RAILROAD TO OPEN
UP AFRICAN COAST
Trunk System, 786 Miles Long,
From Ocean to Interior.

New York.-An event Of great eco
nomic Importance will be realized ear
ly in 1914 by the completion Of the
Central railway In German East Afri-
ca. Construction was begun in 1904
and completed to Tabora, $50 miles
from the seaboard terminal, in Febru-
airy, 1912.
The railroad when completed will
extend 1856 m~iles-from D~aressalam, on
The Indian ocean, to Kigoma, on Lake
Tanganyika. The line divides the
German colony into two equal areas,
thus making a trunk system from
which branches may be built over a
great part of the colony.
A vast and productive region is thus
| opened for establishing plantations. 1t
| will also become the outlet for the
| broad hinterland in which lies Lake
~Tanganyika. with its 400 mile stretch
of navigahle waters. tributary to
which is I rich commercial region in
the heart o. Africa.
Along the extensive shore of this lake
products viii be gathered and distrib-
nted by a 1eet of ships cooperating
with the railway. German East Afri-
ca. with its area of $4,000 square
miles and a population Of 1O,OOO.OOo,
is certain to respond to the economic
advantages created by the completion
Of the Central railway. Great areas
of wild land will be brought into mod.
ern cultivation. i'm which large capital
will be invested. new mineral regions
and forest areas will be exploited AND
public highways will be extended.
