AUTOS TO HAUL RUBBER.
American Company to Use Machines
in Congo Country.

New York, Feb. 17.-Utilization of
automobiles to transport rubber from
the back country of the Congo ter
ritory to the river is planned by the
American Congo company whose gen.
eral manager, Samuel P. Werner, ar
rived here yesterday from Africa,
where he has been the directing head
of the expeditions that have been
opening up the territory. The chief
problem of the territory, says Mr..
Werner is that of transportation and
his idea that the use of the automo-
bile is the most practicable plan is
founded upon personal examination
of the conditions. Back of the river
strip of timber land, he says, are the
high. smooth veldts or plains, covered
for the most part with long grass and
practically devoid of timber. my
PLAN" said Mr.. Werner, yesterday, lis
to cut automobile roads through the
Jungle strips at various points and
then by burning off the grass on the
plains we can run our cars slap across
the country without bothering about
roads 1 think it Will work excellent
w. All of the country back of the
river is high and healthy. though hot,
and is as easy to cross as Nebraska"
