In the bottoms Of these deep valleys
some of which are fairly wide, and In
other depressions, tropical conditions
prevail, so that the possible products
of Abyssinia range from those OF the
tropics to those Of the northern tenn
perate zone. Little has been done
toward the development Of agriculture
beyond it's primitive stages. The rails
ing Of cattle, sheep and goats for their
milk, flesh and skins is the more popu.
lar pursuit.
The Abyssinian has been described
by one American as rather an indie.

living In feudal times. The various
reigning princes Of the provinces owe
allegiance to the emperor and must
furnish soldiers to support him In
time Of war; The land Is theoretically
owned by the emperor and those who

Decision as to his innocence or guilt

quantities Of gold, silver and ivory
are believed to lie underground at the

Good Roads Are Scarce.
One great drawback to the CONNER.
,cial development of Abyssinia has
been the lack of roads leading up to
the high plateau and over ita surface.
The routes Of travel which have been
used for more than a thousand years
are mere trails, and the burdens have
been carried on mule and camel back
since the days of the great Queen Of
Sheba, who, the traditions Of the
Abyssinians say, was the queen Of
Ethiopia. The royal line claims de.
scent from her and Solomon. Some
years ago the French began construct.
ing a railroad from their port Of
Jibuti, just below the mouth Of tho
Red sea, toward Abyssinia. The
Abyssinians permitted this to be ex-
tended into their country and in 1917
1t reached Ads Abeba, the capital.
Over this road large part of the
hides, coffee, beeswax and ivory, which
constitute the chief exports of the EN-.
pire, are shipped.
Specialists in various fields who
have visited the country believe that
this Is but small part of the prod.
ucts that could be shipped to tho
world. and that the people are enioy-
ing but a fraction Of the prosperity
that they might enjoy if they devel.
oped their resources along modern
lines.
AS the only African people which
mas been able to maintain its indie
pendence in modern times In a war
with a European power, the Abys.
sinians have become rather conceited
and are inclined not to recognize the
superiority even Of Western civriza-
ton and culture. Their victory was
won over the Italians in 1895 at the
battle Of Adowa where the pick of the
ltaiian army was cut to pieces. The
Abyssinians have bought large quaint.

with Representatives Rickert and Ross, and he had expected to come over the trail with them. But he was detained a day in Anchorage and when he was ready to make the trip to the end of steel by speeder, he found that the Susitna river had inundated the tracks and left the right of way buried under field of heavy ice. No damage was done to the road bed, but it re- guired considerable work and time to clear the track of ice.
 The senator had the novel ex- perience of crossing Hurricane on the aerial tram, which spans the gorge at an altitude of nearly 4O0 feet. But long experience with Bag ley scrapers and gin poles made the ride one of enjoyment to him and saved him a hard climb into and out of the gorge, by way of the trail.
 The trip over the trail, on foot, was not nearly so pleasant. It was a case of wade through mud and water most of the distance between steel.
 While at Hurricane Gulch, the senator was informed by one of the officials in charge of bridge con- struction, that the big Hurricans structure would be ready for use probably early in August. The as- surance was given that a train would be passed over the bridge in July, but it might require some little additional time to complete the work. ~ the material for the bridge is now on the ground and the work of erection will begin just as soon as the piers are ready. Senator Collins left for Falr- banks yesterday.
