CENTRAL AFRlcA's FIRST ROAD.
A scotehman's Gift, II Has Done Much
to Develop the Region.

to Develop the Region.
James Stevenson, wealthy Scotch
man. gave $4,000 to build a road oe-
tween the north end OF Lake Nyassa
and the south end of Lake Tanganyika
in Central Africa about twenty-five
years ago. He was convinced that
nothing would help more to develop
Africa than good highways.
1t has helped to accustom the ma
tives of that densely peopled region
to work for the whites, and to use
calico and other European articles.
The work of construction was the first
instance on a large scale of the lttili-
zation of native labor In Central Afri-
ca. MANY, trained laborers now Hve
along. the road and are engagedT In
transport service between the Two
greatalakes G b tBll gdl GS
This highway is known as the Stew
enson road. Mf Chrapkovskf, an off,
cial In the German,sefvice. who rec
emily travelled, over the road has
written an interesting account OF it.
He says that though nothing has
been done to maintain the road built,
twenty five years ago, 1t is still, with
the single exception of the road be-
tween Victoria Nyanza and Tangany-
ika, the best highway in Central Az
rica. As nothing has been done to
maintain the road It is now covered
with grass, but travellers say this is
really an advantage as the vegetation
has helped to keep the road from
washing, and 1t is also better for the
feet of the carriers who dislike to
walk on those stretches where there
is no grass, for 1t is as hard as stone
and hurts their feet.
The usefulness of the road is proved
by the fact that ,porters caryings6O
pounds on their backs make an, ayr
age of twehty miles a day while Rhe
usual journey isionly, ten miiess Ehe
road passes entirely through British
territory and the GoSernmeht has fr-

nights rest and there are cook houses
where the meals OF the caravans are
prepared. One of the neighboring
chiefs is held responsible for the
cleanliness and good order of each sta
tion. He receives a monthly salary
of few shillings from the Govern
ment and a few yards of calico from
each caravan passing over the route.
The road was intended and is we'll
adapted for the use of wagons, but
unfortunately the South African oxen
that were brought into the country
did not thrive there and the expert
ment of using them was given up. As
long as oxen were used large wagons
loaded with 6,000 pounds of freight
and drawn by sixteen oxen made an
average of fourteen miles a day from
one lake to the other.
When the oxen proved failure.
small carts hauled by the natives and
carrying about 1000 pounds of freight
were introduced, but II was finally de-
cided that transport on the backs OF
men who receive only from five to
seven shillings a month was cheaper,
and now vehicles are seldom seen on
the road
