Britains past achievements
behind it all, there seems little doubt
as to how the star of empire will be
made to shine over the dark continent.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-10-02

In Egypt the railroad has followed
the British advance. In 1895 it reached
Wady Halfa, a distance of 500 miles
from Cairo. In 1897 it was pushed for
ward to Berber, 300 miles more. The
capture of Omdurman means the i'm
mediate continuation of the railroad to
that point. The necessities of a big
army, the immediate need of occupy
ing in force the whole of the district,
calls for rapid construction. The pres
ent railroad in Egypt has been built
almost entirely for military purposes,
and its chief characteristic is military
utility. After the war has closed the
branches of commercial value will be
advanced on the foundation already
laid down by the army.
In British East Africa line has been
planned to run from Mombosa, on the
coast, to Lake Victoria Already the
first 100 miles have been opened and
trains are running. The whole distance
to be built is CSC miles. and it is es-
