Cairo. Egypt, June 16.-lt is an
undoubted fact that the inland en-
pire which Great Britain possesses
IL the Sudan is capable of grain and
cotton production to an enormous eX-
tent and the gigantic task of devel-
oping the country is to begin al
most Immediately. The territory was
wrested from the Mahdi Just fourteen
and half years ago. 1t seems but
yesterday that Kitchener had over
thrown the Khalifa at Omdurman and
had entered Khartum. Even in the
midst of the JOY felt at this trium-
phant vengeance enacted for the death
OF General Gordon earnest misgiv-
ings were expressed as to the real
practical utility Of retaking this vast
territory, which, in view of its past
history, was likely to become a white
elephant to both the British and the
Egyptian governments
Yet so successfully have Sir Reg
inald Wingate and his subordnates
worked and so wonderfully has this
territory responded to their touch
that the Sudan is this year dispensing
with the annual grant for civil eX-
penditure made to her ever since her
re-conquest by Egppt to enable her
to make both ends meet The GUS
toms dues on goods passing through
Egypt and destined to the Sudan,

Dewey, Okla, June 17.-Joe Bar
ties has closed a deal with Aviator
!. Hector Worden to bring his Gnome
motorod Moisant monoplane to Dewey
July J-4-5, ;he dates of the Sixth An
nual Roundup. Believing implicit
~ in +. 7. Graves, who brought Har-
cid Kantner to Dewey last year, Mr.
Bartles found this same manager and
asked him 10 secure the best birdman
in the country for the Dewey Fourth
of July celebration. The Arrangement
resulted in a contract with Captain
Worden.
Captain Worden, late of the MeXi-
can government air squad, is a young
man who has passed through some
hair raising experiences. While In the
employ of the late President Madero
Of Mexico he went up TO make charts
of the Iapatista camps south of the
city Of Mexico. He was quite sue
cessfui for several days and then
the rebels began to train their sharp
shooters toward him. For lust one
day bullets whizzed past his alr-rac-
er and then he did the expected
thing-quit his job. He will fly at
Dewey every day during the roping
and riding contests which this year
are attracting the best ropers and the
best busters from Texas, Arizona.

deputy engineer of the public service
commission, declares that so long as
any city deals with municipal trans

stead of as a social one, it will con-

ice. Turner advocates municipal own
ership and private operation as the
only rational solution.

HOLDINGS ON THE UPPER NILE ARE
ENCLAND'S MOST VALUABLE COLONIES

estimated at $4,000. It Is. indeed,
highly probable that the Suuan ac-

the year 1913.
Most Valuable Holdings.
This thought to be useless territory
has turned out to be one of the most
valuable possessions the British ma
tion has ever held; valuable because
it contains resources indispensable
to Great Britain in general and to
Lancashire in particular The Sudan
possesses wheat growing possibilities
that are of prime importance to a ma
tion which for its food supply is de.
pendent on foreign and more distant
sources. Sir William Garstin, in his
various reports, has made frequent
reference to the great suitability of
large tracts of the Sudan for cereal
cultivation.
At present moment the Sudan pro-
duces about 10000 bales of cotton of
400 pounds each. Most of this cotton
is grown at Tokar, in the Red Sea
province. on partially irrigated land,
and the balance in the district south
of Wad Medani. where it is cultivated
as a rain crop

Ideal for Irrigation.

The Gezira is ideally situated for
irrigation, since, although it is al
most perfectly flat, it has a well de-
fined sloped toward the White Nile,
which renders it easily drainable. Ex-
perts estimate that up to 100000
bales of high class Egyptian cotton
could be annually produced in this
district eventually. OF this quantity
quarter would be available within
the next decade or so if the irriga
ton and other works are executed
as intended.
An experimental farm of about O.
600 'feddans has been created on the
Blue Nile, just north of Wad Me-
dani at Tayiba, under the auspices
of the Sudan plantations syndicate,
which has undertaken to carry out
experiments on behalf of the Sudan
government. The cotton produced on
this farm has been Of excellent quail
ity.
AS it will be some time before the
irrigation project can be put into eff
feet in the Gezira, further expert
ments on an even more extended scale
,are to be carried out, as the Sudan
authorities are determined on MAX
ing assurances double sure before
they commit themselves definitely to
the scheme that has been elabora-
ted.

view that the British government
since Egypt can no longer afford sub
stantial financial assistance, has con-
scented to promote a bill authorizing
the treasury to guarantee the pay
ment OF the interest on a loan of
/ Sl5,OO0000, which is to be raised in
order to enable the Sudan to carry
| out the irrigation and railway works
which are so necessary to her de-
velopment.
Six Cotton Areas.
The cotton producing areas fall in
to the following six distinct spheres:
Gezira, Tokar, Kassala. Khartum dis
trict, Dinder valley and rain crop. The
Ge2ira is by far the most important
and on it depends the future Of the
Sudan. At the present moment it
produces, comparatively speaking. no
cotton-if one excepts the expert
mental station at Tayhiba-for the
simple reason that it has no irriga-
tion. The project which is included
in the above mentioned scheme of
expenditure, is to construct a dam
across the Blue Nile at Seminar in or
der TO raise the water levels after
the flood has passed, and so feed
canal running parallel along the
west bank of the river. This canal
would be about 100 miles in length
and would convey water to at first
100000 feddans Ga feddan is approx
imately an acre., increasing to 1OOO,-
900 feddans, by means of a series of
subsidiary canals.
AS matter of fact, the Gezira,
which is the land enclosed to tie
south of Khartum by the converging
courses of the Blue and White Niles,
has an area of 100000 feddans. of
which anything between 100000 AMI
1000 600 feddans could be brought
under irrigation. But to deal WITH
this extra area, storage works fur
ther up the Blue Nile, possibly at
Roseires, would have to be executed,
as there is not sufficient water in
the river in the early part of the
year.

light Is fading and before the ear
lights are turned on. Even with the
lights on. the situation is not, greatly
improved The cars are frequently
crowded and strap-hangers sway
back and forth between the paper
and the source OF light. Usually the
light is high up in the car ceiling and
is badly placed for reading, the light
being too far from the paper and
the light rays being reflected into the
eyes from the book or magazine.
Some trains now carry library
cars which have the source of light

however, is anticipated. Public
opinion will do much to remedy

be offered for improper lighting con-

why Not Read on a Trnin2

Many people believe that it is in
furious to the eyes to read on a
train, but few seem to know why.
The reason is the added strain on
the delicate muscles OF the eyes in
constant action to readjust the focus,
Extra work is thus thrown on these
tiny muscles, as the changing Of
focus occurs sometimes hundred
times a minute, says the American
Medical Journal.
Another cause of eye strain IN
reading on trains is the poor lighting
usually encountered. Often people
try to read their evening papers on
