CAPE TO OAIRO RAILWII YOUNG LADIES HOW THE GEEAT WOSK PHOGRESSING. IS Can Be Completed ior Twelve Million Founds Sterling. Sir I'harli's \K;tculie, who rocenrlly orrisiMJ ill London, was interviewed by a rL'|<re»'nlative of South Africa, Willi n-giird to O'ti subjects of the tape to Cairo Uiiilway and the in- dustrial i)r<).-.puiis of Hhodesia. â- 'V\eM," Sir (.harli'S said, in reply to ii i|U. siion .lb to what projfress had b.i>n <nndo with the Cape to <'airo liiiu durin;? the past few months, "to go back a little way, the line has bfi-n oiieii right up to the Vietoriii Fulls since June 20, and Iho iiotel w." have built th«re for the accoiiiinodation of visitors is n very comi'ortahle one. It possesses everv modern roiivenience, and from it there is oblainod a heuiitifu! viuw oi tlu; y.aiiihesi Gorite. The cable- Wiiy aiTO-s- the gortie is working sai^- isfmtorily . The foundations of the 1)1 iilne were beini? put in when I left and th.i "-teel work is bow being erec- ted. Th(' line on the other side is be- inir lor.sirui ti'u. anti we liO|>e to ha\L' the bridge itself completed by tho ond of the yean. By that time, too. tho rails should be n<>nr Kalomo which is tihoiK 100 miles north of Vii toriii Kails, and is tho present seat of the government of Sorthwe.st BhodcFia." 'â- 'I 'he line has been surveyed for 8onie distance beyond Kalomo. has it not. Sir Charles?" "Yes. The surveyors are making for the P.roken Hill country, 3(50 miles l.-eyoiid the falls. The lino will cross the Kufiie Kiver .it a point where there is no flooding." "Then the continuation of the line still farther north, beyond Brok -ii Hill, will en:iblf you to tap the Ka- tanga copg^-r country, will it not?" "It will do so presently. Broken Hill is sttll some distance from tho rich d'epnsits of coii4>er in the Ka- tange country." 'Ooi-don Forbes, the leader of the Rhodesian delegates, infomieti me the other day that the people of Bulawayo and Salis-bury objecti-d to the profits earned by the Southern Rhodesia Railways being used for the extension of the line be.vond the falls because they contend that such pro- tits should b'e applied to the recfuc- tion of rates, whitti they say are now very excess! v u . " "I am afraid tho.se p«'ople who object to 1 he extension do not look far enough ahead. They objected to the line noing be.vond Bulawayo: but since the .section from Bulawayo to the fall;' was completed in June last, at least 1,0<>i> visitors have passixl through lUilawayo, and 'hat means that a great deal of mone.v has he.?n spimt in that town. We don't make the railways to do nothing with them Wo hope that each .section will jiay its own expenses. Kach se<tion of the railway is built on common-sense lines, and with a dis- tinct obje.'tive."

We are very lucky in respect til bridges, for the" only big bi^dge we shall have to build for" many hundre<l ii»iles after crossing the 7sTmliesi vill be the one over the'Kafue River.

"Then the other portion of the route has not yet been Si'ttled'?" "Xot yet, becau.se we don't make lines without a distinct purpose. We only build them through the dis- til -ts which we s^•e offer the best i-h.ince of gi\ing us n reimmerative trafflc.

JOHN C. HTrFFMAH SPEAKS TO YOr ALL. She Tells ai Her Troubles and Their Cure That You May be Benefited. Napanee, Ont., Sept. 12 â€" (Special). â€" ^There are niany women in Canada who will yet write letters of thanks to Mrs. John C Hurtman of this place. -Mrs. Ituffnian suffered as they are suffering now. She dis- covered a cure in Uodd's Kidney Fills: and she is breaking the law of secrecy that bitKls the graat ma- jority of womankind to let her suf- fering sisters know where they may find relief. Mrs. HuCfnian taya: "I was troubled for about si.x years wiih Kidney IHsease and the pain was so great I could hardly bear it I could not entertain any contiiiany. One night when I was feeling very miserable I read of .Some wonderful cures by Dodd's Kid- ney I'ills and resolved to tey them. " .\t this time my urine was sonse- thing terrible and at times very dis- agreoablo to pii.ss. hut DrKld's ' Kid- ney Pills soon brought me relief from all my troubles and by tho time I had taken six boxes 1 was coni- pl-tely cured. "I am making this statement to the public in the hope that it may hell) oth,er young ladies or married women." and has toinpelled a gteat number of I people to go upon the land. W^hen a I new country is laid out on the Unos of Hhodesia, everybody wants and expects to make i;2.000 a year from }lhc beginning; now no new cotmtiy jean be made upon that basis. The small holders of 160-acre lots make ^the present wealth of America; and jwith the railway facilities we now ;liave in Rliodesia. that colony is get- Itmg ripe for the advent of the small I holder also. We want iiKm out there I who will settle on the land and make ia good living out oi it, and make the colony their home. ' •We all firmly believe that Kho- idvsia orters jjeculiar advantages to the small settler who has a little icapiial and is not afraid to work." ".lust so. One great ad\antage which Rhodesia oilers to small set- ! tiers lies in the fact that it is pre- lemii.ently a produce country, antl I that in time it will be able to export all kimds of products." i "Cotton and tobacco, for in- !. stance?' I "Yes, we can grow the very linest jtobacco and cotton. As to the to- |bacco. what 1 am very pleased about jls that wo are able lo produce the I very best leaved â€" really cigar wraj)- i per leavesâ€" and the linesc kind oi iTur^isii cigarette tobacco. It grows 'adjtvirabl.v out there ami there is a igri-at future before the industry. And what is true of tobacco is tnie o; the cotton also." "How are the elTorts to stamp out the cattle disease progivssing. .Sir Charles?" "Very well iiitiecd. The farmers. iC.-iJe. ially ia the ca:-U>rn districts of ; Kho«lesia. are dipping atid spra.ving I their cattle and horsi's con-^tantly. I Willi the result tiiat they are clean- ing the veld of every sort of tick.' ".And I he effect of thc-^e jirecautious wMil be â€" ?' I "The efl'ect will be that preeentl.v j we shall hear no more about cattle I disease, and once tho veld has been I thoroughly cleanc-d. the dipping and spraying can be discontinui>d for a while.'"
