/\ A PIONEER
are usually natural features.
Rhodesia lias Its Indaba tree
and Its Matopo bills. But the
most curious spectacle extant associ¬
ated with Rhodes Is that deserted,,
craterlike pit at the Kimberley dia¬
mond mines, where be began digging
the fortune which made possible his
future colonizing schemes.
Picture Kimberley In the 1S70s. Atop
a bucket, alongside the checkerboard
pattern of claims, sits a big, rumple
haired, slackly garbed English youth,
staring into vacancy. In him Natal has
lost a cotton grower, and the world
will one day gain—to put it thus, since
his name is Rhodes—a Colossus.
The English doctors gave this young
Cecil John Rhodes a year or so to live,
but the South African climate has
saved him. From death to diamonds,
and from them to vast wealtti, South
African statesmanship, and empire
building—such will be tlie swiftly as¬
cended rungs during a life that will
end at forty-nine years.
Meanwhile he dreams—he is an in¬
corrigible dreamer. Presently he will
be making wills, based on some future,
chimerical wealth, to the end of
tending the British empire so vastly as
to "render v4rs impossible anil pro¬
mote the best Interests of humanity."
The two Rhodestas, of which the
Northern colony Is almost double the
size of the Southern, contain about two
and a half million Bantus and but 61.
000 persons of European descent. And
over what an expanse are these few
scattered! One might roughly com¬
pare the area of the Rhodeslas with
that of the thirteen states, or parts
of states, lying siAitli of Pennsylvania,
east of tlie Ohio and Mississippi rivers,
eastward along the Gulf of Mexico, and
north of a hypothetical line runniug
through central Florida.
Picture the above region as being
occupied by a population only nine
times- that of Atlanta, Ga.—a popula¬
tion wherein the Bantu a-nd white
races are proportioned at 40 to 1. Con¬
sider, along with that, a civilization
only four decades old, and you have
the basic elements of Rhodesia, the
pioneer colony.
Land of Real Pioneers.
In Rhodesia, individual effort has de¬
veloped into co-operation, crop special¬
izing into mixed farming, and a de¬
partment of agriculture, having to do
with the cultural and financing sides
of Rhodesian husbandry, has come into
.
being for the benefit of the pioneers.
“Pioneer,” be it noted, is strictly
masculine. We have heard of the
farmerette jind the aviatrix, but never
of the “pioneeress.” Comparing the
proportion of women to men in given
countries, one finds that the older civ¬
ilizations generally have an excess of
tlie former over the latter, whereas the
reverse is true of lands later settled,
such as Canada, New Zealand, tlie
United States, anil Australia. Now. in
this matter of male surplusage, tlie
yet-younger Rhodesia out-tops almost
all countries and exceeds tlie above
named quartette by a “masculinity" of
from four to seven times greater.
That conveys, of course, no social
picture of Rhodesia, where woman is
playing tier full part, as always. Rath¬
er, it tells the old story—that the foot
free man strikes out for new lands
and. in time, sends overseas for that
“girl at home” to make the land worth
living in.
And just here tlie governmental set
tlers-assistance schemes enter tlie pic¬
ture. Somewhat similar in effect to
tlie Homstead net tiiat. in ISti'J, called
American pioneers to plant ttieir homes
on free western lands, the Rhodesian
assistance schemes went much further,
in offering nominally free passages
from England to the colony and. up¬
on tlie settler's arrival, free agricul¬
tural instruction for a year.
Like the homesteader, lie pledged
himself to remain for three years. Un¬
like the homesteader, lie was subject
to a minimum and a maximum of avail¬
able capital, and bought his land, at a
dollar or so per acre, on a 24-year in¬
stillment plan.
Settlers Have Good Homes.
To reach a Rhodesian settler’s farm¬
stead, you might possibly drive
wooded miles off the turnpike, and. if
it is after nightfall, hear some stray
lion gulping gutturally in tlie distance.
Yet. once arrived, you find yourself in
a true home tiiat tlie man and his wife
have made together. He and ids na¬
tive boys have built the house, plan
nlng it around a big central room with
a wide hearth. She has made it
bright with gay curtains, with tlie rugs
brought from overseas, with tlie home
land's flowers.
