Newspaper Page TextTHE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL 20 . . : TUESDAY, . JUNE 21, .1821. ! PORTLAND, OREGOIT CENTRA L AFRICA IS 1 LAND OF PROMISE, ASSERTS TRAVELER ? Further commercial developments in Central Africa offer unlimited fcossiblHties to the white race today declared M. B. tMiddleton of Cairo, SEgypt. 'field manager for a; large jEnglish corporation with concessions in Soudan. - Middleton is here on a Vacation and "was' discussing the Work being carried on ' by himself and associates In territory once re ferred to as "Darkest Africa." 2 Middleton spent 25 years in Africa.. He 1 a Scotchman by birth, but has, by his own confession, become almost cosmopol itan by reason of his. long residence ..among all the different nationalities of the earth in Cairo. This is his first visit Jo America. Hessays.thls country 1 a delightful ' surprise and the Yankee a , peasant fellow to meet and know. ; 'jr. T. PORT OF IXTBT In company .With' O, S. DriskelL a JorUand physician, who ha3 within the iast two years Ibuilt up an excellent practice In Cairo, Middleton came to New York from Port Said in a steel freighter operated by the United States hipping board. They were 25 days en ' tout. The accommodations were unusually good, the food was all that could - be . wished "for and we were treated with the greatest kindliness by the snip's of ficers." Mlddleton- declared. Twenty-five years ego Middleton went Into Egypt. After 12 years at Cairo he went into the Soudan and In 1919. when f he Soudan Cotton, Fuel Industrial Development company was organised by British capitalists In tiondon he became the assistant technical director and field manager. The corporation has a con cession of 1,008,000 acres, for which it paid a, shilling an acre. . The territory embraced in the district alloted to the London people is; being developed and reclaimed. Cotton, tobacco, flax and different other grain crops are grown. 3TATIYES ARE PEACEFUL 1 Neither the Americans nor the English iave much conception of the real Africa, Middelton declared. The, wild beasts hide in deep jungles and the natives have .turned to peaceful pursuits. ' The camel is fast giving away to Ford cars and railroads are being constructed through country once given over to exploitation by Egyptian slave traders. "We are growing American- tobacco and American cotton with remarkable success," said Middleton., "We get from ; 30 to 35 inches of rain annually; and resort to irrigation at present only, tor the purpose of growing our wood fuel." ; The wood fuel, the Cairo man said,' is developed from trees planted each year. They attain - a large growth in eight months, s-when, they are chopped down, reduced to charcoal and turned into a liquid. This type of fuel 'an be manu factured for 4 cents a gallon, while gaso line, laid, down tn Africa, costs l-30 a gallon." : . -t :.. : s : ' FUEL IS CHEAP - "We use much wood fuel In operating our tractors and other machinery. The cost of : benzine Is prohibitive, but : the cheap wood fuel makes it practical for use to farm on an extensive scale," he said. Middleton said thai natives are good workers and. .when well treated and well fed make excellent help. There is a na tive' population of 4,000,000 ' In; Soudan and less than 500 white people,, the ma jority of whom are Greeks and Italians. "We get enough rain to grow our crops, but-must irrigate our trees. -'The rainy season' comes in the winter and )asts for sfx months. ! The summers are dry and no crops can be grown except by irrigation. With irrigation we can get two and often three crops a" year. ' Irrigation offers the same problem in Central Africa that it does In the West, h said. "There is ample water in the Uganda, the-Nile and other streams, but the British government is slow to issue permits for its use." Declares! He Can't Support IHis Family; -Creditors Hound Him F. Wallace Sears of Salem asked the federal court Monday to declare him a bankrupt to assist him in providing for his family. In his petition Sears states that be is unable to support his wife and children properly '. because his creditors are 1 constantly garnishing . his wages. Scars' debts total $1984.05 and his assets consist of $200 worth of furniture. Four other bankruptcy petitions were filed over- the week-end. George W. Clarke of 920 East Main street, asks a discharge from the $8061.60 worth of debts he owes merchants, doctors, banks and on personal notes and court judg ments; A secured claim of $1000 on his furniture is included in his liabilities. Clarke gives his assets as $100. A petition was also filed by S. A. Huntington, 432 Goldsmith street, whose liabilities are $426.50 and assets $185 in bonds. , Harrington's f debts are mainly accounts with business men. - t " John A. Provotse. proprietor of an ice plant and bottling. works at'Canyon City, also asked for a discharge under the bankruptcy law. 4 His liabilities are $7645, and consist of taxes,, mortgages, notes ' and. bills : due ' to merchants for supplies.
