Both of these concerns desire job

show that the Congo river Is a very
large stream rising far in the interior
of the African continent and is navig-

Portuguese Congo lies south of the
Congo river extending from the coast
inward along the river for q great

port near the mouth of the Congo
river. Both Loango and Loanda are
jobbing and trading points for the

two ports are great rivals for the
African trade. Railroads are also be.

and the country is very fertile.
Rich and Fertile Lands. ..
All OF the European powers hold
more or less territory In Western
Africa. the geography of which will
most likely be changed by the pres
ent European war. European nations
for the past several years have been
directing emigration of their own peo-
Piles to their African colonies. which
are very rich and fertile. instead of
encouraging them TO so TO North or
South America. There is bound in
any event TO be a great development
in Western Africa IN agricultural pur.
suits. and great field of tractor
sales will be opened up.

SALTY says we were wrong In
that famous rooster story of last
week. Well, making corrections is
our ''long suit" 80 here goes: Ed
says the bird did not come in by par
eel post, but by the good old Sperlock
express line; that he fed and led Mr..
Rooster out to water regularly for 4S
hours before Art Fairfax, of the
Rangely mail line. called for him (the
bird) that the alleged escape was all
. myth; that Mr.. Rooster hadn't any
intention Of trying to escape; that
his little sprint around block or two
was just In the nature of exercise /;
that after duly exercising, he came
back TO his coop Tor box) and showed
that he was perfectly willing to con-
tinue his journey to his future home
the Evan Thomas farm In the Park.
Now, this 10 the only correction We
will make In this rooster story; be-
cause, . rooster story, like . fish
story, 10 only susceptible to one cor
rection; and when that correction IL
made and duly recorded, ~ In this
case, the correction stands-flnal and
irrevocable.
