he desired to keep in touch with the
movement and the interview will be
made use of to further arouse the
cities of Indiana to the need of an or
ganization of interests that will result
in beneficial action. AS a matter of
fact, the Indianapolis Commercial

with such favor that IL is ready. at any

near future is to be in electrical ma chinery. The Zambesi Falls, with its 35.000,0oO horsepower. is to be utilized and the London syndicate formed to take the power to the Rand has foated enough stock to begin work. Within a short time there will be 500 miles of aluminium cable as big as your wrist running from the Zambesi river to Jo- hannesburgi and all the gold mines will be using the power. This means cleo trical cars underground and all sorts of electrical attachments. If the line Is successful the power will be sen. out to the different parts of South Af- rica within the above radius and the electrical market will be enormous. At present our trade in such goods is in
 creasing. There are now electric tram ways in many of the cities of Algeria and Egypt, and an extensive system Is about to be put into Khartum. Pretoria want elctric car lines, and it intends to lay 15 miles of track in the town

of our own through which to do our bLslucss without paying toll to London. As it is now the banks of South Africa are operated with British capital, and they are all yielding big dividends. The Standard bank of South Africa pays IT per cent and the Natal bank made clear profit of S5O0.Oo0 last year on a capital of g. 800 GOO. About the lowest interest of Johannesburg is per cent, and one- eighth of 1 per cent and more is charged on remittauces abroad. There are several thousand American citizens living and doing business in South Africa, and an American hank of Johannesburg with $5O0OOO0 capital ought to be able to pay a dividend the first year.
 Our Trade With South Africa.
 I believe that our trade with South Africa could be greatly increased. At the time of the it ran up as high as $3S, ,0O0000 per annum and Is now some thing like SIS, 100000 more. In 1906 it was almost S20 OO0, GOO and there is a prospect of q considerable increase. The country is now having hard times but there are signs of improvement and at present the various colonies are purchasing S250. GOO, 900 worth of foreign goods every year. The Transvaal is taking almost $90,OO0O00 Ma tai buys S4500O.000, Orange River colonies S1S, ,00O, eco and Cape Coloney s90 000000 more.
 American goods are popular in South Africa. Our foodstuffs are found every where. I saw California fruit, Alaska salmon and Ohio oatmeal on sale in Sails bury, Rhodesia. I ate Chicago canned beef at Victoria Falls on thu Zambesi and rode in American buggy about Kimberley
 During my stay at the diamond mines MT. Alpheus Williams the manager of the De Beers syndicate, showed me a tel egram stating that 150 brood mares and four asses had just been shipped to him from the United States. He says the American mule is largely used in South Africa and that he has now about two thousand of them which came from Mis- souri, employed in the mines. American mules are used in Johannesburg. I saw them in Zanzibar and they are gradually tramping their way into Rhodesia. A great many were brought here at the time of war and they proved so good

is good street car system operated by electricity. and the same Is true of Cape Town. Nearly all the deep gold mines have electric machinery for raising the ore, and there are electrical elevators in the big business build ings of Johannesburg. American goods of this kind are considered the best, and our leading American firms have their agents on the ground looking up the trade.
 South Africa is generally considered an agricultural country. There are mil lions of acres In Rhodesia, the Transvaal and Cape Coloney which will raise hogs and hominy, but so far the country does not begin to feed itself. In 1906 more than 900 worth of foodstuffs were imported and this included more than $1 1000, GOO worth of hams, about s3,000,000 worth of butter and more than $2. 900. 600 worth of condensed milk. The most of the meat still comes from the United States, although our packing house pro ducts were greatly injured by the ly ing book known as '.The Jungle and

 During my stay in British Central Africa l stopped with the manager of one of the mines there. As we sat at dinner one night dish of Chicago canned beef. cooked in stew, was brought in. As 1t was served the Jungle" was re- ferred to and I was asked whether the stories in it were true. I replied they were not. whereupon Britisher at the table answered.
 "I don't know. I can see that this dish of canned beef is all right. but the cook tells me he found mans thumb in the one he opened up yesterday
 This man afterward said he was joking and he spoke very highly of American meats, saying that the men in the wilds of Africa could not get along without them. Everywhere I go. however, I meet with slurs on our packing-house prod ucts, notwithstanding that the men who do the slurring are, the while, eating these meats with great gusto.