CLEVELAND COURIER
And the smart furniture? Well,
Rhodesia has Its teak, and ft is as¬
tonishing what carpentry native “boys”
enu achieve with the assistance of de¬
signs cut from household magazines,
and the vicarious elbow grease of your
constant presence.
Across tlie broad acres the reaped
corn stands in regimented stacks.
There's a farm store where the settler
sells to ills native “boys.” For amuse¬
ments, there are horseback riding,
hunting, and fishing, books from pub¬
lic libraries, and maybe a radio set.
As for educating the regional set¬
tlers' children, a minimum of ten pu¬
pils calls for the establishment of a
governmental school. Failing that num¬
ber, in sparsely peopled sections, there
will he an “aided farm school,” with
a government grant for each child.
Heading eastward from Salisbury,
you soon fiiTd yourself nearing those
mountains beyond which extends Por¬
tuguese territory. Completely cupped
within their foothills’ lofty profiles lies
Umtali, eastern outpost of the Rho
desias. Nothing could reveal itself ns
as a more charming surprise than this
neat little town, tucked away on the
colony’s remote verge, its streets lined
with tall flamboyant trees that rear
their masses of scarlet blossoms
against the mountain-ringed valley’s
vastness of overhead blue.
A 250-mile swing around a circle
centering on Umtali reveals it as
Rhodesia's gateway to the wild heart
of tilings, where waterfalls plunge over
precipices, and primitive forests clothe
tlie land with silence, and nude peaks
pile their shapes against the sky.
The Matopo Hills.
At times you traverse 50 miles of
wild woodland that offer no more guid¬
ing features than a dry stream-bed or
some cement causeway, built at low
level to allow seasonal torrents to
sweep across instead of under it. Bril¬
liantly plumaged birds flash past,
groups of rock perched baboons dis¬
cuss family affairs. Issuance into the
open, witli a mission church ahead,
is an experience, while tlie passage of
some other car is a downright sen¬
sation.
Yet, though you would not have
guessed it, there are often kraals near"
tlie road, and thus you get a glimpse
of native corngrinding, snuffmaking,
hairdressing (as complicated a process
as permanent-waving), and listen to
a fat old grandmother telling Uncle
Remus stories, in the original version.
Near Bulawayo you visit the Matopo
hills. After a few hours’ drive, tlie
land begins heaping itself into a wide
series of rocky kopjes. Here nature
seems to have worked haphazard,
flinging so many great bowlders atop
of so many pinnacles tiiat one might
well call tlie place tlie Valley .of Bal¬
ancing Stones.
Now you clamber up the vast,
smooth slant of ;r massive formation
and find yourself on a rocky plateau,
feeling antlike beside the huge, glob¬
ular bowlders that are perched there
over “World’s View.” Away stretches
the tumbled kopje-heaped valley, re¬
sembling earth’s beginnings as sculp¬
tured by some supernal Rodin, who
has tossed the half-finished work aside,
saying. “Make out of it what you can."
The bowlders immediately encircling
you are vivid with lichen, in reds,
greens, and gold. A child would call
tills a fairy place, and dream of en¬
chantments. Then suddenly one se¬
vere slab, imbedded over what was laid
to rest in the blasted-out fieart of the
rock, tells you that here lias beeu high
burial:
“This Bower that wrought on us and
goes
Back to tlie Power again . . .”
Ah, power! Far better than any
cathedral aisle does tills "View of the
World,” Rhodes’ sClf-Chosen initial
place, suit with the rugged powir of
tlie man. The gnarled pinnacles are
liis cathedral’s spires, the richly hued
bowlders his stained glass windows.
Once, when Rhodes was a boy. he
asked a gray-haired man why he should
thus be busied planting oaks, since
he would never live to see.them full
grown. Unforgettably for Rhodes, tlie
veteran replied that he had the vision
to see others sitting under the trees’
shade when lie himself had gone. And
well may Rhodesia be likened to an
English oak; springing by like vision
from tlie dust now resting under tlie
slab in tlie Matopo hills.
Just tin Idea
It was John Buskin w ho said It long
ago, but it is still true tiiat the man
who looks for the crooked things will
see the erqpked things, and the man
who looks for the straight will see the
straight.
