I atn about 25 miles from Sapele,
a trading station on a tributary of
the N iger river, or rather its delta,
in Africa. Am overseeing a gang
of blacks— about 120— getting out
mahogany timber. I landed in A f­
rica on New Y'ear's evo last, at L a ­
gos, a large town some distance
from here and near the borders of
Dahomey.
I t has 50,000 people,
about 250 of whom are white; gov­
ernment officials and members of
trading firms.
I secured a place
with a tiading and timber company
there, and have been moving about
from one timber concession to an­
other until I have covered many
hundreds of miles. Usually we go
in canoes or with carriers through
the forest, but sometimes in a steam
launch. The methods of logging
here are the most primitive.
The
trees are cut with axes and the logs
are cut off and squared with the
same tool.
They are then adzed
smoothe.
A long rope is attached
to them and they are hauled to the
water by 75 or 100 men and floated
down coast where the steamers can
get nt them, taking them to Europe.
All the work is done by blacks, the
white men doing no work but over­
seeing. A great deal of red tape is
necessary before a tree can be cut,
everything is so different from the
U. S. It costs 3 cents a foot to get
out timber here, so you see it is dif­
ferent from Oregon, but it brings
on an average of 8 cents, and some­
times $3 a fo o t
