Motor-Cars in British Central Africa
THE motor-car is rapidly making its way to the most remote regions of the earth. Speaking of the motor-car as a means of travel in British Central Africa, an English journal says:— Before many weeks have passed, a motor-car will be running on the so-called road in Uganda. Mr. George Wilson, the energetic deputy commissioner of that protectorate, who is on his way back to Africa, is taking with him a twenty-five-horsepower motor, which he intends to make use of in his tours of inspection throughout Uganda. There are now nearly six hundred miles of road in country good enough to run a motor on. The question of fuel might seem to present a difficulty, but Mr. Wilson has surmounted this by arranging for a regular supply of petroleum from Bombay, which can of course easily be sent up country to Mombasa by the railway. In the near future motor-cars will probably be running from Uganda to the head waters of the Nile.
