Opening up the Soudan.

THE KILE STUDD OUTi

The Daily Telegraph Commissioner, Mr Lionel Decle, writes;—l have been impressed with the determination of the fciidar to open np to trade the innermost parts of the Soudan. Al ready a regular monthly mail service has been established between Khartoum and Uganda, and, to encourage people to use the route, all the goods the officers of the Uganda Protectorate may order from Khartoum are carried for them free of cost. Until lately these officers used to receive their provisions and their mails via Mom-. baa*; lucky were thoie who were able to get their supplies by that route within a year of sending an order, and the cost of transport to tbfr Nile did* trict was about Is 6d per lb, Letters from England took about four months to reach them when they were not- al together lost, while now they can pur chase provisions and suppliag of all kinds at Khartoum for Jess than the price they would h&vo to pay m Mom bus» ; and they usually get them m six weeks after sending their order. Letters take one month to forty dayg to come from England to Gondokoro, find get home m thirty days at Che oucside, the postage being only Id. Sir Samuel Baker found the Nile blocked by|sudd between the Bahr-el- Gazal and the Sobat rivers. In h*a description he remarks that " The river had suddenly disappeared ; there was an end to the White JSile." This describes exactly the state m which Major Feake'a party found the river ; it had disappeared, but, as they wore above the obstruction instead of below ib, all they could Bee waa a alight current coming from underneath what looked like a solid bank across the stream. Men could stand on the sudd, the top ot which was perfectly dry, and m fact hundreds of men were ab work on lb at the same time. Soundings with lung poles showed the sudd to be from twelve to twenty feet deep, with a channel of as much as sixteen feat In depth underneath. The problem waa iioc to cut a chanael m the obstruction, but to remove it altogether. First of all, the papyrus and reeds growing on the top ot the sudd were then cut down and burnt. Ditches eight feet deep were then dug m the solid and hard peat which had been compressed by the current. Shortly after work had been started on the biggest block, the whole mass got bodily detached, and for forty eight, hours it ran down stream without inter° rnption, and now, where the Kile seemed before to disappear m a * cul da sac,' there Is a splendid open channel from 100 to 400 yards broad, with J2 to 20 twtt of water m It, Certainly, the cutting of the sudd may be looked upon as one of 'the finest pieces of work carried oat of late years m Africa, and the highest cradle is due tg Major Peake, who carried oafe bhe worl, with Lieutenant Fell, E N and : Lieutenant Drury, H ]N. Ifi bas already j made a considerable difference m the ; irrigation of Lower Egypt. The volume of water so released must evidently be enormous, as, since the Sudd has been cat, the Mile has fallen sft at Wadelal, nearly 600 miles south of the former obstruction.'
