CONSllMHUMS tin- fact that
Rhodesia Is merely a baby
, i mi'ii;; tin* nations- It has
only Just passed the thirtieth
I anniversary of Its charter ? It can coV
t a Inly ho described as a remarkably
healthy Infant, and the curious anonia
ly of rule by a chartered company
?(?fins to have Justified Itself as fully
| in t liia cuse as In the historic Instant,'?
| of the East India company. It Is. In
deed, a remarkable feat to have taken
T a vast tract of country? larger than
i France, Germany. Helium and Hol
land together ? the home of continual
warfare between savage tribes, and
In less than thirty yen** to have Intro
I duced there law, order and security for
I natives and settlers, and many of the
refinements of a high civilization, says
: the Sketch of,Loudou. _
Till the pioneer column entered the
country In 1890. to take over the con
I cessions which had been granted to
j the chartered company, there was not
so much as a practicable road into the
interior. Today there are 4.000
i miles of good roads, while the railway
| stretches north ahd south and east,
I connecting Rhodesia with the outer
l world through both Capetown ami the
j Portuguese port of Belra. From Hula
way o It runs northwards ? a link In the
[ great Cape to Cairo railway, which
| Rhodes visualized?till it reaches Bel
| gian tenltoryr taking the Zambezi in
; Its. stiTde. and crossing It by a bridge
which is one of the engineering won
ders of the world. A network of tele
graph and telephone wires links up the
! scattered communities and brings them
i Inte-tonch With the rest of the British
I empire.
Communications were rightly seen
by Rhodes and his associates to be the
key to the development of the country,
and millions, of pounds hftve been
spent by the British South Africa com
pany during these HO years In improv
ing them. In order to render accessible
to British settlers the natural wealth
and the wonderful climate of this fa
vored colony. The climate Is such as
to make It particularly suitable for
European habitation, the fact that the
country is within the tropics being
counteracted by the height above sea
level. the plateau which constitutes the
bulk of southern Rhodesia being at an
average altitude of 4,000 feet. The
winter months? June to August ? are
dry, moiii-xif- the rain falling between
January and March. Even In the hot
'^season the nights are cool. The tem
perature in the shade rarely reaches
100 degrees and In winter there Is Just
sufficient frost to he of service to the
farmers.
Fin? Country to Live In.
The proof of the pudding is In the
enttngr ? tlie low death rate and the
sturdlness, not merely of the settlers,
but of their Rhodefdain-boru and bred
Children. There Is no need to send the
latter home ? the separation which
makes India, for example, so painful a
place for parents? either for health or
for education. There are between
thirty and forty good schools In Bho
deslw, wholly or partly maintained by
the government, and several of these
educate their pupils up to the standard
of entrance to the University of Cape
town. while three carry on education
to the Oxford and Cambridge matricu
lation examinations.
There are plenty of opportunities for
' sport In Rhodesia, there being some
] twenty-five varieties of antelope alone.
{ Large game, In the shape of lions, ele
I phants. rhinoceros, etc.. is also plenti- I
' ful. Sport of other kinds Is entered ,
! to by the provision of clubs for polo, ;
i golf, cricket and alher games,
j in addition t<*. mining? for gold. coal, j
chrome Iron and other ores ? the chief ;
Industries of Rhodesia ?re agriculture ,
In Its various forms and cattb?-ralslng. j
There are hug?' areas <>f country emt- j
nently suited for erasing, and many of .
the leading authorities are of the opin- j
ion that Rhodesia will In the near fu- |
tiire he one of the trr.-aiewt meal-pro- ,
dncinir countries of the empire and the ;
world. The native cattle are small, j
but hardy and fle?hv. and a xntisfae-i
lory breed Is now being graded up
which preserves the good qualities of
the native stock, while artdtnc the
greater size of the Imported hulls.
| tJrent efforts are being made by the
British South Africa company to de
i.loo the Industry, nnd < \t.-n?lve nr
TaugomelitS mi** under consideration
for both refulgeratlng and canning on
a large scale.
The staple product of agriculture
proper Is "mealies" of maize, for
which there is a targe demand annate
tlte natives ; but the soil Is so prolific
that a large variety of other crops can
ho grown, acc<?rdlng to the 'region and
altitude selected. 6tinng^* ftn<t lem
ons and tobacco, of both the ''Turkish"
and tho "Virginian" varieties are being
grown more and more largely, the cul
tivation of tobacco, In particular, being
assisted by the British South Africa
company, which provides expert advice
and assistance, as well as curlug
sheds and packing-warehouses for
grading and preparing the leaf.
Has Overcome Severe Setbacks.
Rhodesia has been unfortunate In
experiencing many setbacks, which
might have discouraged or even (
wrecked a less courageous community.
The Matahclc and Mashona rebellions
were, for a time, a dangerous menace i
to the country, and were only quelled
at a great expense of time and money;
hut wise and sympathetic treatment of
the natives have, It Is hoped, eliminat
ed this menace for the future. ..The
unfortunate Jameson raid involved
Rhodesia In Its Consequences, not the
least of which wato that, for a time at
any rate, it wak deprived of the wise
counsel and guidance of Its founder.
The . rinderpest outbreak of 181)0
'swept away a large proportion of the
stock which was the mainstay of both
settlers and natives; but modern sci
ence has discovered means of prevent
ing tfils^and similar epidemic dlseaaei
ainong cattle, so that fears need no
longer he entertained on this head by
the farmer who takes the' needed
measures of protection.
Lastly, both the Boer wnr and the
war with Germany have depleted the
country of a large number of Its best.
n\en, at a time when they were urgent
ly needed for development. But now
the men have returned, for the most
part, and the matertal future of Rho
desia Is a bright one. With abundant
natural resources, fine climate, con
genlal society and most of the conveni
ences of civilized life, Rhodesia offers
a fine future to those possessed of
some capital ? say, "from ?2,000 to ?5,
000; for the moment conditions are not
favorable for the settlement of the
small man without capital.
The political future is less certain,
but the majority of the inhabitants,
looking to the advantage of a settled
rule, undisturbed by political changes
at home, and backed by the ever-ready
check book of the Chartered company,
seem to prefer, for the present, at any
rate, to remain in statu quo, rather
than to essay the doubtful experiment^
df. either Independent responsible gov
ernment Or inclusion in tin? Union of
South Africa.
PUT OFFICER IN QUANDARY
That Boche Prisoner Claimed to B?
Fellow Townsman Filled Him
With Mixed Emotions.
There Is a good story of an incident
that happened In France when a group
of officers from u division made up
largely of easterners was watching a
column of German prisoners file past.
The cOlUmn halted for a moment, and
from the ranks of prisoners came a
voice which said ? not only in good
ICngltsh, but also In the vernacular ?
"Where's the guy from Pittsburgh?"
Wondering ? and not knowing to
this day ? Ivuw news of himself and his
native town had Bcnctrated the Ger
man 1 1 hps.' an oflleor replied stiffly:
"I'm from Pittsburgh! Why?"
"Remember Blank's place?" the
prison**!- Inquired.
. "I've heard of it," the officer ad
mitted.
"I was bartender there," said the
prisoner.
it sounded llkr n voice from home ?
.vet It came from a boche. And aa
the officer later confessed he didn't
know whether to Khake hands with
the fellow or shoot him.
