DAMMING RESULTS ON THE NILE.
Work One of Worlds Most Famous
Rivers VIII Have to Perform.


The completion Of the dam across the
Nile, near Assouan begins the transfer
nation of Lower Egypt, and will intro
duce new and important force in world
commerce. How to make the waters OF
the Nile, a capricious and uncertain
stream. regularly irrigate and fertilize
the great valley has been a problem Of
the centuries. A few years ago engin-
GERS who had carefully studied the sub
ject suggested to the Egyptian govern
ment that this result could be secured by
constructing a series of dams, which
should serve as storage reservoirs. A
dam was built i'm the Delta country, south
of Cairo. 1t was successful ana the
region of the Delta was supplied with
regular and abundant irrigation. With
out delay a second dam was begun at
Assouan. 700 miles up the Nile Valley.
and. with this completed, work will short
ly begin at a point some 300 miles far
Their south on a third.
These three dams will furnish storage
sufficient to irrigate the entire Nile Val
ley, notwithstanding all variations of cli-
mate, and will bring one of the richest
reaches of land on the globe into steady
agricultural use. How important this
advantage will be is shown by the cot

of the worlds supply Permanent irri-
CATION and modern methods and imple-
ments are expected to increase this out
put many times over and to supply
British manufacturers at prices far be-
low those they have heretofore paid for
American cotton. The effect on our cot
borrowing and manufacture Will be di-
rect and important.
Cotton Is not the only product which Is
expected TO be ENORMOUSLY increased by
the permanent and regular irrigation Of
the valley Of the Nile. 1t is peculiar
adapted to sugar-cane, and under the new
conditions heavy investments of English
capital in sugar-growing and in rehneries
in Egypt are expected to be made.
The damming of the Nile, an industrial
undertaking almost equal in Importance
to the building Of the trans-Siberian Rail-
way, or the proposed construction OF the
Nicaragua Canal, has also furnished a
brilliant achievement In financing, and
one that can be studied with profit on
this side of the ocean. The Egyptian gov
eminent pays to the contractors $l,4OOOo
a year for a period Of twenty years
Meantime, It taxes the lands benefited by
irrigation, and this tax viii pay the in
terest on the bonds and provide a sink
ing fund for their redemption, besides
furnishing a considerable revenue 20 the
government The greater part OF these
bonds are held IN England, and 80 must
be counted among the forces which are
making Egypt and English colony In fGct
