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. His assets of $6711.03 are rep
resented by. real estate, machinery and
vehicles. .-; '
Mack Evans, a : laborer : residing in
Portland, , put uv a claim for exemption
for all his assets, $73 worth of house
hold goods. He asks for a discharge
from two court judgments and accrued
interest, which total $254.35.
Following the adiscovery of a bleaching
process,' Belgian Interests will, exploit
the Kongo papyrus for paper stock.
