wilderness the report shows not only that the i railway is entirely feasible and that thaties its international importance will make it one of the most im por taLt if not the most important commercially strategic T railways in the world but albo that it will pass through the richest country in the world not even excepting e the nile basin and that from present available tonnage na e it will earn above all costs of 01 operation over 10 per cent net on its total cost of construction the first year without counting upon receiving a single ton of freight from its ite acres of rich