A Big rIarket Which Could Be Supplied With American Goods

Copyright 1908 by Frank c. Carpenter)
 Steamship Saxon, Union Castel line, en route Cape Town to Southampton. "HE United States Congress has re-
 fused to subsidize a steamship x line from New York to Cape Town and Uncle Sam seems asleep to the pos sibilities of South African trade. During the past ten months l have been travelling through the various colonies. The people are alive to the value of American goods A big wedge has already been inserted and few sledge hammer blows will split our way into this part of the continent.
 Few people realize the enormous wealth which is bottled up in the Transvaal and Cape Colony. This steamship on which l am going from Cape Town to England is one of 12 900 tons and it belongs to fleet of 20 or more. There are seY- eral large German lines which send regu- lar steamers around Africa and there are many vessels from Scotland and Eng land which play regularly up and down the east and west coasts.
 The Saxon is one of the fast mail ships and it is now loaded with treasures. Down in the vaults there are packages of rough diamonds worth s5,000,0oo. and great yellow gold bricks whose value is S30,UtU,Upu ana more. Ill the uOlu lllSi . are ostrich feathers marked for London worth over S1,000000 and we have in ad- dition a cargo of sheeD's wool, Angora mohair and great bales of cowskins and goatskins.
 South Africa's Big Trade.
 But this .s cnly one ship and others are leaving every few days. The exports of South Africa are now running at some thing like $375 5,OO0, 600 a year and the inn ports are over s250,000 GOO, making a total carrying trade of more than $625 100. All of this goes in European vessels, and the greater part of the freight is paid tc the Germans and British. The goods are sent to Europe, and many are then trans-shipped to the United States. We are the best customers for the diamonds end the ostrich feathers and many of the skins find their way to olfr tanneries.

ness with which the supplies can be 1uf- nished from the United States is great point in favor of American orders. As to lumber for the roads, in the way of ties, etc., much of that is now shipped from the United States. In and about the Kimberley mines there are 15O miles or track laid with American rails and the ties are of California redwood exported from San Francisco.

JOHNSTON COUNTY PEOPLE IN.
DlGNANT OVER MEASURE.
FAVORS RING LEGISLATION
County Seat Election Bill Denoupce ed
as a Vicious and Unwarranted
Effort to Thwart Rights and
Privileges Of the People.

Milburn, Okla, Mar 31.-Special.-
The people OF Johnston County have
become very indignant over the Thorn.
Es county seat election bill, recently
introduced in the Oklahoma senate,
and are circulating a petition pro-
testing against its passage. The re-
monstrance which is being circulated
and numerously signed is worded as
follows:
TO the Hon. Senators and Represen-
tatives Of the Legislature Of
Oklahoma.
We, your petitioners residing in
Johnston county, okla, most earnestly
protest against the passage of senate
bill, number 234, introduced by Thorn
as, for the following reason, to wit: II
depriyes the towns of the state, desir-
ing to become candidates for the
county seats OF their rights guaranteed
by the constitution. 1t is a vicious
and unwarranted effort to deprive the
/
rights to express their choice for
county seats, and bears the ear marks
OF ring legislation in favor of the
towns named as temporary county
seats.
We therefore most earnestly pray
that YOU, and each of you, stamp this
| bin with your disapproval, and show
/ to the voters OF the state that the Ok
| lahoma Legislature is not being run
| for the special benefit OF present coun-
| ty seat towns, and We will ever pray"
Prospective candidates for county
seats are taking the nad in the light
/ against the Thomas BILL which seems
to be the work of certainpoli tcians
who oppose letting the people of the
counties express their choice at the
polls for permanent county seats.
